typical tupakk
Comes under fire because DaP isn't as required as he thinks and he starts reporting people.
If there was no DaP guild, I could still find a port 24/7.

On the topic..
There is no problem using gems as currency. I've even given items to porters that they could sell to a vendor or in EC.
like a giant's tunic that vendors for ~50p. Since as mentioned in the thread earlier druids can port to a ring and sell very quickly.
It's just as good as raw plat.

Maybe this is true, but I don't really think so. I remember trying to find ports on live pre-Luclin/PoP. Most druids and wizards were usually /anon or /role to avoid getting tells for port requests. When you did find one who wasn't, and was not in a dungeon or other area where they clearly weren't available for a port, it was hit or miss on whether they'd be willing to take the time to port you. And lowbies could expect to almost always be denied, because it was expected that they'd pay their dues and run or ride the boat.

When I started on P99 I didn't use ports to start because I expected that same attitude. I was shocked when I discovered DaP, and even then I always prefaced my request with "Are you free for a port right now?" because I wasn't used to a druid who was focused on doing nothing but porting.

I remember my first time going from Uguk with P99 friends to Unrest. They laughed because I was heading for the boat, it was what I expected we would have to do in our teens! I spent a lot of hours on the boat going back and forth from places like unrest to oasis on live. I don't miss it, I'm happy to have DaP service around.

I always use DaP first over sending tells. It's simple really...

By wearing the DaP tag you know they are willing and able to port, your not asking for a favor your giving them business. When DaP goes anon it's cause they are exping / oom / or too busy to take more requests

Druids and Wizards in other guilds or not in a guild I'll only ask if no DaP is available because why bother wasting my time asking someone who may not be interested in porting me when there is a whole guild that wants to port ppl (yea they want some plat - but if you don't tip non DaP Porter's then you don't value their time and they shouldn't value yours either)
