There have been some pretty inconsistent leadership decisions over the past few weeks. There have also been too many recent allegations of misconduct and blacklisting to ignore.

I, for one, find it troubling that a guild which prides itself on incubating new players and giving them a source of income discriminates so strongly against other new players that don't have "enough" platinum to pay for a port.

Perhaps it's time for the players of this server to decide if they really want to support an organization like this.

literally have never experienced someone denying me a port for not having "enough" plat... you seem to be making a lil something up over there

What ever happened to running and boating until enough funds are saved to afford the incredible convenience of a port? People bitch about what is and is not "classic". Paying for ports is fucking classic!

So is helping others that are new to the game. Some of my fondest memories from classic EQ were receiving help from a higher level, and then paying that back to other newbies when I could.

Fond memories. I remember switching main toons in Velious from Enchanter to Mage. I had a lot of help in Ice Clad and Easter Wastes from a lot of high levels. Getting hooked up with SoW, Clarity and more. HAHA! I remember Priests dropping by and buffing my pet with Symbol. That was awesome.

I agree. However, one should not expect to have free ride/buff/gear-up services. People tend to happily help out when things are not asked for or see someone in obvious need of a hand. This server has some excellent people. It also has a good number of entitled wanks.

There are more nice people than wanks though.

I have a druid i'd like to join this guild on, his name is Dwez

There is no official "no fly" list but if you screw a DAP member over by not giving them a tip you have a good chance of making their /ignore list. Chances are that DAP member will share their bad experience with you to the guild and you may make it on other DAP member /ignore lists.

Think about it. If you performed a service for someone and they refused to compensate you for that service, would you continue to perform services for that person in the future? Nobody in their right mind would.

If you are broke and have no money, just be honest and tell the DAP member before hand. Chances are they will port you anyways. We're all human and forget to carry plat or gems with us.

If Dial a Port was a strip club the 'porters' would port harder and longer for the people with the most cash.

If Dial a Port was an Apple Stand, it would give out apples faster and more readily to those paying more for apples.

If Dial a Port was a Baseball Team, they would give better seats, more access, and free hot dog vouchers to the people that continued to pay them the most money regularly.

Anyone whom finds such wild concepts too complex, just take a page from PvP:

Bag all your gear, and claim you are on a CR at all times. See how long you can beat the system.

Otherwise, just toss 30+ a port. If you can't handle that at a high level, use the run you have instead to ponder what else you could be killing to allow you to tip for ports.

Everybody wins.
