When asking for a port

I would send the porter a tell every 20 secs to interrupt their tells from others needing ports, I'd prod them to come get me, where I was at, how long I had to get to point B, how much longer did I have to wait, I did this until they either got me or ignored me.

Had one porter who got really angry when I did this once, and I felt bad because he was legitimately frustrated and agitated as he was busy and I was being a dickling to him. He chided me as politely as he could, warned me he was going to cancel my port if I kept pestering him, and sure enough he canceled my trip and put me on ignore.

So some of them do not have much of a sense of humor and/or take their porting very seriously.

Just as all humans go, everyone is different and so is each DAP porter. Each one has different thresholds of how much dicking they can take too.

That being said, this guy sounds like he is unreasonably agitated by people simply trying to be friendly and polite to him.

My bad, I had too much rum and forgot about the whole wood floating on water thing. Now what about skinning people & using their hides for sails tho? Could one weave enough human tapestries together to form sails to use?

When asking for a port please don't ask are you porting or say Hi. Simply tell us where you are and where you want to go and and please BE at the druid rings in the zone u want picked up from. Alot of us don't mind coming to you but when we run to you alot of other people have to wait for us to finish with you

I hope you're sterile. Lawdy!

We should just all send OP some cash and forgo the port all together, would make the transaction speedier and cost less mana.

I'm guessing we aren't allowed to ask him if we can send him the cash. It should have already been sent

Most DaP members have mains in other guilds. Which one of your guild mates did you just insult?
