Dial a port is bad for server health.

acting optimistic is a waste of my time, the only things worth discussing are things needing improvement.

Like your QQ whiny attitude slandering people on a forum playing the game the way they're allowed to play? You're not making any friends here. You been preaching this for weeks in EC, you have gone full retard. Never go full retard. Must be such a pleasure to be around IRL.

Just port unwanted people to Toxx, it's what I did.

Amid a flamefest about Dial-a-Port (buried in a larger flamefest about electoral politics) I had a reasoned discussion with someone about Dial-a-Port. I appreciate the convenience, knowing that anyone who has the tag up should be willing to accept a request for a port, but a /who all druid 39 55 might turn up a bunch of druids who are not interested.

However, I also realize that I might be ignoring those new players who are trying to earn a plat or two to fund their characters. Which is fine--I want to support new players. That said, if new players are creating druids to level up to porting age, so they can make money porting, so they can twink the character they really want to play ... then I am less inclined to want to support them. Of course, I can't tell who is who, so ...

If I want a port--I go to the zone I want a port from, preferably one with a ring. I ask in /ooc if anyone is porting, and state what I can tip for the port. If no one responds, then I might look to to DaP or start using the /who all druid 39+ route. Not sure.

One thing we can all do, and something I do if I am in a zone for a while. If someone comes and advertises ports, and someone else later is looking for a port, I recommend the porter who advertised.

Just my two cents.

Rosco is my hero. I'm glad he stood up to this bard. You can only take so much abuse from players who screw you on fees. Dial a Port doesn't work for tips, we work for fees. We port you, you pay us. The fee is 1 platinum per level. If you have a problem with that, then walk, run or wait 30 mins for a boat and do enjoy the long boat ride cheapskate.

As a member of Dial a Port and I can tell you that bards are consistently tip the lowest of all classes. These are the very same bards that charge players 2.5k plat an hour for bard powerleveling service. It's fucking ridiculous.

However, not all bards are bad tippers. There are some good ones.

Also, bards are the biggest abusers of free corpse retrieval ports too since they are always dying due to their risky playstyle i.e. swarm kiting.

If you fail to tip a DAP member or screw us with a low fee then you will be put on /ignore and everyone in DAP will add you to their /ignore list. So think twice before you decide to be a cheap bastard and not pay us because it will be your last DAP port.

Without DAP and the good people that spend hours of their precious free time porting players this server would come to a screeching halt. Raids would have a hard time assembling without the additional assistance of DAP porters.

DAP members are hard working decent folks who bust their asses porting players 24/7. We could be out having fun but instead we choose to provide a unique paid, professional service to players. We help players all the time with additional services that provide Evacs, Pickups, Bind Affinity, SoW, Levitate, Invis and See Invis just to name a few. We perform deeds of kindness that you will never hear about such as 96% rezzes and ports to newbies.

Lol doubt this is legit, also its Rozcoe not Rosco, surely a member of DAP would be able to spell the man's name right.

I am not a swarm kiter, but after the past couple days, I'm starting to consider it...

Easy resolution:

a) If you think Roscoe is a badass hero.. add him to your friends him and ask him specifically for ports when he is online and throw him a little extra on top for your ports when you can.

b) If you think Roscoe is a classist, racist scumbag.. Put him on ignore and shun him.

I like dial a port because once they came around my tells from random players in random zones asking me for ports has dropped almost completely. When they first came out and constantly advertised in ooc id send every no tipping newb needing a port for CR their way.
