There are PLENTY of druids and wizards alike that will port for 5pp, because we arent self obsessed idiots.

This post exists because there arnt many who will, but the OP decided to attack an entire guild and bite the hand that actually took all that time to do it eventually.

And to make another point, he came back to DaP a few times without even considering sending a tell to one of the saint porters you assume are there.

I stand by what I said before, he did not have enough plat for the service he requested. Sucks, but its like getting an across town taxi ride for free.

Service guild, not a handout guild.

Never forget.

Seriously entitled folks around here.

I'm 55, and my donation is 35-40pp for 'regular' ports. Evacs and fancy stuff I pay more for. That's what I am willing to pay. If they've blackballed me I haven't noticed it. I have gotten free ports on naked cr alts several times. Again, I think DaP is a great service. Some people always seem to hate successful stuff for some reason, I've never understood that. They always trot out the same lame arguments and hysterical 'they're only out for themselves!' claims, failing to understand that that is the key feature that makes it a success. If they weren't 'just out for themselves' they wouldn't be doing it, duh.
"This one time, one guy didn't give me good service SO I HATE ALL OF THEM AND SO SHOULD YOU".

yikes 60 plat is typical tip for a lvl 60 player to be ported?

Like I said, I don't pay that. If they insisted, which they don't seem to, I would simply rate them as too expensive for anything but emergencies. If enough people did that, their revenue would go down, and they'd relax the minimum. See how that works? It's like econ 101 up in here.

I'm a broke lowbie, highest toon level 20 in banded gear, and I've used DaP several times. They've been nothing but helpful. Sorry that the OP had a bad experience.

DAP is a great guild - that's for sure. But the people that interacted with OP deserve to be called out. They acted like assholes to a new player who didn't know DAP is a "service".

OP asked once, they said they were busy and went back to asking them again.

That is irritating and childish, OP did not decide to ask someone else (reminder non-DaPs can port as well) until he got dropped off in IC. OP fucked up by harassing a singling someone out like that. No means no. Busy means busy.

With that in mind, him name dropping was uncool when he was too lazy to /who all druid, wizard or find another DaP

I suggest you read his post again, because if any of that constitutes "harassment" then you are using the wrong definition of the word.

OP is new. He doesn't know what the protocol is. Blaming him for that is irritating and childish.

[nectarprime]

Furthermore he ported OP to Iceclad and stranded him. You think that's OK to do to anyone? Especially a new player?

Amelias said he was busy.
This should have been the end of this part of the story, but
He said Amelias a tell again
He made no effort to find someone else until he got tossed to IC

No means no
Busy means busy
