It's not necessarily more lucrative to port than grouping at a decent camp or solo mob grinding, it's just a convenient way to make money without a lot of time invested in setting up a group or finding an open camp. That's it.
Thanks for elaborating on what I just said, I guess? Lol [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thank you all for your continued support for DaP.

Sav good luck in your adventures as from my sources your time here is short. Maybe TAKP or P02 will welcome you and your shenanigans. Also thank you for giving me an interesting read this morning to catch up on the 3 extra pages of chit chat.

I don't even have a specific fee for ports. I just let people pay me whatever they will pay, and I have never really been disappointed by it.

Although the one exception is succoring across SG. I would probably not do that for less than 100pp since it can result in death

Theres situations where asking for a flat rate makes sense, like if someone is asking for a string of ports or special services like binds or xfers (can take a lot of time and if they decide to stiff you you've likely missed out on several opportunities by then.) I'm not a fan of asking for a flat rate for a single port, but that's that dude's business. My experience has been that the good will you generate from just accepting a job and executing it efficiently without bringing up money tends to net you more, though.

Well, I guess I'm wrong. Hopwil is on the Dial a Port roster. Since I can't edit my post apparently, consider this a correction.

Haven't seen him in /gu chat at all since I joined a month ago.

This server community is very odd in some ways. I have in years past bounced around popular zones on my druid while chatting with friends and occasionally /ooc'ing "porting for plat" without actually naming a price. Doing this for a total of perhaps 10-12 hours I've had almost zero takers (as in exactly one). Of the many possible interpretations, I've settled on two as most probable:
- honesty is despised and unwanted here
- people here deeply desire servants (slaves) who gratefully accept on bended knee whatever crumbs fall from the master's table
Note that these are not mutually exclusive.

Monks don't port. Monks run. Monks rule.
