DaP can't handle the Bantz

I offered to meet him in EC on my tunnel mule if he'd prefer. He told me to "forget it". Much later that evening we were in ToV and I get a tell from him letting me know he was in the tunnel and ready for me to log over and pay him. At least half a day had elapsed at that point.
Holy shit.

I can't stand DaP in general. Has some real emotional idiots in it.

I've had ports from three different DAP members and it seemed that all they cared about was just getting paid, almost like a whore.

Each port, I paid 30p and even before the trade was over, we were already porting to my destination. As soon as we zoned in, it was not even mere seconds later that they were kicking me out of the group and zoning out. They didn't say a word the whole time and not that I cared but not even an offer of a SOW or any other buffs.

I'm sure they are nice people but it feels like they don't care or give a damn about who they port but as long as they get paid. Hell, at least lie to me and say thanks...

I think you ask for too much. You got ported to where you wanted to go. Unless the guy was a dick to you personally, then don't take it personally. No need to inject your feelings into it.

A lot of these folks spend hours porting random people to random places. For prophit, not out of the goodness of their hearts. A lot of times they have people queued up waiting for ports after you. It becomes mechanic. And the faster they get to your next port, the more ports they can do. So that extra few seconds high fiving and whatnot decrease efficiency. Less efficiency = less profit. Just like in the real world.

Ask yourself - if you spent hours porting random people around for money, would you give a damn about who you ported, or just getting paid?

fwiw, I haven't seen many dialers online these days and am quite sad about it. I rather liked the part where I paid money for services rendered. hopefully this backlash doesn't kill this particular service.

That sounds harsh, and sure some acknowledgement of you as a person would be nice.

However, From the DaP porter's perspective they often have multiple people waiting for them at assorted places waiting to be taken to assorted places.

They also may have ongoing tells with people asking questions or asking for a port.

Sometimes they simply don't have a lot of leisure time to make the customer feel appreciated, and I would guess they are simply trying to focus on their jobs.

I do think no matter how busy a porter is, they should make an effort to at least show some appreciation for their tip.

I also realize they have more going on than just my personal port, so try not to take it personal if they seem a bit cold or unfriendly.

At like lv7 or so I saw someone spamming in EC. I was curious so I asked him how much to get to FoB because I wanted to see how it was on P99. He said it depends on how much I had. Having 12p I told him I was broke af so he said he would do it for free. He ported me and evac in the best way Ive ever imagined and he even gave me a little tour explaining where the KoS were. Before he left I gave him 5p for his effort.
