You don't bring enchanters on group excursions with you right? Best leave them parked for Jc purposes. I mean, who wants clarity or CC, chanters were designed to enchant metal and nothing else!!!! Necros are only useful to summon corpses. It's not like they have any sort of utility or ability to solo, so if you do anything other than summon corpses with your necro, your doing it wrong and wasting the whole servers time and pixels!!! Also, this guy is right, what are Druids good for other than porting? Buffs you say? Dps? Offheals? Not necessary!!! We have clerics, whose only job is to Rez you. So have no fear, just die, the cleric has saved all his mana for this situation! To do what they were designed to do, and rez!!!!

/sarcasm off, people don't play this game or there characters to do what you think they should do. Maybe try a single player game? Or eq live with mercs that do only what you want them to.
If you don't feed it, it will go away and/or starve.

If you're a Cleric, you rez people. If you're a necro, you summon corpses. If you're an Enchanter, you make enchanted metal and breeze people.

That what these classes are designed for, nothing else.
Communism sounds great in theory but humankind has never seemed able to make it work it seems. Neither have the denizens of Norrath.

Druids and wizards are living in a capitalistic free trade system on P99' and in simpler terms they make what the economy and the people can afford via porting.

When they port, how they port, and who they port is figured out through a simple process of supply, demand and available money to pay for such services.

You might not like the idea of elves and humans porting whoever they want for plats, but honestly you can't stop the oldest profession known to Druids.

I suggest trying it once. You might enjoy it. There's something to be said for the lack of commitment attached to paying someone for your ports through a porting business.

It's not a business, it's a public service. It shouldn't be a source of income, it should just be expected of every Druid, because it's their job.

Do Paladins and Shadowknights get paid extra for tanking? No, they get the same share of loot as the rest of the group, sometimes even less. So why should Druids get more for doing something that should be automatically expected of them?

Everyone is there to do what they want. The tank get exp, as does everyone else.

However, if you tell me as a tank I have to be outside of the group and I should be happy tanking because "it is my job" then, yes, you better damn well pay me handsomely.

I have to admit, you have convinced me. Druids should port everyone around, and in fact I can't believe they have the nerve to charge people.

Chanters don't charge people in groups to do CC or give C... Why does a wizard or druid charge for porting people?

I agree. Ports for money is asinine and ridiculous!

If the Druid or wizard is in my exp group and we decide to move. Ya, I'm expecting them to port the group for free. If I /tell a wizard or Druid to come pick me up and take me somewhere, and don't know them. Why would they port me for free?

What do you do for a living? Do you expect contractors to work for free because it's there "job"? I don't, I pay them to build things because that's how jobs work....

I don't need to port for handouts. I get my plat from RMT, so I prefer to play my twinked Ranger.

I don't agree with the RMT rules, while I'm on the subject. If I can afford it, I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to do it. Not everyone has 15 hours to commit to this game to farm.

Guardian Kozzalym spawns every 5 days in WW, I expect you to be there 10 min before he spawns to track it for me - because that's your job.

No, you may not roll on the Fusible Vellum Ore.
