I’ve admittedly probably been paying my DaP porters (and I’m sorry guys! I asked my non-DaP Druid buddy and he said 30-35 pp was a pretty solid tip!). But I’ll also suggest that if you’re a lowbie, you should get your ass on the boat. My first trip to every continent except Odus was on the boat. It’s good to know how it works and where it drops you. It’s also part of the experience. I didn’t get a port til I was level 20 and could afford the 20-25 pp to make it happen.

That is actually a very fair point. Ports are meant to save people time on traveling. Taking the boat/running is free! But I also don't think this is a bullet proof reason for porters to demand more plat. It's not like they're expending a ton of time/resources to meditate and port people. The only time they're losing is that when they're not porting and thus they wouldn't be making plat then anyways. It's their choice as a porter to sit around and wait to port people.

And as I've said in the past,. Druid is a highly populated class on p99. Even if DaP didn't exist there would be no shortage of ports. Which can also factor into why ports are so cheap in the grand scheme of things.

Errr. I would like to see numbers and facts about that last one. Yes druids aren’t a rare breed but most don’t no like to be bothered. We provide that sense of escape for those not tagged with us to fly their tag freely without constant badgering. But I know if DaP didn’t exist that the druid wizard population would decline or be constantly anon to stop the flood of tells.

@Sirken @Llandris. Can you pull the average numbers of druids on in a 24 hour period those tagged DaP and not. As well as total active druids on the server tagged vs not.

wow really trying to play scumlord guidleader I see. The proof is in the pudding bud.
You of all people should know this is true. Don't try to play games and distill your brand of the truth.

No need for name calling I and actually curious to the numbers. It will help me decide how we do our recruiting this year honestly.

I’m not here to fight you B and I don’t hate you. Out of all the Forum trolls I think you are my favorite.

If I could go back in time I think I'd talk Supremacydru out of promoting Afeni to guild leader...

Dude needs to un-immerse himself just a tad.

I am far from immersed. My game play is little to none lately.

You guys really aren’t that curious? How the numbers stack of DaP to not? I find it quite interesting.

You're the guild leader, shouldn't you know this stuff? What kind of operation are you running..
Also stop trying to derail the topic! This isn't a thread about DaP so stop making it about them.
The only relation to DaP this topic has is that DaP is the loudest when it makes noise.
