Peridots for Ports

[Baler]

a lot of porters will port you for free if you give them a laugh!

I find this thread interesting, I leveled up a druid to buy some gear for my monk and joined DaP about 3 years ago. I always looked at DaP as a taxi service, if I do /who all dial and see someone listed I know they are on-duty and will respond and port me, its easier then doing /who druid /who wizard and being told no a lot as they are adventuring and not porting.

Back when I first joined it seemed like there wasn't a lot of threads being critical of DaP, now I see more threads but everyone I have met in DaP is good people. When on any other toon I do /who all dial to travel.

I have always viewed my time in DaP and outside as a customer service enterprise. If the person is friendly, offers other buffs etc., they get a bigger tip. If they just zoom in and out I tend to only tip 1pp per level. the whole point of a tip is to be a tip based on good customer service. I have yet to have anyone ask for a fee up front or criticize someone for any tip.

I was saddened the other day because I saw an epic geared Aftermath monk sitting at a Velious ring and inquired if he needed a ride and his reply was I have nothing on me to give ya and thought does he think just because of my Tag I will never port for free other than CRs? I buffed and ported him anyways because who amongst us hasn't gone somewhere and forgotten our wallets.

Later on that same monk without realizing it paid me back by dragging another toon of mine out of Kael.

TLDR point is tip what you can based on service and don't worry about it; DaP great group of people doing a great service

I never mind getting gems on my porter. They're as good as plat and weigh nothing. Plus porting classes usually have lots of free inventory space, cause it's easy to bank

I TL or port lots of players for free. It's near cringe worthy to attempt to put a plat amount for clicking an icon. Is it nice to tip people for a service? Indeed it is. Should it be required? Absolutely not, but to each their own. insert yahtzee.gif youplayyourwayiplaymine

Ban OP. Gems are against rules.

You assume waaaay too much my friend but please go on with telling the forum what other people have done.

Whether or not you value the time it took you to level up to a point of being able to cast that spell is up to you

enjoy being communist

[Whirled]

Now we're comparing communism to clicking a single button. Please do continue....
