[OMFG Suggestion] Porting Business
I think this is a pretty interesting idea. Doubly so since it’ll help guild members learn jumping puzzles.. which also gives me another idea!
I’m definitely down to try this out, but I dunno how much we can talk about it on the forums since the mods are funny with gold-talk. I think it’d be a cool system if we could make it work though.

I think charging for ports is not going to work and is a bad idea. I never charge just offer a port when I am there for a few mins.. and I never tip when I get one. It is not like it costs anything to put a port down. It is more just doing something nice for your community than trying to make gold.
-Edit to add also 10 silver for a port is insane. Do you even get 10 silver out of a chest for the most part? I know I don’t.
Thats true, but Im looking at it from a different perspective.
If Im not mistaken, this is more of a subscription-sort of thing where the non-mes isnt just paying for one portal; they’re paying 10s (or whatever) to have a Meamer on-call to port them for whatever they need. jumpinng puzzles, map completion, dungeon runs, maybe even some wvw help? In any event they’re pulling the mesmer away for what could be quite some time depending on their needs.
I think its worth exploring. Could be a complete flop, but we wouldnt know unless we tried. Either way we’ve nothing to lose and potential profit to gain.

Sounds like its worht a try, actually. We could make a seperate guild for people who are willing to port. A person who wants to get ported simply picks someone from the list of members ranked as ‘porter’ and whispers, or something.
I know some people leave their mesmers afk in jumping puzzles forever, and in that case it could be in the message of the day or something.
10 silver per month sounds fair :P
edit: what are we going to do with the money O.o upgrades and stuff dont do much since its only for 1 server :/ Maybe it can fund the rewards for contests and stuff :o
