That time already passed. It was right after 4.0.3a dropped, and people who didn't read the patch notes nor knew how to get down to the ground from Dalaran were whispering Mages to get a port.

It's funny. Sometimes I like to just hang out on my mage and socialize, spam my portal service. Usually I get a bunch of pst or none at all. It's so hit or miss. I am actually surprised the last couple holidays there weren't more people wanting the quick ports. Maybe people were flying more and exploring on their own. Or maybe there are more mages on? Since I usually hang out in less populated areas I don't get the tells from people passing by I only get them from spamming gen chat. At least this is how it has been on my server. As always it seems more people ask for ports when I am not on my mage :p

I see lazy SOB's all the time.

"LF port from SW to IF"

"You know you can just take the tram for free, right?"

"Yeah, but I don't want to wait."


"LF port from Darnassus to SW."

"There's a boat, goes straight here."

"Don't want to take a boat."

Or the people that spam trade "LF portal to...." for over 15 minutes. In the time that they have been spamming, they could have been to their destination. Pure laziness at its finest.

I am a man of no small WoW gold means, and when I want to be somewhere- say, a toon I left in dalaran, or that I just got to level 80, or want to get from Ironforge to Stormwind, or even Shattrath or Dalaran, I say in Trade- WTB portal IF to SW, 15g.

Mages trip over themselves to service me!

And while 15g isn't nothing, it isn't a lot, and if I think to myself- would I pay 15g so I can be doing the the quests/dailies/exploration/auction house/other content I want to do, or try to sit back an enjoy the scenery while I get there, obliterating a third of the half hour I have to play right now (really limited play time now with school and finals on), and I pay it- GLADLY. 15g isn't the ceiling, but I pay to get service FAST- I'm not sitting there spamming 2 or 3 or 5g so I can save on this one- my playtime is PRECIOUS!

So, yeah, I'm lazy when it comes to that. Yessir, yes I am. Proud of it, too. :)
