What's a good amount to charge people for this? I want to be fair, but I also want to make them feel bad for being dumb.

I definitely appreciate the pragmatic approach, and maintaining standard order is arguably a good thing in terms of logistics and travel, but I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a bit of resentment here...can we sprinkle a dash of slighting on that? Perhaps a smidgen of malice?

OT is still 2 zones away, charge them the normal rate. Why would they feel dumb?

I go with Chest words, 1pp / level. Free for corpse run. Of course if you are level 20 and show off your Fungi and CoF, maybe you can drop thoses 60p/run.

Sometimes I need a quick TP and I didn't have time to go by bank for a long moment, in that case I spare what I've + some peridot or something. I also TWITCH back every single points of mana so the porter isn't slowing his business.

Dial a Port always been a super-nice service all around Norrath.

Just demand 100 plat, then port everybody to WK > Succor/Evac > disband and port out.

At least with that port you're literally right next to solb zoneline. With DL port, you still have to cross that entire zone.

There is already a thread for that.

I tip 100pp per port, irrespective of destination. Then I sell epic pieces to the porters.

Always do it to the scrubs trying to get a port to South Ro "for CR" for 10 minutes.... "could have got there by now running" etc :p

Tell them to meet you AT the ramp. 10 -35 plat for porting someone who comes to you.
If that's not enough plat for less then 5 minutes of your time. You picked the wrong class. Try a Solo class not a public servant class.

Just want to go on the record for 2 things: These responses have been hilarious to watch. Really, thanks to everyone here for turning something frustrating into something hilarious, which it should've been from the start. Also, I was not being serious in this post at all. I main a 51 SK (badly) and my alt is a little 24 Druid (Whom I play even worse), and I would probably still port the person for whatever reason...But at the time I had quite a few questions and concerns over whether it was laziness or just ignorance. Either way, it could've been funny instead of annoying, and thanks to everyone here that showed that.

1plat per level, free for corpse runs

I like this suggestion. Given income radically increases with level, I might suggesting am mending to 1 plat per level^2/10.
