Probably was an asian, we don't tip here in Japan :p

Waaa fucking Waaaa..

If you want money, then say "Porting to X for Xpp" and quit bitching.

I love it when I get a port (im only lvl 21) and DONATE 10pp. That's a good bit of plat for a lvl 21 toon.

Only to have the porter tell me afterwards "You know, 10pp isn't even worth my time. Don't ask for another port unless you can donate more"

Since when is 15pp a standard? I charged 25pp when it was just classic. Now that kunark is out and you wan't a ride back to WC, I'm only doing it for 50pp and above. I rarely respond to /tells for ports

This thread makes me glad I bound in TD and got myself an OT hammer...

That is all.

you sound ANGRY...are you?

If a waiter has to take on a table of several people at once, typically there's a mandatory set % gratuity added to the bill. Think about that next time you assume someone logging on for 4 hours at a time to just sit and port people wants to do that for shits and giggles. Some people honestly do, basically sit there and help get people around, but they typically are financially better off.

Something to consider.

In the 300 days I /played on live as a druid, I never once advertised for ports and I certainly taxi'd people around all over the planet. If someone stuck plat in a trade window, awesome... if not... whatever. I figured that I made significantly more money by sitting around or solo'ing without anon/roleplay on and getting random tells from people miles away asking for major transportation jobs. Come pick me up in Toxx, drop me off in DL then grab my twink in BB and take him to WC, give him SoW and Camo and meet me back in DL for 350p. Sweet... that certainly beats shouting around zone after zone "porting for tips" like an asshole.

Uhm, generally it's tables more than 6 or 8. Rarely will you find restaurants require a gratuity of 18% or more for 4.

I tip a waiter if he or she gives me good service and doesn't keep me waiting, this usually involves them taking my order, bringing me drinks and then food, possibly dessert, checking to make sure everything is good during the meal etc. A church passes around a collection plate (donations) for the church and the pastor's sermon, if you feel like you need to donate or it's worthwhile then you do. I've seen people compare ports to a taxi cab ride. The only thing similar is you're getting someone from point A to point B faster than walking. The cab drive takes time, he's working for a wage and tips and he usually is going to engage in conversation for the duration of the trip.

You, on the other hand, are memming a fucking spell and then casting it, which takes 300 mana and the time it takes you to Loading Please Wait.... which is under 30 seconds unless you're playing on an Emachine from 1998. You haven't done anything extraordinary or above and beyond like a waiter or a cab driver might do. You don't seserve a motherfucking tip or a donation. If however, you say hey, I'll port you for 15 pp up front without trying to look like a fucking maryr, then fine, if both parties agree yay you. Till you actually do something worthy of a tip or a donation. Shut the fuck up and QQ, thanks.

this. and if its you from last night that I tried to give 6plat to and you Canceled trade and called me a tightwad when thats all my poor ass had, fuck off.
