As someone who has never played a porting class:
I wouldn't dream of expecting, let alone asking, for a free port from someone I didn't know. I always tip well. Even when I was poor I tipped at least 40pp for a port. You are getting great value for that small amount of plat, sometimes saving you 20-30 minutes worth of running. Hell if its x-continent then it can save you upwards of an hour of your time!
You are also tying up someone else's time, so it seems normal that some incentive would be necessary for them to bother with you - hell, most of the time when I am in game I am not dilly daddling around looking for people to waste my time, but scheming to take over the world of course!
People complaining about some druid trying to make a meager 25pp porting your sorry ass around need to get fucked =P.
