I've been fortunate enough to have an overall great experience with ports and buffs so far. In fact, just the other night, my lowbie friend and I were looking for a port from EC to Tox. I noticed someone advertising that they were porting, so I asked what the going rate was for a port to Tox and that my friend and I didn't have much money to spend. He replied with, "How does free sound?" I told him we didn't mind tipping at least what we could and he then told me that he wouldn't port us unless HE tipped us! In all the years I spent playing this game on live, I don't think I've ever had that happen, haha. My friend and I not only got a free port, but also 50pp (and he even gave my friend a piece of gear for his enchanter.) I'm not going to give a name for obvious reasons, but lets just say I have a new found respect for gnome wizards, heh.
Anyway, that little anecdote doesn't negate the douchebaggery that might happen at times of course, but I figured I'd throw a positive experience in there. In the month that I've been playing here, I've met some very generous people, and I've lost count of the times I've received buffs without even asking so I'd like to think the shitty experiences are less prevalent than the opposite.
