Therefore, I will /ooc "Porting for PLAT..." not, "Porting for donations..."
Whether someone is doing it for donations, or doing it as a clear service, they are using their personal time to decrease your travel time significantly. Perhaps they just don't have the courage or audacity to tell it like it is, they want your money or items for giving you fast travel at the expense of their own personal time.

You wanna know why people say donations instead of plat...
It's simple.
When you say donations, you have a chance to get people like me who will pay 150-500+ plat (or item that's worth that much or 3x as much) for a single port.
Where as, if you put a low amount, people are inclined to only pay that, or if you put a high amount, you don't get many takers.
Basically, saying you port for a donation = more $$$
The donation system works best, mainly because you earn more from the people who can spare it (the high levels) and the people who can't end up still able to grab ports (the low levels). You alienate less people.
Sadly, high level jewbags like to take advantage of the system because they don't want to come off a few extra PPs
