You're being pedantic, which is an annoying trait that no one likes. On top of that, you aren't even correct. You're using the narrowest definition of "donation" to bitch about something trivial. You know what they mean, so shut up.
Notice the terms "contribution" and synonym "gratuity". A gratuity (commonly referred to as a "tip") is exactly what they are asking for when they use the word "donation". If you go to a restaurant and have a meal, you are 100% not required to leave a tip even if the service was excellent. Just because you are not required to tip (just as you're not required to donate for a port), you're still an asshole if you don't.
Being pedantic is annoying. Being pedantic and incorrect about it is even worse. Unless of course you think every single person who uses the word "gratuity" to describe tipping at restaurants is also wrong.

Great jerb, man. As someone else said, the 'donations' request is an EQ cultural thing. Accept the fact that people hope to get contributions for spending their time and mana (more time) moving your ass from place to place.
Dumb thread. Porters will keep porting, and if you aren't a scumbag, you will tip them a fair amount. 1pp per level is a good rate, unless youre high level then you best be dropping 50pp
