Even with a plat donation, I really don't care about porting. If I were concerned about 30-50 plat donations I would advertise a porting service (something I don't recall ever doing on this server... Maybe many moons ago).
It's the fact that these people are too lazy to run, would rather bother a porter or pay them plat, to avoid having to travel 2-3 zones... Then they also say that PoK books making the world feel smaller was one of the worst things to happen to EQ. They're choosing to keep the small world feel by asking or donating for ports instead of traveling on their non-port class. Just doesn't make sense.
If you think PoK books are terrible, start running around more. Or get a bard to travel with you with selos since player interaction seems to be a huge concern to so many. That would be some actual interaction, running around Norrath with a selos bard. Trying to suggest interacting with porters is anything more than a request for port and thanks/buff requests is nonsense.

I run unless I need to get somewhere too dangerous for me to cross a zone. I run even without run speed. I will ask any sham/druid along the way for a sow... and I'm a newb who does well to get spells and basic gear so I don't really donate either *shrug* part of the game. You don't have to be generous with your time, be an old mizer and never sow or port anyone, more power to you. Don't blame others for your lack of desire to do one of your classes intended roles though... surely you've benefitted from many many people in groups along the way to the top/wherever you feel you are now, and surely those weren't all mutully beneficial situations...
hell in just the past 2 days I've duo'd on my SK with 2 druids and an enchanter, all basic newbs and all people I was straight carrying, all but sitting there afk (keeping me company while I demolished uguk for us) and I know one day they will be far more useful to other people than me, but hopeful they will remember that and always pay it forwards too. I even went out of my way to get one druid a ress when he died and hadn't bound and was at felwithe, and no druids would pick him up.
....way to betray your own kind!
