[Messianic]

I love it when people think you're "greedy" because you demand a certain pay for your service.

First of all, So what? Anyone who plays this game plays for some selfish reason - even if that selfish reason involves other people. Desire for self-gain is a good thing - even moreso, it's absolutely critical for an existence without wanting to stab yourself in the eyes.

Second, porting isn't "clicking a button." It's the fact that you chose to level that class, spent the time to level to a place where you could actually port other people, and are willing to port someone, instead of going to hunt or camp something. If someone chooses to value their time at 5000pp per port, there's nothing wrong with that.

No one is entitled to ports, despite how so many people believe they're such generous and self-sacrificing people who ported someone for free or for only a few plat, and no one is entitled to ports for a certain price.

Therefore, people can price their ports at whatever they want, and that doesn't make them a jerk - it just means they value their time differently than you do. And I sure hope they do, because they'll start receiving a mountain of tells in time to spend their time porting people instead of doing what they really signed on to do. And I doubt they signed on just to port people around.
