Sometimes there is only one DAP online, so I imagine they are quite busy so want to make sure they deliver all the players who value the port most first. In this circumstance I can understand why some porters will refuse to take low tip rides.

I don't have a DaP and can only imagine how busy they are. If I so much as set foot into the common lands to buy bat wings on my wizard I'm likely to get tells within seconds requesting ports. This is no problem as I am happy to add 5 minutes on to my journey to save a few strangers and hour or so more.

I don't think 1pp/level is the going rate. 20-40 pp seems to be the ball park for those that tip, regardless of level. Maybe a third or quarter of player don't tip. TBH I am happy to port anyone for free as long as they are wearing less than 20k in gear. If they aren't then the begrudgingly get a free port instead.
