Each port, I paid 30p and even before the trade was over, we were already porting to my destination. As soon as we zoned in, it was not even mere seconds later that they were kicking me out of the group and zoning out. They didn't say a word the whole time and not that I cared but not even an offer of a SOW or any other buffs.
I'm sure they are nice people but it feels like they don't care or give a damn about who they port but as long as they get paid. Hell, at least lie to me and say thanks...

That sounds harsh, and sure some acknowledgement of you as a person would be nice.
However, From the DaP porter's perspective they often have multiple people waiting for them at assorted places waiting to be taken to assorted places.
They also may have ongoing tells with people asking questions or asking for a port.
Sometimes they simply don't have a lot of leisure time to make the customer feel appreciated, and I would guess they are simply trying to focus on their jobs.
I do think no matter how busy a porter is, they should make an effort to at least show some appreciation for their tip.
I also realize they have more going on than just my personal port, so try not to take it personal if they seem a bit cold or unfriendly.
