1-I personally prefer people ask if I'm porting, it's easier to "r no" than it is to "r sorry I'm not porting right now" (guess you could just give a plain "no" there but I'd find that rude and not do it)

2-Agree wholeheartedly, telling people you "need a port to XX" doesn't give much information, we need pickup and dropoff locations so we can load our spellbook in advance, and don't want to waste time running around.

Keep in mind though;

1-People asking for a port are probably asking multiple porters from 40-60, and it's not uncommon for people to be leveling or doing other things. Many would find it rude to send (or receive) a solicitation without a "hello".

2-Some people are unsure of where pickup locations are. Druid rings and wiz spires are obvious, but evac and succor points are generally only memorized by people that have ported or played for a very long time. Informing them of the location could help in those situations.
