One more data point: I too pay the "standard price", ie. my level in plat, to a max of 50.

I pay that for a pickup at a dragon circle/druid ring/wizard spire, or for a rez from a cleric in-zone (or maybe from a cleric one zone over when I've brought the corpse to that zone line).

If the cleric has to cross more than a zone to get to my corpse, or a porter has to pick me up somewhere else (or I need them to succor me through SG) I pay between 1.5 and 4x that. 200 plat may seem like a lot, but I think it's perfectly reasonable when I've asked (for instance) a cleric in EC to come rez me in Howling Stones ... especially since (if they're not a jerk) they'll have to pay 50p of it to get a port over.
