Let's be real here, if you're above level 40 and you're not willing to pay 50p for a port, you're cheap. There's no if ands or buts. You can't argue your way out of it. You can argue that its ok to be cheap (though I think you're wrong), but cheap you are.
EQ isn't like real life where you have to pay rent and what-not. If you're cash-poor here it's because you'd rather buy gear than pay for ports. This is a fine mentality, but you should expect to take the boat and/or run across zones. (And if you argue about the various reagents needed for spells, I'm still not buying it: you only need those if you're out and about doing things that = money, or else your guild is probably helping out).
The reason I say you're cheap? You are demanding that people do something FOR YOU and that they should be grateful you deign to give them 25 measly plat (or whatever). It isn't just "pushing a button"; they are taking time out of A GAME to play it the way you want them to in order for you to better enjoy said game (let's also not forget the time it spends to become a druid/wiz of sufficient level to port).
If you can't cough up 50 imaginary platinum moneys for them to then better enjoy said game too, that's just ridiculously cheap.
