I’ve admittedly probably been paying my DaP porters (and I’m sorry guys! I asked my non-DaP Druid buddy and he said 30-35 pp was a pretty solid tip!). But I’ll also suggest that if you’re a lowbie, you should get your ass on the boat. My first trip to every continent except Odus was on the boat. It’s good to know how it works and where it drops you. It’s also part of the experience. I didn’t get a port til I was level 20 and could afford the 20-25 pp to make it happen.

That is actually a very fair point. Ports are meant to save people time on traveling. Taking the boat/running is free! But I also don't think this is a bullet proof reason for porters to demand more plat. It's not like they're expending a ton of time/resources to meditate and port people. The only time they're losing is that when they're not porting and thus they wouldn't be making plat then anyways. It's their choice as a porter to sit around and wait to port people.
And as I've said in the past,. Druid is a highly populated class on p99. Even if DaP didn't exist there would be no shortage of ports. Which can also factor into why ports are so cheap in the grand scheme of things.
