I usually tell people that I won't do it for less than a certain amount of plat, and they get to decide if the price is worth it. Some pay more, some pay exactly, and some flip out and accuse me of greed. I play EQ to have fun and being able to port myself and friends/groupmates around is part of that fun. Working as a taxi like it's my job is NOT fun, so the port has to be worth my while - I have no plans to go zone-to-zone advertising teleports.
Mana regen is impossible to come by right now, but that's just one factor at play. The request for a teleport is basically saying "sacrifice some of your (the druid/wizard) time to save me a lot of my time". If saving you that time isn't worth double-digit platinum at the very least, then I don't think you need a port.
