"It just costs you mana." / "It just costs you time to run, wait for a boat, and run some more." Every player's time must be valued equally. And if another player saves/gains you time, you should compensate them.

OP is providing valuable information, albeit with a seemingly angry delivery. These types of services weren't available on my server back in the day and could be foreign to folks just getting back into the game.

I like the idea of including how much plat you're going to give the porter in your initial tell but, if you're like me, the amount I tip varies based on the overall experience I had with the porter, i.e gratuity.
