I get that you're entitled, and spoiled, by rich folks, but if your first response is to complain because you didn't get the tip you wanted for a port (that you also didn't specifically ask for), then you can rightly go fuck yourself.

Way too little information here.
1). What level was your character that you got a port for?
2). How much was your tip/donation that the porter complained about?

I just don't get it. Perhaps you can, instead, tell me what you feel is appropriate so I can judge whether or not your time is worth it to me. Don't make me guess when, clearly, your expectations are through the roof, just so you can pitch a fit when you don't get it.

As has been previously stated, 1 pp per level is the popular rule of thumb. But this is just a guideline. Tipping 12 PP even if you are say lvl 20 is not going to ruffle too many feathers. Just try to be somewhat close to 1 pp per level and you'll be fine.
If you can't or won't come close to that guideline then communicate this before the port. I had a lvl 25 toon send me a tell asking if I would port him for 5 PP because it was all he had on him. I ported him for free and was happy to do it. Now if that same player solicited me for a port and then just tipped that small amount for his level without warning, I would have called him a cheap prick.

Isn't it all just money anyway? When all you're doing is standing around being useless in ecom and you have nothing better to do, and the entire process is free anyway, shouldn't you be thankful you get anything at all?

Are boats not free? Are your legs broken? It's just time and the game is free. Shouldn't you be thankful that you don't actually need a port? You may want one but you don't need one. If you are going to be a cheap tipper then communicate this up front and claim whatever you are offering is all you have on you.

I'm sure there will be a bunch of people lining up to tell me where I'm wrong about this, but let's go back to point #1 here; if it's important to you, form a fucking a union and set a price already.

That would be the Dial a Port union.
You want free ports? Put all your gear in bags and claim to be on a corpse run. You may wait longer for a port but at least the price will be affordable, even to the cheapest of port tippers.
