I'd never set a fixed rate for my ports.
I never check the level when someone ask for a port and I'd feel horrible charging a lowbie 50pp for a port.
When people ask if there's a rate I always tell them "Whatever you can spare".
This is to give everyone a chance for a port and not feel cheap.
Sure some higher level abuse that and tip a low, but it still means a lower level is able to get a port.
Give your tipper what you can afford. Dont try to "abuse the system" by going "Well in that case I can only give you 1 gold on my level 50 in full Rubi, since I cant spare anything", since I can also simply put you on ignore if you try to abuse my service.
Same with the few people who abused the "CR ports are free" then started to equip their gear as they ran away after the port. Easy way to get on ignore.. and come'on what a pathetic way to save a few PP.
In 99% of the cases people are able to use common sense and if they're in doubt, they can always ask.
As for needing a bind, most of us wont mind dropping by and binding.
