I've already explained why DaP porters can't do that. Obviously, freelance porters can demand whatever they like.

And I already said, this is their choice.
But if their guild policy is to not state fees upfront, then they must also accept the consequences of that policy. If this is proving a source of problems for some druids/wizards, then perhaps they are with the wrong guild.

Fortunately, most of the players aren't like you or some of the other posters in this thread, and are happy to tip the expected amount, or beyond, because they understand how valuable porters are. If you want to be the dude at the bar or restaurant that wants to pretend like he doesn't understand how tipping works, and what amount is expected, that's up to you.

Yes, you are correct, that is up to me.
More generally, it is up to every individual player. You cannot impose an artificial rule based on what you think on every other player. If someone wants a "tip", they are saying they will accept whatever I think it is worth, not what they think, and my view might be very different from theirs.
Don't get me wrong, I have tipped half a stack of peridots to folks in the past, for things they did for me. They didn't ask for it. That was just what I felt what they did was worth at that time.

I'd just add you to ignore and you can run your ass to the Hole. I bet you'll need a port before I'll need anything from you.

I only joined this server 3 months ago. When I was in my first couple of weeks, and saw a DAP druid advertising ports for tips, I sent him a tell asking what he meant by tips, and he said "if you don't pay me at least 30p you go on ignore". I wasn't even looking for a port, I had just sent a polite tell asking for information. I was about level 10, and I had about 2p to my name. I thought "what an arse" and didn't speak to him further.
This is the first time I have heard something similar since, and I react the same way now. So feel free to add me to your ignore list, my character name is clearly stated in my signature (unlike you, hiding behind a forum name).
You think I do not "appreciate the service you offer".
I think you are just promoting a "greedy" attitude and then defending "deliberate vagueness" so as to try to hide that.
Most people I have met here are nicer than this. I do things for others without a need to always be excessively paid.
I guess we live in different worlds. Each to their own.
