port fee = level*2 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I had druid as main on live, and while I have never auctioned porting/buffing for donation, I still remember being VERY upset when a long time ago, my level 10 shaman was asked for SOW by some lev 50 dude, and didn't got as much as "thx" in return. At level 10 40 mana was a LOT for me. If he would given me as much as 5 gold, even then i would have been eternally grateful.

PS. personally I believe that this was a bad mechanic design by verant. No class should have gotten spells that can generate cash from other players. Wizard/Druid porting model works in 1 group DnD setting, but in MMo it gives unfair money generating advantage to these classes, while being balanced off by having penalized combat skills. Ports should have been self-only, or group port should cost a reagent that would cost like 500plat from a merchant.
Same applies to enchanter being the only one who can enchant bars.
