It's basically the same as a port, all they are is mana, granted the porting takes the time to port and come back but when you take into account that the porter, 90% of the time, meets the following anywa:

1. is bound in EC and can gate back. thus makes it a matter of 30 seconds to a minute of wasted time at max
2. Is sitting in EC offering the ports already and/or not doing anything but staring at auctions and thus isn't really doing anything with his/her time to be wasted

I must ask what makes a port qualify more for a donation than SoW?

I must quote you on this: don't be a stinge-ball
Sow costs 40 mana and 4.5 seconds to cast. A port from the tunnel and back would take 450 mana and about 4-5 minutes of running and zoning. They are in no way the same.

You really shouldn't assume 90% of porters are bound in EC. Anyone with the ability to port should be bound directly at their grinding spot or some other obscure place. We can already port to WC.

Also, i like being in EC. I absolutely LOVE buffing nublings, and I don't find watching auctions to be a waste of time.
