Want to know how much to tip? Try this experiment. Go to OT, and advertise how much you intend to tip for a port to your location. /ooc Paying 20p for a port to WC. See how long it takes for someone to answer. If nothing, up it to 30, then 50. Eventually, someone will answer your calls. Try this enough times, and you should quickly find out what others' time is worth to them.
Depending on how busy I am, I might stop what I'm doing to port someone for 50. Sometimes not. If I am even marginally busy, I will NEVER port someone who claims they are "tipping". I'm too busy to f around with that. I'm sure others might feel the same way. So next time you are wondering why others aren't answering your port calls, its because the porters have been burned time and again by people who think 5p is cool.
