People need some situational awareness. If someone yells they are going to a specific location and offers to take people with them, it is probably fine to ride for free but you should probably still tip because they are saving you a lot of time.

If you ooc you want to buy a port and someone responds you should tip them because they are probably trying to make money. If they are just doing it to be nice they will tell you the tip is not necessary.

If you happen to be in a random zone and want to get elsewhere and see a porter you send a tell to, then definitly tip because that person almost certainly has their own objective being there.

If you happen to be in a random zone and want to get elsewhere and there is no porter around so you send a tell to random person asking them to come meet you somewhere and take you to another location, make it worth their time. Also have the presence of mind to ask people in order of location. Ask the guy in EC, don't ask the person in Fear.

Finally if you need to do a Sky turn in or something like that, consider that the stones for planar cost 100p+ and need to go be bought in locations that aren't accessible to all wiz race combinations. So tip well.

Most of this stuff seems like common sense to me, but maybe people don't always consider the person on the otherside of the keyboard has their own stuff going on in rl and may only have a few hours a week to play.

I give a lot of people ports for free anyways unless I am really trying to generate cash, but still the curtious thing to do is to offer to pay for someone taking their time to save you like an hour of travel.
