Porting Etiquette

[JurisDictum]

If you can't pay 10-20p at least for a port, then you shouldn't be asking for one. The exception is CRs, or some other dire circumstance. Furthermore, if you are 50+...20p is still being a cheap ass imo. I'd say at least 50 at this point. As for a 60 with epic/raid gear, 100-200 is pretty common.
I'm not a druid myself, but my friend (who I leveled with) is. And when your saving up 10k + for upgrades, you really don't want to waste the time porting someone from a self-interest standpoint, unless you get compensated for the time.

Why don't you just tell the porter how much you intend to pay them before they agree the port you? Full disclosure and all - makes it pretty easy.

All you did was click a button and then another button. Thirty seconds of your precious life wasted.

I've said it before, will always say it. I never tip. If you want more money, go loot something and sell it, or get a second job.


Porting is a great way to get your name out on a server as a helpful, efficient and available player. If you are memorable, then I will keep you in mind for groups - something Wizards and Druids aren't often considered for.
When it comes down to it, that 58 Druid whom was tired of solo grinding his 50s, is more than happy to join a group for what is good and easy experience.

Which do you want from me, the group invite, or 50p?

30 seconds to port zone and meditate? WTF server do you play on?

Monks who ask for a port then say "sorry don't carry any cash on me.. monk weight lol~" then hand me a peridot or something.

I had that happen when i was ~lvl 30 with a rez.

"Omg I died in lake of ill omen and I am bound in Qeynos plz plz plz come rez me ill donate 300pp"

Me being a broke ass new player in the middle of camping to go to sleep but needing money says sure.

Run 15 mins

Wait another 10 mins for guys friend to drag his corpse to where it was supposed to be.

Rez guy

"Oh lol, i don't have any money on me but I will put you on my IOU list!"

F' off.

Got a port from BB yesterday to WC and forgot to ask for a camo right away (I'm an Iksar Shaman, only been here a few weeks). I donated ahead, but only had 5pp at the time. Literally as I typed "Thanks!" I died at the rings, and a few seconds later the druid disbanded.

Thankfully I was bound in GFay, ran back to BB, and someone was kind enough to camo and port me so I could get my corpse.

Once I didn't tip this druid because I was on a CR. About a week later I asked a random druid for a port (later I realized it was the same druid), he starts to cast and the next thing I know I have treants and Druids attacking at a druid ring where I did not ask to be ported to. I die and then the druid says to me "next time learn to tip" then leaves the group. To add insult to I injury I see him back at the tunnel (my bind point) advertising ports.

I'm a new player so I don't have much money, but as far as I can remember I tip 10-15p unless I'm on a CR and literally have 0p until I get my corpse. Should I not bother asking for ports unless I can tip 50p or more?

that druid sure sounds like a d-bag if you're a new player decked out in cloth.
