Tipping for Ports: Apparently I've Been Doing It Wrong

[arh555]

Speaking as a porter on Green:

There are too many people taking advantage of old fashioned EQ community goodwill and its pushing me to be more transactional about the service. I'm talking about the elite guild member, 10+ levels above you, wearing JBoots and Guise, who pull "all I got is 11 gold on me, we good bro?" after the port.

I really want to keep the EQ magic alive especially for lower level players but this is pretty rampant.
