How much money in general can a porter make a day on average?

It probably has something to do with the fact that you can port more than one person at a time and when you get to Karnor's you're likely to fall into another four people desperate to get evac'd. That's 600pp on top of the original 150 right there, and all you had to do was exactly the thing you were doing anyway.



And I don't get why people keep comparing porting to PL. They're two very different things. Good luck PLing by sitting there watching TV at the rings, occasionally mashing an OOC spam button to let people know you're in the zone, then pushing the "teleport to fucking DL" or "teleport to fucking Steamfont" button, waiting 10 seconds to cast, another 10 seconds to trade, and then clicking the "accept trade" button to take the money you just worked so hard to earn that you're in a position to be a prick if you decide it's not as much as you deserve.

Oh, but running to Karnor's is so hard, you have to cast levitate and invis and it takes 3 minutes to autorun across the zone, OPPORTUNITY COST

Incidentally, if I'm not in a hurry I usually try to offer mana song to my porters, because even though "I have to med for 10 minutes" is a stupid reason for this guy to be ranting and raving about people paying him less than 150p for what amounts to 10 minutes of his time, he is right about that being some shit


And one more thing: As far as "waiting around for the person" goes, I don't speak for everyone, but when I'm running across a zone it's not an uncommon thing for the druid who's waiting on me to tell me he's going to port someone else while I run. I spend more time waiting for druids to get back from porting other people than I do making them wait for me. So I don't think that aspect of your argument is really a thing.
