I like Dial a Port. I've used them many times and always had good experiences. But I do think there are some issues and reasons why conflicts arise that DaP may be able to improve with rethinking pricing structure.
DaP serves two different customer bases - established players with plenty of PP, and newer players who are poor. If you have a tipping model, you must be willing to accept a big different in tips between these two customers. Also, the 1pp per level rule does not apply well to the new player, as PP gain is not linear. 30PP is a LOT more money to a lvl 30 than 50pp is to a lvl 50.
I feel like if you have a tips only model, you should accept the shortcomings above, and accept whatever tip is given. And be understanding to the new players (remember, someday they will be rich, and they will still be your customers then, too!) Either that, or set a pricing model that is clear to everyone and charge specific rates. To not do the latter, but yet complain about the former, is not fair to your customers.
