Is druid money making pretty good?

[Jimjam]

Honestly, when I see the 1k/hour figure, it just makes me want to tip less.

This ^

Not to mention the "normal" payments of ~50pp make up for all the 10pp payments and free CRs that come with the job. I hope the 1k per hour figure hasn't discouraged anyone from tipping their porters well because you think they make "too much". You have to be dedicated to it to get to that level.

That's pretty dumb. Normal PLing rate is 2k/hour. There are countless camps with potential far better than 1k an hour. If more people think the way you do and start tipping less it will get harder and harder to find a port when you need it.

People apparently fail to realize that these porter Arent there only to serve you.

1k/h seems to be the golden standard in most way to make plat, I see no issue there

Mate, I've levelled a wizard and know 1k / hour isn't realistic for fair weather porting. The point is Toopack makes it seems like the day to day porter can easily make more money than they are realistically likely too.

Perhaps I should have mentioned the qualifier "If I didn't have this personal experience I'd feel like (blah blah blah).

Personally I believe in tipping what it is worth to you.

Then again my wiz was csg tagged so 3 big guilds and the 2 large 'competing guilds' rarely attempted to tip.

Yeah, wasn't at all clear what you were trying to say without that.

Sorry don't buy it for a second. People who don't tip, regardless of tag, are incredibly rare.

Everyone's experiences are different, but based on my time porting I'd say they're maybe about 1 in 5 (maybe even closer to 1 in 4; I don't keep statistics and you'd really have to keep track of a bunch of customers before you could get a proper answer).

My druid is only level 46, with no guild tag, and he's not wearing anything fancy, so it's not like people are thinking "oh he's rich we don't need to tip": they just choose not to tip.

Maybe people just don't like you? Haha, JK [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Maybe it is the lack of a guild tag that makes them think there aren't consequences to not tipping. I've literally ported/TLed 100+ people in the past few weeks with my Wizzy guild tagged and I've probably only had 2 or 3 who didn't tip and if I remember correctly, they all warned me about their lack of plat.
