What's the deal with all the "Donating" for ports?

Thats how I advertise on my shammy when i spend free time in Oasis and EC on my troll, Cuddles, buffing people. (Those in the area usually know me). For that matter I often just stop and sow, buff and heal people for no toher reason than I can! Sure im ruinning to a vendor, no big deal and it only takes a few seconds to buff a lv 1 in the noob areas to hell and back again, and makes their day better.

The flip side is people who do donate tend to donate VERY generously! Thanks guys! Makes getting groups easier also when people recognize you as a helpful player.

I completely agree with Ribaldron. I will always say "paying xPP for port from blah blah to blah blah" I figure "donating" makes it less probable I will get the port I want!

I think some poeple use the "Porting for donations" incorrectly. I have also heard of poeple saying this then refusing the port for less than a specific fee. Be honest. If you want donations, accept the fact that you may get 1CP! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am a cleric so in terms of rezzes ... if I am in a zone and standing there doing nothing (lfg) rezzes are free. If I am in a group and could be using my mana to continue to xp for my group then I'll accept donations. If you want me to travel to the butt end of the world to rez your L10 corpse, it is gonna cost you!

I wish everyone would do this... lately I just have been ignoring anyone that doesn't put the price in their port requests.

Of course lowbies and CR's are exceptions.
