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

[Zexa]

I always make sure I have at least 20 empty bags slots on me at all times. That way when I need a port I can just put every item on me into my bags and claim I'm on a corpse run.

I ported a guy for free who was on a corpse run in NFP...

I made him meet me at the banker just for my own amusement as he stood there naked, next to the banker, unable to pay for the port.

The way I see it is mana is free, they are paying for your time. The longer something takes, the more plat you should give them.

That being said, donations are just that. Donations. In no way are they required. Anyone who says donation yet requires money is a liar and should be boycotted.

I spend hours in oasis buffing everybody and have never once even asked for a donation. Its called courtesy. It seems too many people lack it these days.

What goes around comes around, and those who are too ignorant to take ten minutes out of their day to help someone I can only pray that they never get the help they need. I have made hundreds of friends already on the server because I'm not a plat whoring, selfish a-hole. If I'm not leveling or working on a quest, I'm always helping somebody somewhere. I'd say over half of the plat I make goes towards gear for lower level people in need.

Again, its called courtesy. We've all been in a tough spot before. When everybody can take ten minutes out of their day to help someone else it makes the whole place better.

Thankfully most of the server I have met are wonderful people, and completely unlike the cleric who refuses to rez people because its a waste of their time. People remember those who help them, and even more so those are are ignorant.

I don't have a porter on this server but if I did...

I would charge 1p per level of the person being ported, CR ports free... all assuming I was not busy in a group or on a raid.

I generally give 30 plat for a ride, though I will go as high as hundred if I am having trouble finding someone willing and I really need to get somewhere fast.

Courtesy works both ways.

Non-porters tend to forget that.

Just curious, are you a level 50 cleric that's never anon? If not then please don't act high and mighty. If I took "just 10 minutes out of my day" to help everyone who asked I would never get a single thing done in this game. Ever. You are correct they are paying for my time. And my time is not for sale every second I am logged into the game. *shrug*

If you ask why I am not anon, the answer is simple. Every time I want to farm something, and I type /who all zone, and then run there thinking there are lots of free camps just waiting to be plundered, only to find the whole zone filled with anons, I wanna stab someone in the dick. So I do everyone the courtesy of not being one of those people.

I'm so nice.

*edit I meant "why I am not anon"
