Make official price for tipping

[kaev]

The level 15 warrior in banded with a BBC they were gifted who tips 35gold is not an issue for any porter who isn't a sociopath driven by sheer greed. The level 50 necromancer tipping 10pp is, however, a greedy pos who should delete their account and stop polluting the p99 community.

Tipping culture is weird. In real life it just leads to a race-to-the-bottom on wages, with the guilt of customers expected to make up the difference to aid the profits of the restaurants. It's bull.

I guess it can work in a video game. Maybe. If people are reasonable.

Good faith. Tip what you can. The guidelines in the OP aren't unreasonable.

Had origins in Europe, with aristocrats tipping favored servants. In the US it started as refusing to pay any wage to freed slaves in the restaurant industry, not racing to the bottom but right there at the bottom from the get-go. Literally a slave wage.

I mean most people in the restaurant/bar industry I know do not mind the system at all. A bartender can usually make more in tips than they would in hourly wages with low (or zero) tips if the wage were higher. It's also mostly tax free income since they only report a small portion of it on their taxes. They'd end up netting less money per year if we switched to higher wages with low/no tips like Europe.

I never port or buff for tips. Lol it's never that serious. If you do fine , if you don't. I don't mind.

I even turn down tips sometime. I definitely wouldn't take any low level noobies. PP.

Yea, I've always lived by the 1pp/level guideline. I can see the "tanks are poor," argument. But just like in the real world, if you can't afford it don't buy it. Hoof it.

Also almost always pay 100pp for a 90% ress. More if they had to travel to me. They might get 50pp if they were already there and have a manastone. Don't cry at me if you have a manastone. You're rich. Prick.

I don't see anything in the OP about summoned items. Bags, food/drink, weapons for pets, waterstones, lev rings, bandages, arrows...

When I'm parked in EC I sometimes get asked and more often then not I am tipped, but I'm curious what people's thoughts are on this, because I don't think I've ever seen it discussed in these types of threads.

Yeah that's a good point. We have all these expectations about ports, but I've rarely seen mages tipped significantly for any of those things which can really make a significant difference in your overall play session.

As someone who has also played a Druid significantly, I think Druids complaining about tip amounts is a little ridiculous unless it's a situation where you were XPing somewhere and took the time to go help someone out by porting them. Otherwise, I'm not going to complain that you didn't give me 1pp per level for clicking a button while I sit there watching Netflix or doing something else.
