Average Dial a port Price?

[Drakborn]

Only skimmed the thread.. but my experience porting in DAP is an average tip for port being between 30-60. Highest was 200 and lowest (not free) port was a lvl 4 with a cracked staff.. I was sure to throw him a bunch of buffs.

I used to port on my Druid a long time ago and I was generally okay with a tip of at least 35-45pp.

I was in DaP for a long time on my druid. I never ever specified a price for anything. Every port was a "whatever you can afford/think is fair" situation. And very rarely was I ever stiffed or payed poorly without proper notification. And in those cases, when someone asked for a port but told me up front they could only pay 5p. I might carry them around 2-3 hops before dropping them off. But I also wouldn't charge them, would just try to make it more mana efficient on myself. If your being told your cheap with 40-50p tips. Fuck those DaPs. Thats just rude. My average tip was prolly 20p. Back before green, when server had prolly 800 avg pop. And i could make 1k an hour easy.

In DaP's Defense, I've never been told i was being cheap with 40-50p tip.

A few guildies actually said that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Reminder that you have not rode a boat willingly in 20 years. Next time you send a tell to DaP to avoid the 30+ minute boatride dont forget

Green. My toons are lvl 29 or less. I don't use porting much. But when I do, I pay mostly 50 plat. Never less than 45. Few times porters canceled my tip. Twice guildie ported me. Free for guildie. No, I insisted on paying. Btw, I pay upfront, before porting. One Druid got 50 plat when I was lvl 25. That porter didn't give me SoW. I didn't asked but with my generous tip, I assumed it should be added automatically [You must be logged in to view images.

I also have lvl 29 Druid. So, I just got first porting spells. Did less than 10 porting so far. Haven't charged any porting yet, (canceled all tipping so far), but I will start charging now. Although, I'm mostly using my Druid to be delivery boy between my other toons [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On a second thought, question to all Druids, which zone would be best to park in, if I want to do only porting that day? Have only first porting spells, lvl 29

What a bunch of hideous old men in this thread. If you don't think it's reasonable that a level 20 tip 20pp, that's fine. But the alternative isn't yo shaft a DaPper, it's to not get a port. Ports are 100% a luxury. You don't have any reason below 50 to NEED a port.
