How much money in general can a porter make a day on average?

No. You get a hammer for that

Well most people have been giving me 5-10pp for ports to most places, including DL. I don't know if that's what people normally donate for a port or if people are just giving me something because I don't ask for donations in my port macro, but it feels a little low for the time I spend porting and sitting for mana.

Someone said I should bind just outside of KC? Why?

Hah, 5pp for a port, wow, more like for a sow.

Outside KC = people done xping who want to get out of kunark and to mainland maybe?

Since all are 50+, a better chance of a decent donation to boot.

I can promise you that's normal. I bound outside of KC for a few days, I'd get two *insert class R guild* members running through in 30 minutes and drop 100pp on an evac, and then an *insert class C guild 60* ran through 5 minutes later and gave me 15pp. And there's nothing really to even say about it, because what's the answer? Are you a greedy bastard or are they a stingy bastard when that happens? If they say hey sorry I'm a bit short on pp at the moment I'll get you more later, is that any different than porting someone for a CR? After that 15pp port another level 60 gave me 100 gold. It is what it is.

Very few people send you a tell about a port and then show up for said port immediately. You usually stand around for a couple minutes waiting. Also, pre 50 med is much slower than post 50. 600 mana is sizable for a level 40'ish druid to med back. Do the math.

Perhaps 30 minutes if pushing it, but 20 minutes is reasonable.

If I am in OT soloing I usually get nice requests for ports and they pay about 30-50pp. I also get random tells, pretty much all day long with nice requests for ports for anything from high level evacs to lowbie corpse runs. This behavior continues all across the world... Until I zone into EC.

If I am in EC and not anon people are rude and practically demand ports and very frequently get insulted if I don't agree to port them immediately. For some reason they've all decided that I must port them and accept whatever tip they offer if I am in EC and not anon. If I am in EC it's because I am selling or buying something, not because I chose to run a zone away from a druid ring to port their lazy ass. /grrrrr

Let's say a Lv40 Druid spends 3 hours a day doing nothing but porting people around, offering his/her services in EC. Ends up making a port every 15 minutes. How much would he/she make in average assuming modest donations?

I recently made it to level 40 on my druid... My advice is you'll be happier thinking of yourself as a transportation service provider rather than a plat generator. I ooc "Porting for donations" and always SoW them right away and then hit the port spell button the instant I'm grouped with my passenger. After we arrive, I always thank them and then either wave or salute whether they donate or not. Only a very few folk don't realize that it is just common courtesy to say "thank you" before running off.

Most folk donate 40 or 50 plats. So I would consider it more than satisfactory to donate 80 or 100 plats for a two port trip. The most I've received is 350pp and it is not uncommon to receive 100pp for a single port.

I like the one plat per level suggested donation and say so if I'm asked. No matter how twinked, for example, I think 12pp for a porting a level 12 is appropriate.

Always respond to pleas for "port for CR"! People remember.

Porting is second nature for us druids! ...and fun too!

I never ask for money when I am porting and as long as I don't have a camp or in a group I will usually answer to someone in OOC looking for a port. If they offer it I will take it though and most people will. Last night I brought three people from OT to WC and I got 90 plat and this http://wiki.project1999.com/Platinum...d_Wedding_Ring. Thank you to who ever that was, that was pretty sweet!
