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

Agreed - with a few exceptions based on locale.

I rarely pay for ports; instead I give them a useful buff.
Word of mouth does wonders.

Pet peeve, I don't mind porting people for free especially if others riding along or if they are a new player but just stiff me and admit to yourself you are ok taking advantage of people's generosity. Unless it's clarity I'm not interested in buffs. HP buff does no good if you are just porting people around.

Ps <The A Team> best tippers. Those guys always hooked me up.

Pretty much. Just shoot A-Team enchanters a tell every hour or so asking them if they need a port any time soon. I usually throw 1k in hard to sell items at porters. Most was a 5k item that was lore. Always ask if they want $$$ or the mystery box. No one ever turns down the mystery box.

It's pretty arrogant, imo, when you don't pay someone for a port. You're telling them that your time is more important than theirs.

Average group port for a 30ish druid is about 10 minutes, whether they're medding or waiting around for people to show up. That's 10 minutes of their time to save you an hour or more of running.

I have no use for buffs when I'm porting. Not even clarity. People arguing earlier that it takes 10 minutes to med in two portal spells are hilarious. Clarity means I'm just gonna be more FM

This is mainly why I just don't port people outside my guildies. Too much controversy. Though I'll usually port people to hate/sky if asked since they always make it worth my time.

To answer the OP: 3 dollars american RMT.

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.

[Supaskillz]

Bind at kc for Evacs to ej. People pay better for this since it's mostly 50+s trying to get to a group. Also plenty of folks trying to get rides back to ec and stuff from kunark. OT is another popular porter bind since people can hammer there to grab a port.

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.
