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

I guess that's the peril to relying on "donations" instead of just setting a firm price - if you went a straight 50pp/evac or something, you'd never get the 100pp donations (but you also wouldn't waste time with 10pp donations).

For some reason this is considered bad form here for reasons I don't understand

not only do I get pissed when I port you for 14 plat, but you probably wont get sow either.

also when I port guildies they have a slightly better than a 38% chance of getting sow before I sprint off to go farm lvl 30 named for the 800th time....

because mana is free you can't ask a fixed price for it. Also once I only had 8pp on my warrior, I'd have been kinda pissed if a druid had rejected porting me for 100% of my money

Time isn't free though - if you give up an hour of farming/hunting rare drops to port people, you should expect compensation.

Power leveling also just takes mana. Can't believe the audacity of people refusing to power level you for 8pp.

Recovering mana takes time and at the end of the day that is the resource required to get anything in this game. They could use that time to earn more than 8pp.

I'm a porter myself if you'd paid attention, I ported people for less than 8pp and didn't care enough to write down their names on a BLACK LIST

People do many things for other people in this game for free.

And where is that powerleveling suddenly coming from? You sure you're in the right thread?

[Supaskillz]

Just pointing out how your mana is free logic can be extended.

I just think it's odd that if you are going to spend time porting to earn coin instead of xping you are considered greedy if you set a price for your services.

I always feel bad when I don't have more than 20pp to tip. On my cleric I trade Peridots for them to sell. My other classes I try to make it right. Honestly I think most the people that come to the forums to post this shit are greedy fucks. Half the time people never charge me for a port at all and cancel my trade. It's one of those pay it forward things as they might need help with a fight or a 96% rez.

But when I point this out I'm the sociopath!
