I don't understand ports for donation?

I get more angry when I'm trying to get a port, and I say porting for donations, but nobody sends me a tell. But then when I mention how much I'm donating I instantly get like 5 tells. I intended on paying that much in the first place...

I have had people above level 40 ask me to pick them up in zones and port them elsewhere and then been tipped 15 plat or less.

I never get angry or say anything but inside I am thinking "I just left my soloing spot in lguk to pick this dude up and port him and he gave me 15 plat."

Announcing the amount of the plat you are willing to pay will definitely speed things up. If you are ever donating 50pp+ I will almost always drop what I am doing and port unless I am grouped or have a named camp.

I need to save up for a Manastone somehow.

As a side note I could say the same thing about when I ask for resses. Say you are donating you rarely get a response saying you are paying 100pp and you will drag to them gets responses fast. I understand and don't have a problem with this.

Druids who charge mandatory fees for ports are shit. Druids who help all Norrathians travel freely are beacons of American light in this dark Muslim world.

Grounding a noob to fucking Toxxulia because he doesn't have 70pp for your time is a job for someone much browner than the good citizens of the Heartland of America.

I hate it when they do that. I'm no mooch, but porting a warrior to toxx because they don't have the amount of pp you want is worse than rude.

When clerics stop expecting to be paid for res, I'll stop asking to be paid.

If I'm not doing anything, I will run and rez people wherever (I made the mistake of running to HHK to rez one guildie corpse yesterday and ended up doing 7 free rezzes). But if I'm in an exp group at Lord in Lguk and someone is asking for a rez at live side zone in, I expect to be compensated for my time.

I feel like druids should be the same way, if you're sitting in EC drooling on your keyboard, why not give someone a ride for free? On the other hand, if you're in the middle of a quad kite in OOT, maybe some payment is in order.

When I get 10p for a rez I cry irl, get mad, and go to sleep. The next day I lash out at those close to me while socially isolating myself from everyone else. I'm usually better by the evening, however.

I remember before luclin came out, I was playing a wizard and was meding outside KC when some guy came out spamming for a druid to port him. I told him I was a wizard but he said he wasnt looking for a group, he was looking for a port. O-o I was trying to offer him a free port but I think he didnt realize the wizards can port too, not just druids. He ran off looking for a druid... I just shrugged and continued soloing. Later on he was spamming LF a rez... O_O

Heh, i get annoyed when people try and donate for clarity.

I don't want your 3pp...

what annoys me even worse is the people who come up and just put money in a trade window and click trade... as if i'm supposed to instantly recognise that this person wants clarity or something.

Perhaps they are getting your name confused with omniscient and believe you already know what they want?

I never find this annoying. In fact, I support the whole concept. If anyone wants to walk up to me and place money in my hands, feel free.
