Default I don't understand ports for donation?

Soandso shouts, "Porting to all destinations, Donations REQUIRED."

I see this all the time. How the fuck is it a donation if its required????

* A Donation, when referred to in canon law in the Roman Catholic Church, is defined as the gratuitous transfer to another of some right or thing. ...


* donate - give to a charity or good cause; "I donated blood to the Red Cross for the victims of the earthquake"; "donate money to the orphanage"; "She donates to her favorite charity every month"


* Donatory - A Donatįrio, a Portuguese word roughly meaning 'endowed' sometimes anglicized as Donatary, was a private person (often a nobleman) who was bestowed by the Crown with a considerable piece of land, called a donįtaria, which was handed over at his discretion, exempt from normal colonial ...


* donate - To make a donation; to give away something of value to support or contribute towards a cause or for the benefit of another

* A permanent gift to the archives from an individual or organization.

* can be items or financial funds, which a person gives without reward and on the basis of an agreement to a public benefit organisation achieve the purposes specified in the Articles of Association of the organisation, without reciprocal duty to perform activities that are to be consideration ...


* Donations of land or interests in land (easement) can be made by a landowner to the public agency or private nonprofit organization. This may allow the donor to claim federal and state income tax advantages, remove donated value from capital gains, and reduce potential estate taxes. ...


* Transfer of equipment, money, goods, services, or property with or without specifications as to its use. Sometimes a donation is used to designate contributions that are made with more specific intent than is usually the case with a gift, but the two terms are often used interchangeably.

You know... in the many years that I've played a druid, I never did this (porting for $). Not once. I mean, maybe that's why I was always poor. I just saw this as an affront to my dignity. I think the only time I ever accepted a donation is when someone forced it on me via /split. If I'm too busy to port, then I'm too busy... but if I'm sitting around doing nothing and someone asks for help - no big deal. Same with SoW or res.
