Would probably be smarter if only those with GEBs did that.

It's a pretty basic rubric:

+50P for port
+50P for not having GEBs
+50P if you've added a bit of flair.

When porting on my wiz and people ask, I tell them tip what ever they can afford and feel right with.

The only thing that pisses me off off is when someone unloads all their silver/gold on me for a 50+ plat tip. Motherfucker I'm a wizard, that shit bring me to a crawl with my low STR.

Meh, who cares. I've ported so many people and it just varies and there is no 'special way to advertise' that will all of a sudden make you a port baron rolling in the plats.

Most people pay a fair amount and that's all that matters.

on tallon zek classic, going rate for port was 50 plat. people would sit at spires waiting for wizards to show up. when the wizard came, he would usually sit and wait until he had a full group before even doing the port.

Hmmm, by far the best tipper I ever ported was Internode, infamous for the 86 TMO account ban RMT scandal. Using standard internet logic we quickly deduce from that isolated anecdote clear proof that all big tippers are bigtime RMTers... OMG! It's all so obvious now! Dial A Port has already assembled this data and their thugs have been using it to blackmail RMTers! Derubael isn't "retired", he's been assassinated for interfering with their RMTer fleecing operation, he's sleeping with the fishes because he threatened their sacred cashcow! Filbus tried to warn us, but did we pay attention? No, we all thought he was just telling stories, and here he was trying to save us all from the dark menace that has claimed our late, great, RMT hunter as its latest victim. /mourn Derubael.

I once had a monk with CoF, Epic, Fungi, NoS, Tranix Crown, Fingerbone Hoop, T Staff, etc. Tip me 3 platinum for an EJ Evac.

All good monks carry gems for purposes of currency. From this interaction I determined this monk was a bad monk and likely an RMTer.

Some of the lads have done a few projects like this in the past will see if I can dig some up.

One thing we preach is to not use the word "Donation" in their porting msg as we offer a service, at the same time we also tell our members you will do better off jsut taking what people give you rather then setting a certain amount for ports. Porting is an up and down game you win some and lose some in the end it all works out.
