You just lost my plat, Never using you. Instantly replaced by another druid who is happy to take 10pp. Shit i'll even pay him 30pp for a one way in spite of your attitude. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You have to remember that the only reason people use boats on this server is for nostalgia or to go to a specific boat zone. There is enough druids and wizards on even during low pop to port to every port location for almost any price. You're not special, Do not pass go, do not collect 200pp.

eh Itap they way I read it is if you port in to pick him up that's 20-40p..either way man..use porting as a mini game, sometimes you just don't get drops [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I find just being nice and friendly (and handing out snacks! people love fruit) before porting away, goes a long way to improving your porting income

25p-50p depending where im going to and from. evacs, or making the porter run somewhere is 100p usually if its anything more than me running to the ring i ask them if what i am going to donate is fair before making them get me.

also I always c2 on my ench.

lastly if its just me and the porter i use /split to give them the cash cause trading sucks.

its always funny when they they freak out cause they dont see the split.

I respect your opinion. Mine says that the class A toolbags have 100k in gear and don't tip. So, blacklist. 8)

I just started P99 I don't have 2 level 60s throwing gear/Plat to my toon, I have what I have made over the last month playing. If I have to call for a pickup I pay 10p and breeze. Typically 10p is 10% of my total plat.

That said more often than not folks refuse payment when they realize I'm not some 60's twink.

I am a newbie and no one has been mad about my 1-2 or 0 pp tip. (mostly 0 cause its a CR) and everyone I have dealt with has been nice. I always get to spires or pyramid so they don't have to run at all. I am friendly and that goes a long ways.

Thanks friendly druids and wizards who know us newbies don't have much to offer and we appreciate your service.

Dial A Port porters can set their own tariffs though, just remember who the shit ones are and use the chilled ones. 90% are chilled, and I think the people trying to charge more for a pickup etc "well, cos its double the mana init?" soon change their ways.
