What boggles my mind is when people sit in the tunnel for 30 mins "LF port to sro for CR."

As a newer player, I try and give at least 5 if it's a dial a port person in the zone. If it's someone taking extra time, I try and give as much as I can. I saw a post about a guy who wanted someone to come get him from FoB and was mad that they said 300p for it, but that sounds reasonable to me. Run to a zone where someone is already porting if you want them to do it on the cheap.

If I get a tell asking for a ride from field of bone, I don't set a price..so just let me know (Gildior) ..It really is a short run since im bound at karnor..

but yeah, make a little effort, zone into EJ and ask for a ride from the FOB Zone Line..its safe and a lot of guys will stomach that better than the extra zone into FOB for some reason

I accept any donation and say "thanks" no matter how small the donation. I always group, port, and then accept donation. However, if someone responds to my: "porting for donations!" and then just runs off or gives me: "no money on this toon, lol!" Then they're put on ignore. Not many are that stupid, but there's some.

I know who always donates 50pp, 100pp, or more and if I happen to hear them asking for port, I'll switch to my druid right away if I can.

Those that make a druid or wizard for the sole purpose of being a taxi service have their set rates, and or methods. I didn't make mine for that purpose and as such remain anonymous because of the endless barrage of tells I receive. Most of the tells are pretty simple, "Are you porting?". However, there are some people that are inconsiderate and demand you cater to them.
I have always given ports/buffs and assistance free and willing whenever asked(Time and Mana willing), in some cases without being asked, to those that are considerate. My point is that if you are concerned with donations then just announce up front your contribution and people will help if/when they want to. If not then you better learn the boats and maps, and remember how much time porting saves you.

I give 1pp for every level I am. So currently my Shaman main is 37 so I give 37 pp per port. I am not rich I quested all of my totemic armor and have about 300 pp atm after buying spells.

This isn't 1999 anymore... Ports don't take 3 solid minutes of loading. I load in 5-6 seconds MAX on an SSD. Tip whatever you can afford.

When I was a druid on live, IDGAF about tips. I wanted Clarity if anything.
