Since when is 15pp a standard? I charged 25pp when it was just classic. Now that kunark is out and you wan't a ride back to WC, I'm only doing it for 50pp and above. I rarely respond to /tells for ports

This makes no sense.

Why would it cost more to go to and from Kunark.

fucking glass licker.

The same reason superbowl tickets cost more, traffic = demand = premium.

When I ported in classic, I said "Porting to all locations, 20p upfront." Now, I don't advertise at all, I simply take people up on the 100p offers when I'm not busy.

Honestly, there is alot of new content to experience, and the prices of new loot are still dropping. Which means you can earn more money camping things now than you will later, so to take time out to port people warrants a higher price.

Don't wanna pay my price, find another porter. But don't call it a tip, capitalism FTW.

Thanks for the econ101 lesson..... I wasn't exactly sure how supply and demand worked. I feel better knowing.

IMHO, if porter says:

/ooc WTS TPs all over world for 50 plat!
-its his right to ask how much he is asking, you don't like it, don't call on him. he is NOT suppose to provide you service.

However if porter says: Porting for Donations,
well them, dear porter, realize, that even 1 copper is still a donation [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

as far as charging more for one location than for others - back on LIVE when I was selling ports, I told the people upfront that porting to Cobalt Scars or Wakening Lands, I was asking for 4 times as much than any other place.
Why? Cause there are KOS mobs who like to hang around in close proximity to the port location, and I hate getting killed over a few plat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But to be honestly fair- no class in game should have a luxury of being able to teleport at their whim, and then use that as a source of income, when there are hungry warriors all around, who can't even afford bronze [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

We should strip druids of the ability to port to render them completely useless. I bet you will get a lot of followers for that campaign.
