Free anything in this game should be considered a privilege.
I remember my Dad, when he ran his druid on Tunare, eventually just started ignoring people asking for SoW, unless they gave him money. Even if it was just a few pieces of silver.
I don't think SoW should ever be treated as though ''free'' should be the standard. It's cool when the mage has free time to summon you up some levitation rings or whatever those things were, or some bandages. It's cool when the Druid or Shaman slaps some wolf on ya for your CR. It is not cool to go up to a Druid, Shaman, Mage, Enchanter, or any class and just start demanding stuff. A lot of people should also keep in mind it's a little harder to convey tone and emotion over the intarwebz, and one should choose their words carefully. There's been many times where I've asked something of someone and came on as a complete asshole to them, either because of my wording or they just had a bad day, when I had no real intention of doing so.
Ports are a different story though... i want mah dredlands portz fo' free.
