Hope this helps.
How much time did you save by porting compared to running/boating? Did it save you 10 minutes? 30? Do you value your time? Tip taking the time you saved/recovered into consideration. That's what you're receiving. The mana spent by the porter is irrelevant.

The time saved by the recipient for ports/rezzes is why those services came to be a service valued enough to tip for to begin with.

Also hostile PNP players yelling at you for "stealing my giant".

Porting sounds better.

Agreed. And it's worth 20pp to me and to the average porter.

It still doesn't change the fact that you're a cheap fuck.

I always pay 50p or more for a port, but I never ask or expect that much when i'm porting on my wizard.
