Exactly this.

Attaching a flat fee excludes the less well off or those who might not be able to pay anything at that time (hello CRs). In these cases, players often show far more gratitude because you have done a selfless act, and that can be a good enough reward for most players.

However, when it's clear that the person you are helping can afford to offer you something for your time, I find it pretty rude if they don't do so - 10pp can break the bank of a level 5, where 100pp would literally go unnoticed when you are swimming in fungis.

And here's the part that will blow your mind: it isn't even about the plat. I refuse 90%+ of the donations I am offered for rezzing because first and foremost, I'm doing it to help. Donations are not payments - they are a show of gratitude, and if your gratitude isn't worth 0.01% of your wealth, I don't know what to say.
