I remember lvling up my druid, and I was dead broke from the 100 spells I had to buy every 5 levels. A lot of people were saying how once I get ports I would make mad cash (1k + an hour ) by porting..... Now I just laugh at that. I never have charged for a port, and from newbies I cancel trade when they try to pay me their 1pp 5 gold tip. It's nice when you get that rich guy tipping 150+ once every 3 days or so, but if I averaged out each port (included the non charges) I'd make probably about 10pp a port. I used to port ALL the time, now I have no issues telling people I am not porting currently(unless it's the "hey can you spare a port for cr? ", those get me everytime). I get the same way though, I see a twink that has 300k + gear on him, and he tips 5pp, compared to a guy who is worth about 200 plat and tips 15.
Side topic, I have never charged for a rez on my cleric, and most times I refuse payment. I will even run a few zones over and rez people, or awhile back I was bound in unrest, and would pop in there once a day and check to see if anyone needed rezs(sometimes spending an hour rezzing). And then I try to get a rez for myself and the cleric messages back " well im 3 zones away..... so that is going to be 300pp ", when I know all they are doing is sitting in commons... Yea it's their right to charge, but still just rubs me the wrong way!
