"Porting for donations"...a little selfish?

[Furniture]

lol you are rediculous, you clearly have some entitlement issue, you only properly tip people if they word it so it sounds like they don't mind doing it for free, but if someone makes it known up front that they are expecting payment then you think its acceptable to rip them off like an ungrateful scumbag (and you use a childish sementics argument to justify it), and its even more rediculous that your semantics argument is wrong in the first place

No, if they make it known that there is a fee, I'll happily pay it. If they say that a donation is mandatory, thereby turning the donation into a fee, I'll give them 1cp for misrepresenting themselves and being a greedy bastard.

Right, because masking a mandatory fee as a "donation" is in no way being a scumbag.

People are not treating their advertisements like a paper they are writing for college. Could you be anymore of a homo?

I agree. This guy jingleson is the exact type of player you DONT want running around Norrath. People with a deceitful mindset like that are not good for a community.

Everybody who has played a porter has been stiffed by the portee. I was donated 100 gold pieces for a evac to EJ once. I didn't care about the donation but the guy was an epic'd shaman.

He tipped me an EVEN number of gold pieces. Gold pieces a fuckin side, how do you hold on to that last bit of gold pieces and only tip 100?

100 gold pieces for an evac is a joke. I have to stop what I'm doing to run all the way to KC and this greedy bastard tips me gold? And not even all of it? On that day I decided I'm not porting until the tip is in the trade window (retired porter btw and free guild ports always).

And that's my advice to every porter. Sit until they tip. Hell, I may only have 83pp on my character but I'll tip 50p for a port. Because that's just what you do. When a homeless guy comes to your car at red light and scrubs your windshield clean you don't just drive off. You give the man a tip and go on about your business. And not some "all your pennies in the cup holder" tip. You pull out your wallet and tip the guy for his services. It's just that simple.

No, you tell the guy to get a job and drive off.

Good thing you don't have your characters names in your signature like most people.

For doing the right thing?

Funny, a homeless man actually did walk up and clean my windshield while I was at a red light, two miles from work. I called the police and reported him for harrassment.
