if you are going to bitch about how you got paid 10p for a port. Why don't you just make the pay before porting and if it's not up to your super porting standards, refuse to port them?

Or when they ask for a port, you can be a dick and say "I don't port people for less than X amount because i'm fucking awesome and my ports are best. So if you can't afford it, too bad scrub."

Then people can take their plat to someone more deserving... i mean less deserving.

Kid get the fuck out of my face, seriously.

pictures like the above are tempting me to post a funny picture of the 9/11-towers with dieing americans and some funny text in it.

those prisoners died horrible deaths just because they have been jews, romas, sintis, homosexuals or handicaped people.

After reading this post I spent some time porting, as well as rezzing just to experience this first hand. Let me just say, that we have some ridiculously cheap people on this server. I would say on average I recieved 10pp or below for ports and 20pp for rezzes. For reference, my average tip for a port is about 30-50, and for a rez 75-100 per rez.

Everytime someone asked me how much I charged I told them whatever you feel is fair reasonable for my time and your gain from my services. Apparently people feel that my time and their gain from my services are worth not all that much. One instance I recieved 12pp for two rezzes and me running to highkeep (20-30 minutes of my time). A number of times I was messaged without advertising that I was porting and recieved tips under 7pp. If you're going to bother me for services that I'm not actively advertising and then turn around and snub me with 4pp, that just isn't right in my book.

Don't get me wrong, some characters are lower level and don't have a lot of money, I understand that. But when a L40+ only gives you 15pp for crossing a number of zones to rez them - that is kind of shady in my book.

It wasn't all bad however - a number of people were extremely good tippers (which is something I definitely will remember mind you). While I didn't keep track of every poor tipper, I certainly will remember the good ones and will not hesistate to assist them in the future.

Few side notes - if you snub me hard (like 12pp for 2 rezzes, heals, buffs, and me running accross zones) and I say "No Problem", that is really just me being nice. I really do kind of care because you're effectively telling me that you don't value my time and services very highly. I'm not just being cool about it and want to keep talking to you or toss you a symbol or be your friend. It is a kind of a problem - but just not a big enough one for me to make an issue out of it. Just leave me alone and continue being a cheapskate.

Also "Can you do 'A' Rez" implies 1 (one) singular rez. If you ask me for "A" rez and say you'll give me 50pp and I show up and there are 9 corpses - I'm probably going to be slightly irk'd. Not just because it is going to require a lot more time, but also because often times there are people waiting behind you for services and if I tell them I need to hit one person and will head there way in a couple minutes, I'm making them wait.

Cliffs: Tipping poorly, much like in real life, implies that the person is providing a substandard services and that you do not value their time and effort - thus, people who simply ask for a tip are justified when they recieve a poor tip - because it is essentially the customer telling them that is the value of their product/service.

Getting paid 10pp for a port sucks, when your trying to earn some cash pre-50...

But it's understandable if the person you are porting is sub 20-30. If a lvl 50 is paying 10pp, then ya, there's reason to be angry i guess.

Just look at the level of the people you are porting, don't expect more than 10pp from a fresh level 20.

Oh, without a doubt - I more often than not turn down the tips from people below level 20 that aren't twinks

But yeah, this post was mostly inspired by some asshat with a Yak first, then RIGHT after that, the other person I mentioned before

I'm somewhat new to this server, Classic is rough for new players, the times I needed a port I paid out almost all of the platinum I had on my character (between 7 - 15pp) for a port. I paid this much because I thought it would be acceptable as if anyone had an issue they'd know I spent EVERYTHING I had for their help...

If you're gunna get pissy, then put a firm price on your ports.

Oh and choke on an aids infected cock
