I was wondering about this today, it obviously depends on the portee's ability to pay but what is considered a reasonable donation for porting? I've only had one port so far for a corpse run so couldn't donate, but I'd give (as a rough rule of thumb) maybe 1pp per level.

Too much? Not enough? If I were a druid, I'd be narked if a level 50 handed over 5pp as a donation, I'd tell them to keep it since they were so hard up :-)

I get more angry when I'm trying to get a port, and I say porting for donations, but nobody sends me a tell. But then when I mention how much I'm donating I instantly get like 5 tells. I intended on paying that much in the first place...

I have had people above level 40 ask me to pick them up in zones and port them elsewhere and then been tipped 15 plat or less.

I never get angry or say anything but inside I am thinking "I just left my soloing spot in lguk to pick this dude up and port him and he gave me 15 plat."

Announcing the amount of the plat you are willing to pay will definitely speed things up. If you are ever donating 50pp+ I will almost always drop what I am doing and port unless I am grouped or have a named camp.

I need to save up for a Manastone somehow.

As a side note I could say the same thing about when I ask for resses. Say you are donating you rarely get a response saying you are paying 100pp and you will drag to them gets responses fast. I understand and don't have a problem with this.

Druids who charge mandatory fees for ports are shit. Druids who help all Norrathians travel freely are beacons of American light in this dark Muslim world.

Grounding a noob to fucking Toxxulia because he doesn't have 70pp for your time is a job for someone much browner than the good citizens of the Heartland of America.
