What's the going rate for ports?

My main is a druid and I see a whole range of tips, today for instance I was tipped anywhere from 6pp to 50pp. On average I'd day people give between 15-25pp, but it fluctuates. In any case, don't sweat it too much. The most important thing is that you just say thanks or something. [You must be logged in to view images.

Wanna join. You seem like a down to earth guy/girl and we are always looking for cool headed ppl.

1pp/level, but anyone under level 20 on their first character should just give what they can...often it'll be free.

I always did 1pp/level and capped it at 50. If I didn't have the pp at the time I would let the porter know in my initial tell.

I pay 1pp per level with a minimum of 20 plat. For most of my guys it is in the 30s and 40s. Whenever I stop what I'm doing to help out somebody trying to get somewhere and they give me 5pp I feel like I shouldn't help the next guy. Newbies are fine though and I'll help a naked character out. Translocates are making this less of a problem even if it is taking several minutes of mana recovery time.

I could gate to CT, run through Feerott, kill a HG and get 7 ports worth of tips off one mana bar.

I just take it and say thank you. At least I'm not their waiter.

New players obviously get leeway. A level 30 sk with a noct blade can pay!

Thanks for the info, all.

I do like p99 for the number of folks offering ports all around; it's MUCH easier to get around than I remember on live!

Don't say this is another post. You'll get skinned alive. =) I learned my lesson. The lesson was - Rich ppl need more loot than poor people because they do more work in a group than untwinkeds.

Not once in that argument did I say the rich did more than the poor in a group. I would say reread it for proof, but it's clear you didn't read it in the first place, otherwise you'd know that. So read it. The argument was against shaming someone for wanting to roll on something because of what they were wearing. The argument was for equal share in loot in a group where everyone has an equal hand in making loot drop. Quite the opposite of what you say here.

To the OP, pay what you think is fair for you to pay. Whether you get the port or not from any particular porter will work itself out.
