Not tipping on CR port - why?

[Canelek]

It'll be nice for a while on the new box. The availability of ports shrinks the world quite a bit. Plus newer players can get off their fat hobbit asses and walk for a bit, or take a ride on a (totally stable) boat.

Hi dad, what's going on, you still doing that woodworking?

Yeah, I made you an armoire, but I didn't have time to stain it because I've been repairing every car in the neighborhood. You staying for dinner? I'm going out for my run right now but when I get back it's my famous steak time! You know how I love to cook!

Ok dad, I'm just going to get on the internet for a bit while you're gone.

Advantage: Video games. Wont' slip with an X-acto knife and split your fingernail in half down the middle. Did that once. Not a good time.

Yeah, that reminds me when I ran a Stanley utility knife full force across the top of my thumb and forefinger when I was trying to lift my Jeep. Man offroading was an awesome hobby I think I died like twelve times.

Dial A Port have epics guys, remember that.

Its marketing.

In DaP the use of words like "tips" or "donations" are discouraged. Its a paid service. But the optics are bad if you force minimums or fee schedules on people. So by saying "corpse runs always free" you imply that normal non CR ports are NOT free. Its a nice way of saying, "your ass has money you aren't naked and dead, pay up".

But back on topic, it costs circa 900 mana to port to you, you to your destination and then for the porter to go back to where they were. Medding at 2 mana per second that represents almost 8 minutes of medding. Porting you is not a simple inconvenience of clicking a button. And for dedicated porters we are ignoring the time it takes to even get to the porting levels.

I'm not a dap stooge trying to increase my own worth. I'm an idiot who dies a lot, but attempts to compensate those who are inconcenienced by my mistake.

Why is there an expectation to bail out the mistakes of bad players?

If you left your wallet on your corpse get off the bus. Bind near bank (or somewhere where you can farm a couple of plat naked) and make some effort. Maybe if you bothered to make effort you wouldn't have died to begin with?

8 minutes for 50ish plat. How long does it take a druid of such level to kill a Hill Giant with the hopes it drops more than 300 copper.
