why is why I'm always role/anon when playing my wizard or druid or cleric

I don't go out of my way to port or rez people

but if someone asks me personally like a guildie or a friend, I'll help them

but if it's something like 10 feet away at a zone entrance, yeah i got you

but don't expect me to run halfway across a zone and buff you fully

only to get like 20p in tip

That's what i do mostly on my Druid, go /anon but still people bothers you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you expect money for your services, you would be best served by naming your price outright. For Example

"Yes, I will pick you up in COM and even buff you. It will take me about 1hr of time to get there plus recover the mana lost, so I will do it for 500pp"

Expecting an unstated quantity of money for your services is stupid. If you're going out somewhere without determining the cost of that help (since you obviously want to be compensated) then you're going to get mad on a regular basis.

Don't be afraid of seeming stingy or petty or money grubbing by asking explicitly for a quantity of money. You may already be all of those things so why try to live a life like you care about some social rules about help? You want money for your time, so make that known and demand payment ahead of services rendered.

Easy fix.

On my character I run around and rez people willy nilly. Sometimes I am rewarded with friendship other times I am rewarded with a handsome endowment but I don't go into it expecting $ when I don't ask for it.

Good luck with your weird blue / green problems.

Have done this before, some people are funny thought, they get offended if you name your prices, because they feel like you're treating them as if they were not going to pay you, then they decline to port you, and pay 100p to the next porter next to you (Happened to me more times than you may think).

It's just a story for the lulz. I'm neither mad nor sad.

I didn't see any jokes. I would have ported him for free if I was a porter with an OT hammer.

But ya I'm just being dramatic about your post. I keep seeing people talk about teleportation "tips" like seriously just name a fucking price and stop being mad at your "customers" who are supposed to "donate" at a specific level. Put a price.

When you name your rates (1p/level) or 50 flat (if you're 50+) 90% of people gets offended, calls you greedy, go next porter, pay them 100p because they didn't feel forced/assaulted to pay lol
