I've gotten literally hundreds of Dial-A-Ports, and never ... not even a single time ... has even one porter responded to my tell with a price. Not once.

What are you on? DAP porters have NEVER told me how much they wanted for a port. I'm fairly sure you're completely wrong and that the opposite is true - it's in the DAP rules that they CAN'T demand or request compensation and can't even set a recommended price.

Tip what you feel comfortable parting with at that time. Gems are also acceptable.

50p pretty standard, but I dragged a druid all around for about an hour, finally culminating to a transfer and I gave the poor soul (was in rags) 5k.

Your level is irrelevant. Tip more than you think you should.
