the policy on my main was that a donation was required. it didn't matter to me what the donation was, just something. if a newbie could give me 1 cp I was happier than when a max level thought he was above donating.

the bottom line is that, unless we are friends, guildmates, friends of friends, etc., then my time should be worth something. if nothing the donation is just a formal way of saying thank you in my opinion...the amount is irrelevant.

What was funny is that people would get mad at me when i would politely say before porting (usually after a several second wait of uncomfortable silence after we met up) "donation?"

I guess I can see why some folks would be offended, but a TL component costs something like 2pp (this was later on)...do you really expect me to pay for your TL? Maybe folks didn't understand that there was a component involved...

of course, if someone was on a CR I would always port them for free. Its an easy way to make a friend and you never know when you will need someone's help (its oddly quite frequent how often you bump into someone who can help you that you have done a favor for in the past...).

Or when they ask for a port, you can be a dick and say "I don't port people for less than X amount because i'm fucking awesome and my ports are best. So if you can't afford it, too bad scrub."

Then people can take their plat to someone more deserving... i mean less deserving.
Kid get the fuck out of my face, seriously.

I pay about 20 plat for a port on average, but if I were a druid/wizard, I'd be okay with 10 plat if the guy was low-leveled. Just saying.

oh sorry to be all up in your e-face, Mr. 10pp.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I apologize, I did not know you were so sensitive.

Disclaimer : I don't agree with racist bigotry
pictures like the above are tempting me to post a funny picture of the 9/11-towers with dieing americans and some funny text in it.

those prisoners died horrible deaths just because they have been jews, romas, sintis, homosexuals or handicaped people.

if you require a "donation" for a good/service it isnt a donation anymore, its a price
