[Seaweedpimp]

Me "I dont see you"

If I'm not doing anything, I will run and rez people wherever (I made the mistake of running to HHK to rez one guildie corpse yesterday and ended up doing 7 free rezzes). But if I'm in an exp group at Lord in Lguk and someone is asking for a rez at live side zone in, I expect to be compensated for my time.

I feel like druids should be the same way, if you're sitting in EC drooling on your keyboard, why not give someone a ride for free? On the other hand, if you're in the middle of a quad kite in OOT, maybe some payment is in order.

Imo, the tipping hierarchy…

90% rez > port > clarity

I toss out sows and buffs if I have mana and I’m not afk, or if someone asks me when I’m running by. As far as ports go, I’m a little more lenient on the tip/donation factor when I’m advertising. If someone is contacting me to get a port though, I expect a fair amount (1 pp per level generally). It’s infuriating when someone asks you to come pick them up, drop them off, sow, lev, and then they toss me a retarded cleric buff or hand me copper and then take off. If someone is up front with me about their limited funds, I’m more inclined to port them.

So, for all the port seekers out there, find a guild druid, or ask me for a sow, but don't be standing there in 70k worth of twink gear and hand me 5pp after I just hustled to get your ass from point a to b to c.

This is why I have a hotkey that pretty much says /auc WTS ports to all druid rings. When I advertising that, I am doing it for one reason -->> To make as much plat as possible so I can afford all the overpriced items I need but can't get in on.

After a while you get used to which people (and guilds) are cheap. There's one guild in particular that either has a LOT of people, or they are always dying. So the CR ports are neverending. Usually I'll just do a check and see which of their druids or wizzies are on and direct them to those people within their guild just sitting around in EC.

Anyway, pretty sure people use the word donation instead of sell because they aren't selling the port at a fixed price.

Druids who charge mandatory fees for ports are shit. Druids who help all Norrathians travel freely are beacons of American light in this dark Muslim world.

Grounding a noob to fucking Toxxulia because he doesn't have 70pp for your time is a job for someone much browner than the good citizens of the Heartland of America.

I hate it when they do that. I'm no mooch, but porting a warrior to toxx because they don't have the amount of pp you want is worse than rude.

I've never expected nor have I accepted tip for ressing in my 4 years playing cleric.

Porting requires dropping group, leaving camp, zoning. Time = plat.
Ressing is just a damn spell cast.

Port prices:

Level 1-20: 5gp/level of your highest character

Level 21-40: 1pp/level of your highest character

Level 41-50: 2pp/level of your highest character

WTF? I'm still trying to figure out the whole IRS income tax thing being "voluntary".

Maybe all druids are undercover IRS agents.

Wizzies beg YOU to let them give you a port...
