Aftermath: tip your porter

[Phatez]

Backfire thread written by a guild harboring ninja looters.

I'm in AM and tip 50p every time unless they make me wait longer than 10 minutes, then it's 40-45 but never lower. I'm not rollin in the no-pants $$$ like DMX so won't be tipping 80p =P

10 minutes?? no one would blame you for stiffing after that long.

it's not uncommon. Seems DaP has fewer and fewer people porting and I play odd hours, so the wait can be awhile.

Only been stiffed a handful for times, although I cant really remember names or guilds simply because I have enough plat that its not worth my time to really care about it

That said raid guild members in my experience are on average better tippers -- some of them have been around for a long time and seem to have more plat than they know what to do with

have you noticed any pattern or correlation to this and wearing your costume?

When do you have time to port people? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You spend most of your waking hours boxing alts in Wakening Lands. Oh, right... your "boyfriend" runs to the vacant computer when a GM shows up.

Nah it's more like some keep their tag up even when OOM and let their list backup. Had this happen a few times and told them they should go /anon to get mana before taking up more tells. One of them told me they didn't really care.

Ah ya hadn't thought of that but it makes sense. could be worthwhile to put my druid in DaP for awhile, just to see how it feels on the other side [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Alot of them don't drop tag while they are on a job, and instead create a backlog of jobs, making clients wait in a queue (when the client would otherwise be able to find a different, more immediate porter instead).

The worst is when they claim they are 'on their way' but you can see on /who all they are taking a very indirect route.
