How to get a port

[maegi]

I'm sick of seeing porting for donations. You are not a pastor in a church or running a charity to feed homeless kids. Say you want to be paid and how much instead of being a vague selfish little prick. Nuff said.

Not always, when I port for donations I pick up anywhere from 5g from a <20 player, to 60pp from a high level cleric, it's their decision how much to donate, the key is to actually simply accept how much they donate without complaint. Then the statement is correct.

Most people I rez end up paying somewhere around 30 or 40p, so expecting 50p for a port is a little ridiculous imo. If I need to go somewhere, I'll pay that much, but don't expect it as a normal payment.

I think we should talk about the people that want you to drag and rez their three corpses for 20p [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The word "Donation" vs "Payment"

Just curious- how much do yall think port prices go up when Kunark launches? It's been a while since I was on live but IIRC 100pp+ for a ride to DL spires wasn't uncommon

Payment limits a person to adhere to paying the amount you advertise. You won't get any service from people who can't afford this, so you're guaranteed this much. Donations allows you to be payed in excess of this (which druids / wizards like) but then also opens the possibility of someone giving you 5p.

If you ask for donations you forego the right to complain given that you'll probably make up the money from someone else overdonating... so in short. Stop your whinging. It's a bit of time and money.

If druids / wizards are making this much money porting for donations per hour, then me claritying them is going to have to start working out at the amount it increases their efficacy of ports per hour * donations.

So yah, if you ask for c in the future and you're porting people. You should pay the ench at least 300p. Since they're speeding up your ability to make money. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Saying that, i've never paid less than 50p for a port [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is like the prostitution fee schedule described in Freakanomics 2. Street prostitutes would charge a flat fee to black patrons, who usually had lower incomes and could pay less, but would leave the amount up to their white patrons. The whites would overpay on average. In terms of economics, they were price discriminating to the whites in order to extract more producer surplus. Sounds sexy, huh?

It was probably one of the most pivotal expansions for EQ of all time.
