What's the going rate for ports?

[Thanakos]

Do you porters consider 6 peridots as an appropriate tip from a level 60 character?

Some will complain about it.

For those that are sarky after a decent cash value tip I like to carry a few pearl necklaces on me to 'boost' my donation.

People don't realize you aren't paying for mana. You are paying for the time saved from you not having to run through zones and hoping you don't have to wait on a boat to arrive.

Your also paying for someone else's time. By paying them to port you are economically incentivizing them to immediately stop playing the game and do something for you. Without that economical stimuli it will be significantly harder to find ports. Many people love that its so easy to get a port on this server and its likely if you are cheap you are making hard on the rest of us to find people to port. If everyone that was 60 paid a 60pp minimum you would never have trouble finding a port ever...being cheap screws everyone over. That port you think your saving money on will actually cost you a lot of time to search for ports in the future.

I don't know what you mean by this. I am all for paying/tipping someone decent who saves me the hassle of running through zones/waiting on a boat. I main a 59 Rogue and running to an experience camp on foot blows dog dick for quarters. I will gladly reimburse the person who made my run time pretty much non-existant. Not for the mana that the porter used, but for the TIME that the port saved me.

Its not a disagreement. I was just adding to the reason why people should tip that you gave. Which was very good.

I so totally love how almost all these replies always seem to get off topic. It's a riot to read through them while at work.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it

Yes, no new players allowed, only people that already know the unwritten rules


(I so hope you were being sarcastic)

When I'm getting ported on any of my lvl 50+ characters I always try to tip 100pp. Usually these ports are to get to A) A raid, where i have a chance to get some loot or whatever or B) a farming spot where I'm going to make that 100p back in like 10 minutes.

Personally i feel if you have more than 10k in the bank and can't shell out 100p to a dial a port you're cheap.
