Typical port donation amount?

[Rararboker]

I'm never /anon but I just tell everyone I'm not porting because, well, I'm not porting. At 60 it is a pretty poor way to make plat anyway. But I've had people get pissed at me before when I told them no.

One guy wanted me to port him out of Lguk (I was in my mid-40's at the time), which entailed dropping the group I was in, porting him to DL, then porting back to Sro and running back to Lguk. When I told him no, he proceeded to /ooc and /shout in the zone about how wrong it was for me not to drop everything to help him because it "wouldn't take more than a few hundred mana and a few minutes of my time". To this day I have no clue what his deal was.

My druid used to have a hotkey "/r sorry not for hire atm", don't get enough tells anymore to be much annoyed, so thank you dial a port for freeing up that hotkey [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When I do agree to port people, crap geared L25s obviously need that 10-20pp they offer way more than I do. So I appreciate the offer but nah, you can keep it.

If your epic 58 monk asks for an evac and then pleads poverty on arrival, well fuck you you sad greedy little bitch. You're why my druid almost never ports anybody over L35 or so unless they're a guildmate.

Of-topic: The fact that my druid is passing thru EC non-anon does not in any way imply that I want to buff your damn twink. Group with some newbs and teach 'em the game or go back to WoW or whatever, just quit pestering me.

1% of your total wealth but not to exceed 50p. for ports. 2% of your total wealth but not to exceed 100p for evacs.

This means if you have 200p to your name. Tip 2p.

If you have 2000p to your name. Tip 20p.

If you have 20000p to your name. Tip 50p.

To avoid any issues simply tell the person what the tip is going to be while your asking for the port. If the person isn't ok with what you are paying for what you need they can tell you no, or not complain about it since they knew what they were going to get before agreeing.

You took a vow of poverty, now man up!

[Sorn]

NEVER!

I WANT TO BE THE POPE*

*not the new pope who has actually taken his vow of poverty seriously, I mean the old popes with all the bling.

Time = money/exp. If you didn't get that port, you'd have made a lot less EXP and plat at the place you're trying to get to. If you're higher level, you have no excuse to not already have a decent amount of plat, so if you're not paying at least 50 plat, you should feel bad. Go start riding the boats every time you want to get somewhere, then tell me how 50 plat is too much.

Tip whatever its worth to you. So if you don't want to tip anything I guess that means the port isn't worth anything to you so why are you taking it?

Perhaps you had a really hard corpse recovery for you and a friend and you'll drop the 300pp you had on your body. Most of the time it won't be worth that much.

On the flip side, a lot of people are very cool and will help you on a corpse run for free if you are hanging out near a druid hotspot (Misty Thicket/Rivervale).

The bank in Rivervale is a good place to hang out when you need a CR port as often druids are coming in at the end of a job to do some banking and then are free to help you out. Whilst in town you can restock any supplies you want (food, bandages, invis pots, arrows and most importantly booze!) but also remember to dip into your bank so you can actually pay for your CR port.

When they see you drunk and naked they will probably refuse your money anyway!

A little late to this party but I usually tip about 20p. I'm still new-ish and every piece of plat is valuable to me so even that 20p can feel expensive a lot of the time.

If you guys are on a first char (sub level 40) don't sweat too much about your port donation amount, but don't feel slighted if you ask someone for a port and they're not willing to drop everything they're doing and port you for 6p. Someone else said this, but join a leveling guild, usually guildies port each other for free.

If you're established on this server and tipping 10p a port well...I think you're a jerk!
