Make official price for tipping

[Baler]

Does that mean I could argue for a discount if they take forever to port me?

[GnomeCaptain]

1pp per level is absurd. 15-20pp for a port is fine and generous.

Also, my first char was a Wizard, I've ported tons.

[Vdaria]

I thought everyone paid 50p for a port at 50

[Coridan]

I tip 1p/level but almost never port except to skip a boat ride. People sitting in EC asking for ports to Lavastorm or Feerrott are dumb. Just grab a sow and run.

Tips are stupid. People should just charge a price. Unless they actually are okay with only taking tips. Like, if you're going to get mad that someone didn't tip or didn't tip you as much as you want then just ask for a price beforehand....

People are stupid. On blue, I once spent 45 minutes on a druid in EC /ooc'ing "porting for plat", not one taker. Dozens of people paid plat for ports out of EC during this time, but it apparently offended them all that I wasn't pretending like the other druids and wizards. My policy is port friends free most any time, port guildies when I feel like it (also free), and others almost never. Maintaining a cheapskate/freeloader list is too much effort.

My view on this is if you post your services for a tip your amount will vary depending on what the person wants to give. If you post your service with a set price then it will fix that. Its really up to the person providing the service to set the price they want.

Coming back to the game after 15 years or so, and frankly the prices for ports are insane.

When I ride a taxi, I don't get charged more because I am richer than someone else. Cab fares don't change depending on how much money I make.

If someone has to come get me for some urgent request in a far away zone, I can understand paying 1pp per level. If I'm right at the druid ring/wizard spire and looking for literally 1-2 minutes of someones time who also is hanging out at the same place, then I will give 2-4pp no matter how rich or poor I am.

Prices should reflect the service. You should not gouge someone just because they are higher level.

Generally agree with you but 2-4pp is absurdly low. That’s much lower than even what was paid back in the day on live and honestly a great way to get put on every porters ignore list
