Tip your Porter

[Grozmok]

Also, I almost always carry 50pp with me just for tipping ports, SoW and rezzers.

I assume the eye roll means you dont? well you should. Except i would add SoW never requires a tip. Just /bow.

Incorrect assumption.

The eye roll means I'm pointing out expected behavior.

Ok...why?

It's basically the same as a port, all they are is mana, granted the porting takes the time to port and come back but when you take into account that the porter, 90% of the time, meets the following anywa:

1. is bound in EC and can gate back. thus makes it a matter of 30 seconds to a minute of wasted time at max
2. Is sitting in EC offering the ports already and/or not doing anything but staring at auctions and thus isn't really doing anything with his/her time to be wasted

I must ask what makes a port qualify more for a donation than SoW?

I must quote you on this: don't be a stinge-ball

This is actually a good thread for a question I've been having for a long while. I just recently started playing and just dinged 34 last night. I'm not swimming in plat, that's for sure. I do tip every single time I get a port. However, I never know just how much I should tip per port. I typically tip around 10pp because that's what I can afford. So the question is:

What is considered a typical tip amount given the level of the person getting ported?

Well, according to all of these ballers in this thread, 500pp+ since "Druids can make more per hour killing sea furies in OOT."

My argument? It's a whole lot less work porting strangers around IMO.

Someone already said this, but what you need to do is carry Peridots. A stack of peridots is essentially 20 10p chips which weigh 0.1

Screw monk only, I'm going to start doing this. My TSK fat ass is already pushing it to the limit (LIMIT!) with plate armor. Fuck carrying around a bunch of coins.

Sow costs 40 mana and 4.5 seconds to cast. A port from the tunnel and back would take 450 mana and about 4-5 minutes of running and zoning. They are in no way the same.

You really shouldn't assume 90% of porters are bound in EC. Anyone with the ability to port should be bound directly at their grinding spot or some other obscure place. We can already port to WC.

Also, i like being in EC. I absolutely LOVE buffing nublings, and I don't find watching auctions to be a waste of time.

ITT: people have differing viewpoints and opinions

Don't be a dick.

It all depends on how much effort it'll take. If someone is sitting in OT grinding and they are willing to port, I know that they're probably bound in OT and can just gate back so i just throw em 50 - 100 pp. One time I was on my monk and I needed a port, but couldn't pay them so I asked them to run to EC so I could pay them on my mule, for that I paid a bit extra cause they had to run to EC.

For cleric rezzes, I pay more for the higher percentage and once again how hard it would be for the cleric to get there. 500 pp minimum for rezzes in OOT because I know what a pain in the ass it is to take the boat.

All I got from this thread is that a lot of people are really really dumb...

You expect plat from people but absolutely refuse to ask for it and become upset when no one pays you.
That's teenage-girl level of logic right there.

If you do it for free, that's commendable.
If you do it for free but expect payment, you aren't doing it for free in the first place and should charge a fee instead of crying when no one pays.
The.End.
