Port for donation logs?

[Seltius]

I would just like to say thank you Dial a Port without you and a couple friends I wouldn't have my Swiftwind right now.

I avoid ports on my cleric, but last time I needed one, I could only tip 15pp due to having only 60 some odd plat in the bank. That char is only 21 though.

If you can't tip me 30p+, I cancel trade and port anyway. I learned a long time ago that porting people is bad money and mostly do it to help people out. A good tip is always appreciated though. What really pisses me off is when I tip decently and don't even get a thank you from my porter. Please pretend like you appreciate it if you take their money, porters. Basic customer service.

The rich don't get richer by giving their money away

40-50pp is about right

[Cecily]

That's low for a high end raider, but borderline acceptable.

I always view a port as money well spent. If A to B takes me 30-45 minutes on foot I make sure I make it worth at least close to 30-45 minutes of my time. There aren't many A to B routes that take this long unless crossing oot.

Amount I donate fluctuates depending on how much cash I have on hand and in the bank. If I'm sitting at more than 3k (I'm poor lol) I think the most I donated for a random port was 150p, average 50+ still if I'm stretched for cash.

If I'm in a weird place requesting a pickup and port to a random place I've donated as much as 200-300.

But I'm poor [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For ejacs I find it more productive to hammer to OT and run to KC and find a Druid etc who's in the process of doing ejacs. If I'm not having them escort me from wherever to DL and then to KC for ejac, I don't mind just paying them 50p for the evac alone.


Lower levels get dicey. If you're not a bankrolled twink, getting even 5-10p for a cheap port can strain your bank. These days I try to make sure my alts have at least enough cash for a respectable donation to a location or two I know I will be visiting in the early levels and then minimize the traveling I do.

people that are telling "horror stories" about someone w/ CoF etc. not tipping or giving a very low tip, do you inspect every person that you port? How did you know they had a CoF?

I inspect every person I port and determine the cost based at 10% of the value of all of their gear. Epic mq costs included. Payment up front, newbies who can't pay get a free port to toxx
