This has to be a fake troll thread right? Nobody can be this much of an out of touch, idiotic prick can they?

You must play on a different server than I do because I meet said type of ridiculous persons fairly regularly. A lot of the time they have the same <Guild> after their name.

maybe in fact it's the people who feel like they're entitled to other people's time in a video game (because taking a BOAT is clearly beneath them) who are ridiculous

1p per level seems very expensive. Currently lvl 21 Ranger and have maybe 200-300 plat. So 10% of my gross for a single port? No TY.

I think most porters are happy with getting what you can comfortably afford. I'd rather get a little something, rather than a smile and a wave.

I thought 1pp per level was blue prices where plat was falling out of peoples pockets. I've been selling hand made backpacks for 15pp on teal and i know they sold for a heck of a lot more on blue.

Still whenever I /who all dial I rarely see anyone so I offer close to 15pp per port at lvl 24 to whoever is willing to take me but I also just tend to try and run instead of asking for ports.

Same. Taken more boat rides that I have ports so far in my 30 levels.

Farming 20 plat at dervs or some other camp would take you 10 minutes.

Running from the karanas to south ro is going to take longer.

This isn't hard.

Consider the following. If you bought 10 ports, you'd be broke, yeah. But whatever you're doing at level 21 should only require one or two ports (which wouldn't be available if some druid/wizard wasn't out looking for plat). As a low-level melee, you should bind in a friendly town with one or more good exp zones nearby. Log in, hoof it and grind, log out, repeat. No ports. Once you outgrow that area, pay for a single port and bind at a new home base. And yeah, maybe you'll pay 10% of your net worth. Once.

There's no need to port every play session. Take ports only when you must, and tip.

Also, I think a lot of people are conceding that 5 gold per level is the current standard on Green/Teal.
