Peer pressure exists, and sometimes the path of less resistance is to just do the thing against what you want to do with your day.

Trying to have it both ways clearly just gets you stressed out and loses friends, and makes dial a port look like a buncha fucking idiot losers.

Nothing wrong with offering buffs for a port, so long as you do so up front.

The amount of times i've had people take a TL without paying, lol. Oh well, shit happens, it all balances out in the end because most people on the server are pretty generous with their tips.

I have to admit I didn't read the whole thread.

What I was trying to say is that having a "service" for "tips" means you need to take the "bad tips" with the "good tips" and not be a complainy weirdo.

The other option is to have a "service" for "a fee" which means you state a price and get paid in advance, and everyone is happy with nothing to whine about.

Because I made Gustoo as a helpful character, I usually will rez people for free if I am just farting around in the game (that was not dead yet) or accept money for the longer trickier work. But I never went into a job expecting a "tip" for an unspecified amount of money while gearing up my angst to be dumped on the "bad tipper" because that would be stupid.

Ya new red would be nice, you're right on that point.

But seriously- Clarity for a port.. Ok maybe it pays for the mana consumed but it's not paying for the time. And lets be honest, it doesn't take all that much time to port somebody- BUT they are providing a service no matter the cost to them, and you need to pay them for it.
