Tip your Porter
I always port for donations, but lately it seems like I am getting swarmed by "Hey man, I need a freebie, I'm broke" Then some level 50+ with pimped out gear stands in front of me, not tipping...
Or a guy who actually claimed to be penniless, then after making understand the stupidity of his claim, he tells me to go "be noble in real life" Really not trying to R&F, but people please spread the word, time is money... If someone wants a free ride, take the boat, if not, determine how much plat you would pay to save your time running.... that is what you should tip. When not on my druid I tip a minimum of 30pp. The exception to this rule was when I first started out, even then, I tipped 4-5 pp .. whatever I could.... In the end, I am always wiling to help the less fortunate, if they are the less fortunate... don't be cheap, it makes you look like a DB [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I really have nothing to add to your post, I agree with you 100%. I just wanted to say that I love your signature picture lol. My friends and I were talking about that one the other day when we went out to our trunks before mission and there was alittle tiny owl sitting on one of them, looking just like the one on the right.

This is why I generally don't port lower levels. You want nostalgia, good you came here. Run from Surefall Glade to Kelethin like I did in 1999 and when I started here I did the same. I didn't get a port or anything like that.

Just charge up front if you're that hard up for plat.
Problem solved.

Don't be cheap ... if you got 100pp sitting on you... give 10-20pp to the guy that just saved you an hour run. Especially when you can recoup that 10-20pp after a kill or two at higher levels... Most importantly, don't tell someone you can't afford to give a tip of appreciation when you are all decked out in twink gear... it is insulting to the person you are asking a service from..... This isn't exactly college material, not sure how else to explain it for you :P

It isn't rocket science, it really is that simple, not sure how to explain it to you more clearly for you to be able to understand... if you want plat, just charge, if you don't want plat, don't charge. What you do NOT do is specifically NOT charge and then complain that people aren't paying you a fee which you didn't ask for in the first place. etc etc. It's common sense.

Attaching a flat fee excludes the less well off or those who might not be able to pay anything at that time (hello CRs). In these cases, players often show far more gratitude because you have done a selfless act, and that can be a good enough reward for most players. However, when it's clear that the person you are helping can afford to offer you something for your time, I find it pretty rude if they don't do so - 10pp can break the bank of a level 5, where 100pp would literally go unnoticed when you are swimming in fungis. And here's the part that will blow your mind: it isn't even about the plat. I refuse 90%+ of the donations I am offered for rezzing because first and foremost, I'm doing it to help. Donations are not payments - they are a show of gratitude, and if your gratitude isn't worth 0.01% of your wealth, I don't know what to say.
