Dont you play on another server now? Maybe they have some boards you can troll.
500pp is absurd except for a rezz in a highly difficult area. Most casual player's can not afford that without screwing their bank over.

500pp is probably way over market price unless the cleric has to travel a long distance, but not tipping the cleric at all because "all he's doing is clicking epic" ignores all that cleric's overhead.

If the cleric does not have to move anywhere (meaning you or your friend/groupmate drag your body to him) I would advise the one pp per level schedule of payments. If the cleric is in your exp group or on a raid with you, he is obligated to provide the service for free.

100pp is usually pretty common, however I've received a lot of donations ranging from 20gold to 50pp also... This is why I'll more often than not require the requestor to arrange the ports. If the requestor can't be bothered to arrange for the port, then their xp isn't really worth that much to them.

Get over yourself. You should be investing your time in this game for pleasure, not to be gaining an advantage that will net you precious platz later down the road. I've ran to people for buffs and done countless CRs and would never imagine asking or expecting a tip. Your satisfaction should lie in helping a fellow Norrathian, fucking nerd

The immersion is too deep when you start comparing Project99 to running a profitable business, and are completely serious....

The cleric isn't finishing the epic for my benefit, though. The epic is a direct bonus to their character that they'll need to acquire either way. That's like saying you should tip your Uber huge because they bought themselves a nice car and now drive for the service.

Tipping clerics is fine, but if the cleric doesn't have to take a single step to do it, or inconvenience themselves at all - demanding 100p+ makes you an asshole.

I have an epic 60 cleric sitting in MM that I often Rez/buff lowbies with. My tag line even says donations refused. I earned my epic for me -- not to gouge some guy who's already having a bad day with.
