The misconception that you seem to have is that you're entitled to the services of other players. Let's face it: Porting for Plat vs. Porting for Donation messages isn't what's really bugging you here.

My advice? Take the boats and/or run from point A to point B enough times to realize that "donation" is usually worth it, no matter how the porter chooses to word it.

You both miss the point entirely. I've absolutely no objections to paying for services. What I'm addressing here is the wrong use of the term 'donation'. If you demand payment, call it payment - if you gladly perform your service for free, I greatly appreciate it and might donate some coins.

My next bit of advice?

Post a thread in RNF about how you demand every porter in the game conform to your standards of advertisement. Then make sure you let me know how you impacted the server after.

There's also the option of, ya know, advertising YOURSELF that you're seeking a free port. But then, I'm going to guess based off of the entitled attitude you display here, that you wouldn't get what you wanted fast enough that way.

If you spend this much time and effort into correcting people for incorrect verbiage, you must not have much time for anything else.

I like when I tell people I'll pay for a port. We land and I /split 100, giving them 50 play, say thanks and disband... Then they send me a tell going "wtf where's my moneys". Learn2read noobs. I don't have time to waste waiting on you to hit accept trade button.

mtgox got "hacked" for millions of dollars a couple months ago and is no longer functional. It was just another nail in the coffin for fake scammy internet currrency
