25-50pp is really the average these days, depending on how enthusiastic the person being ported is about you saving them time.
I have gotten everywhere from 100pp and up tips to diamond jewelery to other neat items. I have also gotten stiffed but its not very often and not the end of the world, the big tips make up for it. Nubs usually ride for free and I am rarely asked to go out of my way. Nubs figure out that if you wait at the GFay spire you'll get a ride eventually.
The plat that trickles in over the time of the toon is substantial. Porting is not a huge money maker grind-wise. If you're in your 30s or 40s its worth porting for a while to buy some gear, but if you're high level its much better to kill mobs for drops. Thinking that people are trying some seriously lucrative plat scam by posting false numbers on the forums to raise prices serverwide is ludicrous.
