I don't really port for money most of the time, so, as some have discovered, I will turn down people paying 100pp or more if I'm doing something I don't want to interrupt.

I will reject anything less than 15pp but still port the player, as well as provide binds/buffs and occasionally escort them if they clearly have no idea what they're doing. Most will give either 30 or 50 pp total, although I've seen plenty of 60+ from raid-geared toons wanting to go to higher level places or people in a hurry.

I'm not anyone's favorite porter in particular since that's not what I do with my time, so I don't see the bigger numbers that career porters might. People will definitely pay more for their favorites. Depending on the person, it can get ridiculous (1kpp for a porter to drop everything and pick someone up, or so I've heard).

Anyway, the average is 30-50 for a regular port. More than that is usually considered a windfall.
