Then they should charge or not complain, end of discussion.



Actually that's what you're doing except without taking into account common sense.

Here, let me fix this for you:
"Porting for 2 plat for each level you've gained"

Done.

If someone CHOOSES not to pay an OPTIONAL fee, they have done nothing wrong and you have zero right to complain.
The prosecution rests sir.


1) Porting for dontations

When you do something FOR a donation, you are implying a donation is required, thus removing the volunatry aspect of it. A fee is required but the specific amount of the fee is variable based on many factors.

2) Porting ! Donations accepted.

If you do something and advertise that donations are acepted but not required, this reinstates the voluntary aspect of the arangment and you get what you get if people feel they want to donate.

- When people use the word "FOR" infront of donations it changes the meaning, it implies the donation is consideration for the exhange of time/mana (the port).



What i do on my druid (or did rather, i dont play him much anymore) was advertise that i was porting (no comment on donations) People pay what they pay. I cancel trade for lowbies/CR etc... I think i have had like 3 ppl stiff me in 15 months. oh well !
