Default Druids Porting Required/Donations

Exactly as the title reads. Do you find it appropriate for druids to port for required donations? I have never had a problem porting for near free or no donations at all but after a string of bad seeds pretty much spitting on me after porting it has put a sour taste in my mouth. No donations when your wearing a fungi is pretty foul imo, Or if your otw to EC to sell 40k worth of items, Don't get me wrong if your new here your gear will tell your story. Remember no druid HAS to port you but in one way or another majority do it to earn a little bit of pp towards gear. But hey maybe it is just me!

There are people who don't tip at restaurants, too.

God gets to all of them eventually.

Hey now, not all waitresses are worth tipping. I am also not judging this by their looks, i don't care if they're the hottest girl I have seen in a few days. If you act like a moron, and never come back to ask if we're good or need refills... You aren't getting tipped a fucking thing.

Here's hoping they're taking the time away from your table to fuck with your food.

when you offer ports and say donations aren't required this happens.
this is why i spam "PORTZ 4 PLATZ PST" etc. etc.
I don't want to waste my time unless im getting paid

Unless I'm brand new to a server, and someone is just offering to do it, I always tip. It's time out of your day after all, so in my opinion, absolutely appropriate to expect a tip out of someone who is obviously able or at the very least a thank you.

I haven't asked for plat for ports since about level 30 when I was new to it, and have always gotten tips from anyone who wasn't on a CR haha. I also don't /ooc it so when somebody privately contacts me it they tend to be generous about it, or let me know that they're broke and hope that its ok. I don't find that asking for plat up front as a druid is in bad taste (for that matter if portings your plat business having a flat rate might be easier and provide better grounds for communication) but more often than not like I said people have been courteous with me, even well mannered. With the amount of druids on the server at least at peak hours there will always be competition for the business [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] frankly I'm happy whenever a druid picks up where I don't in ooc but if someone sends me a tell and I'm not grouped or leveling I'll usually do the work for whatever they wanna donate.

Its a matter of preference really, for those droods who are on their first toon or need the plat for spells etc. that donation is a big deal until you're geared and banked a little.

there is a 2 year old thread you can dig up with about 300 pages in it discussing exactly same thing.
the conclusion is: everyone has his own standards [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.

Based on your character name, forum posting history, and general obsession with porting, I think you are playing the wrong video game.
