"Porting for donations"...a little selfish?

[Alanus]

I haven't logged in in about 3 months, but my rule has always been I never "port for donations", but if someone offers me something that is worth my time to go out of my way (and waste 300 mana), I will take it.

I usually am anon due to the amount of requests I get. If I am in Everfrost, I am not going to port to WC, port you to DL, then evac you to EJ unless you really make it worth my time and effort.

So do you call up PBS and bitch at them when they say you get a tote bag for a $50 DONATION? Or do you expect to send them 5 and get the tote bag anyway?

I only read about half this thread before it all started sounding the same.. so the OP has a problem with the way people advertise themselves by using the wrong words in their macro.. or people who charge for porting? or both?

Yes, I do. It'd be fine if they were siliciting a tote bagfor a $50 fee, but disguising it as a donation? No.

Jauna: I don't have a people charging with porting (I'm more than happy to pay for it), as long as they make it known that they are CHARGING for it, and not masking it as a "donation."

if you're level 58+ and you're not handing out 100-150p for a port/evac, you should just delete your accounts and stop playing Everquest.

Not all level 58s are rich. Even after 5 years on live, my main character (who only ever made it to level 60) never, ever had more than several hundred plat to his name at any given time.

Of course, I hardly ever used ports... but still.

You're probably the only person in the world who doesn't realize that they are not disguising it as a donation. It's a solicit, plus donation.

I also hate people who jump when they zone... I mean really, the fuck.

Still love the server, just pointing out what I think is fraudulent behavior.
