Porting is a privilege, not a right...

It's time spent away from grouping, getting $$$, etc. A service, that should be rewarded fairly with PP. With how much plat is circulating on this server, I do believe it is worth one's level's worth of PP.

They choose to port or not, clearly they still make good money without "tipping our level".

Actually they make good money because some people tip them very well, so take that for what it's worth. Some people tip 5pp, and some tip 100pp or even more.

It's always seemed crazy to me that most people will Tip more for a port than a rez. Most of the time people won't bother to tip at all, I understand maybe I was just running by and didn't have to go out of my way much, but at least throw some pp in the trade window to show you appreciated it, I will decline 90 percent of the time anyways, but a rez saves u alot more time than a port in experience I never understood why porting gets better tips than a 96 rez just because it's free with the epic?

I think the same people who tip big on ports will tip even bigger on a rez. Most people seem to agree a rez is worth more money than a port.

I generally tip between 25 and 30 plat, and have had them always come to a ring to pick me up, hit me with a SoW, and even had one offer to help with a transfer. I have a feeling they wouldn't port to a place just to pick me up if 25 plat wasn't good enough.

I tip 15pp to almost everyone I feel thats more than fair. On occasion a lucky porter might get a ruby or other gem, but 15pp is the price otherwise. Price goes up for certain things like traveling multiple zones ect, but I don't see greedy Druids/Wizards offering me discounted rates for having to pull for hours on end in every XP group.

But I forgot the DaP narrative that only Druids/wizards time is important... Maybe I should unionize the monks and we start charging an hourly rate for pulls.

I find it hard to believe that someone with a 60 would only tip 15 pp, what are you gonna spend the plat you save on? bandages? Then again I guess it makes sense as it seems most common for alts with 1000s of pp worth of equipment to tip the least.

People levelling legit or the first time always seem to appreciate ports more.

I tip 50pp a port. I feel that's fair. They save me anywhere from 15min-1hr in travel time which is easily worth the 50 to me.
I feel 100p minimum for a rez tip. That's if they just gotta stand and click or cast. If they have to travel or are inconvenienced beyond just casting the spell,200pp minimum.

50pp is also my standard

i usually try to keep some peridots on hand to tip clerics in case i dont have any cash. having to run to lguk and then sometimes drag corpses etc, definitely have to tip those clerics well

50pp is an extraordinary amount of money to pay for a port and I think you are foolish if you pay this much.

If I am on my necro I will twitch you to full mana, if I am on my bard I will sing for you, if I am on my monk...well you get 15pp and can thank me for my hundreds of hours of community service as designated pull slave.

People see porting as an easy way to accumulate wealth... they are not doing it for the good of the community, they are prostituting themselves out to the highest bidders in order to get rich while doing nothing/very little.

Im sure Tupakk is going to chime in - let me ask you this - how much money have you made porting in a day? I know people who say they have made 5k porting for an afternoon, so please stop the QQ session.

I find it polite to tell how much I can tip when I ask, and then give them the amount before we port. I will also share my level, since I try to tip something close to my level. I have never had a bad time when I can do that.
