Peridots for Ports

[Wfrench1234]

Just a general question I’d like some opinions on. I’m a monk and I prefer to carry gems on me instead of coin to keep weight down. When I get a port from someone typically I will pay in peridots. So my question is : is this a common thing and does it annoy you when someone does this? I’ve never had anyone complain about it but I don’t know if people are just keeping it to themselves and deep down they are pissed.

Just to give complete info I’m level 60 and typically give 4-5 dots for each port.
