Yea, you're ridiculous. What porters should be charging for is not mana or the port or any of that stuff, but the their time + the time they save you. It isn't like the person logs on and off to only port you, they take time out of their day to sit around advertising their service, so each port isn't just 30 seconds, it is a few minutes finding someone who wants a port, a few minutes waiting for that person to get there, and then a few minutes medding back up. On top of the time they are investing, they're also saving you likely upwards of 30 minutes of travel time. At a minimum that should justify 50pp, porters accepting anything below 50pp is charity imo.
Ports are a convenience. The only reason they are the primary mode of long distance travel in this game is because we have so many people willing to sell their time porting the rest of us around. If you don't like the way they advertise their services, don't use them, but don't act like you're entitled to a single thing from any other player - because you aren't.
Calling someone who wants to be compensated for their time greedy is ridiculous, you are ridiculous, and you should feel bad about yourself.
