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

If a druid is offering porting services, he/she is looking for platinum. If you require their time and mana and don't donate, you're even more "petty" than them asking for it in the first place.

Having said that (as a druid myself), CR's are always free and if you're a newbie just looking for a ride to other side of the world of course I'm willing to help you out as one player to another.

I can hardly believe someone would make this post, knowing that the outcome couldn't be good. I wouldn't be surprised if he requests a port to butcher block and ends up in tox by accident >.>

I arrived to play this morning, ran through the tunnels, took up position to offer ports. There is a druid there whose name I shall refrain from announcing. I generated my -- much shortened message -- to announce I'm offering ports. I don't ever mention money, most people are generous, which for me is nice. Some just say they are too poor. I don't push. Consider this though, I stand there for hours in that spot, sometimes without anyone coming along. Don't ask me why I do this -- we all enjoy different things. To me porting is part of the pleasure of playing.
Today, however, without warning, my tell window pops up and I find the aforementioned druid swearing at me! He asked me if I'm "****** for real". I wasn't even aware of this thread at that point. I asked him what his problem was and he logged.

Really, I'm astonished. Some people have too much time on their hands. Pay or don't pay. It's your choice -- that easy.

I often port folks for very little money and for free. Some tip me well. I do consider people who expect me to stand there for free whilst they level to be rude, though normally I would never say so. Some ports involve me hunting for bat wings to levitate people, they involve me running people through CT into Feerot. Sometimes I have to cross 3 zones to pickup a level one. When I'm busy with ports, I spend ages just looking at a loading screen. Some ports take 15-20 mins to sort out. Low level folks sometimes die, and I feel responsible and try to help. It's work!

Most folks really appreciate my efforts. Clearly some don't. Those who don't can take a hike as far as I'm concerned.

Sadly, high level jewbags like to take advantage of the system because they don't want to come off a few extra PPs

Your fake generosity is probably there to mask the fact that you are a racist jerk. It is also funny how you try to act like you make your pp goofing off in random dungeons while everybody knows you make it by selling epic mqs and cockblocked raid loot. #Fuckingmoron

Curb inflation by making a port bot/plat sink at the EC tunnel for 100pp/port, allow the druids/wizards to undercut the bot.

Discuss...

I've even seen a few cases where newbies have been turned down for buffs or ports after asking politely for one, and I get the feeling it was because the people they were asking knew that they were broke and likely wouldn't have money for a donation.

Sounds like that clown Petros.

My buddy Harrison is guilty of it.

See, I knew you were an idiot.

I sold one of the first Rogue epic MQs (the only epic MQ i've sold) and I've never asked for any of the raid loot to sell. Still was able to afford proper plat payments for ports.

You are just a cheapskate who doesn't think he should pay properly for time. Anyone who does ports often should come check this thread out and write down these losers and just ignore their cries for ports.

I think jingleson plays a druid and is just trollin to see who the people who are worthwhile to port are.
