Say you're some 20-something dwarf poking around East Karana and you wanna go to North Ro or WC. What's a fair tip in these kinds of situations?

A good solid amount would be plat = to level. Level 60's could in theory bump to 100pp.
But what do I know?

If someone offers me less than 15pp i just decline the trade and port them for free. I assume they are poor and don't get resentful about it either. People should be nice mk.

25-30pp

Usually when I port, haven't been on in a while, If I saw anything less than 15pp in the trade window I'd cancel the tip and port that person for free. To me, anything less means the person I am porting needs the plat more than I do. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

25-30pp is pretty fair

also there's no such thing as "1pp per level" on this server

it just isn't widely accepted rule, except for a small minority of greedy <dial a port> druids

If you are a high end toon, and you are paying 25-30p, your porter thinks you are cheap bastard. You will still get your port, but everyone knows you probably tip poorly in real life too.

lol I think 25-30 plat even for a high level is pretty generous. I never really expect to see bigger tips then that though its nice when I do. I would say a lot of the players in the raiding guilds drop anywhere from 40 to 60 plat normally. At low levels 5 or 10 plat is really good for a tip, i'll often TP a low level for free, I know the struggles of poverty.

I have a flat rate tip of 8 Peridots. For those of you on Blue server, that's 80 pp.

If someone really saves my ass with a port they get 10 Peridots.

I'm kinda in the "6 carnelian, 3 amber, 4 ivory" camp myself. Keeps 'em guessing whether it's a fair deal or not.

25-30pp is like killing one High Elf guard. High levels tipping that much are not being generous. I tip 50pp at level 55, up to 70-100 if I had a good day farming. If I can't afford the 50pp I take a boat.
