Port for donation logs?

[Tyrrion]

I'm a poor noob trying to make money smithing Banded armor. I don't port often, when I do its usually so I can move my shop from Gfay to EC if I'm not making sales for the day. In those siuations, I tip about 15-20pp as, while I can't afford more due to my profit margins, I understand the porter is supporting my business so they deserve what basically amounts to half my profits.

I never request donations or anything. Usually end up getting a nice tip (40-70pp). Best I ever got was 2 rubies for an evac to EJ. Other than when porting for CR, I think I got "stiffed" once.

I only port if I am bored or leaving the zone. Had people threaten me with various things if I was too busy exping to port them. For example, I used to exp in Dreadlands, and I would med inside Karnors when I was OOM (since it is safer than dreadlands). One guy asked for a port since "I was just sitting there". I said nope, sorry, I was medding. He said I was obviously lying and that he would never res me on his cleric.

You can make a good amount if you are porting from certain locations, though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've ported a ton of people and tips are hit or miss.
Sometimes i get 100p for a simple Gfay to EC port, other times i get 10p for a port to DL then a run to KC and an evac to ej.

All in all.. people get where they need to go and i come out with some money in my pocket.

I'm not flossed out with cash by anymeans, I think between my char and my bank I have maybe 500p total, as I am still in gear up mode after playing for about 2 month.

Guys who I message and drop everything to port me I generally pay in the 100-200 range. Standard port messages I see in ooc or nearby get 50-75 depending on where they going.

Ive had some bad experiences and some great experiences with some people. A 75pp tip from WC to DL seemed to upset the Wizard who ported me and asked that I never use his services again. While the occasional 50pp tip gets me all sorts of awesome thanks messages. I do gems when I'm out of plat.

I don't use Bhear for ports because he uses Luclin models. /wink

That's really quite a shame, since any donation of 50pp or greater allows customers exclusive access to my "High Rollers VIP" in flight snack menu, provided exclusively by Nomsanto Industries (TM).

Think about it...

whaaaat? fuck that guy. 75p for a port to DL is over the average imo!
Was he in dial a port?

[Vorkon]

Nah Me and my Dial-a-port Homies are good. I think I've only had one poor interaction with them over a ton of ports and it was more of a communication issue then donate issue. Dial-a-port dudes have been hooking me up with free cr ports and when I was low level ports for like 10-15pp. I wouldnt want to cross them, they unionize and its game over for the porting economy.

This was just some random jabroni.

[Nynian]

For those of us who just started, even 5pp is huge. I take the boat for now. =)

I would just like to say thank you Dial a Port without you and a couple friends I wouldn't have my Swiftwind right now.
