If I'm inclined to port, 10pp is enough, provided there's nothing special going on. More is certainly nice but if I'm not inclined to port, I don't care how much you're offering and it becomes insulting when people push after I say I'm not available (this is thankfully rare).
I would say that rather than worry over whether the amount you intend to pay is enough, let the porter know ahead of time how much you're offering and let them decide if it's enough. If you're poor, learn to get around on your own (boats, running, firepot room). Teleporting is a luxury. | ||

Unless there are mitigating circumstances tip your level in ports, add 100 for annoying pickups and evacs.
On red you shouldn't expect to make it where you want to go unless the porter is in your guild, and who accepts a tip from a guildie?

I gave 25p on my 25 ranger and the person said, "wow! Thanks for the generous tip!" In the same night, I asked for a port from ec to gfay on my untwinked level 7 rogue, and a guy private messaged, "I'll port you for 35p." I didn't even respond to him.
I would pay more if someone actually had to come get me, but I tend to just go to rings or the EC tunnel. I don't want people to have to go out of their way, and I expect not to get gouged in the process. | ||

25-50pp is really the average these days, depending on how enthusiastic the person being ported is about you saving them time.
I have gotten everywhere from 100pp and up tips to diamond jewelery to other neat items. I have also gotten stiffed but its not very often and not the end of the world, the big tips make up for it. Nubs usually ride for free and I am rarely asked to go out of my way. Nubs figure out that if you wait at the GFay spire you'll get a ride eventually. The plat that trickles in over the time of the toon is substantial. Porting is not a huge money maker grind-wise. If you're in your 30s or 40s its worth porting for a while to buy some gear, but if you're high level its much better to kill mobs for drops. Thinking that people are trying some seriously lucrative plat scam by posting false numbers on the forums to raise prices serverwide is ludicrous. | ||

Your level in plat, cap at 50. But really just pay what you can and if the porter is upset it's their fault for not specifying a price first.

I'd say 25-30p average for regular joe, 50-75 for a complicated port.
Nobodies and corpse runs usually go for free by our nice ports men and women, cause we all know the feeling. | ||

I never set a price or expect anything when I am porting. If someone in rags offers me 5p or something ill just deny it and usually give some or a piece of a gear if I have something on me for them..
We are a community, in a video game..if there was ever an example of you cannot take it with you when you leave..this is it. The members of Dial A Port follow are certain set of guidelines, setting prices or expecting massive payment for ports is not one of them. That is on the individual, try not to judge the bushel by one bad apple if you run into one. On the same token, be fair...if you can help your druid out who took time away from what they were doing otherwise to save you some time, do it. Just be cordial, enjoy the game together..and for the love of tunare can these posts stop! ...lol | ||
