Typical port donation amount?

[GeinHealy]

I accept any donation and say "thanks" no matter how small the donation. I always group, port, and then accept donation. However, if someone responds to my: "porting for donations!" and then just runs off or gives me: "no money on this toon, lol!" Then they're put on ignore. Not many are that stupid, but there's some.

I know who always donates 50pp, 100pp, or more and if I happen to hear them asking for port, I'll switch to my druid right away if I can.

If you're new 10-20 is fine...if you have a char 40+ 50p is typical...on red server i have no idea

If you've been here more than two months 10pp is a joke. 30pp minimum unless on cr.

Those that make a druid or wizard for the sole purpose of being a taxi service have their set rates, and or methods. I didn't make mine for that purpose and as such remain anonymous because of the endless barrage of tells I receive. Most of the tells are pretty simple, "Are you porting?". However, there are some people that are inconsiderate and demand you cater to them.
I have always given ports/buffs and assistance free and willing whenever asked(Time and Mana willing), in some cases without being asked, to those that are considerate. My point is that if you are concerned with donations then just announce up front your contribution and people will help if/when they want to. If not then you better learn the boats and maps, and remember how much time porting saves you.

I give 1pp for every level I am. So currently my Shaman main is 37 so I give 37 pp per port. I am not rich I quested all of my totemic armor and have about 300 pp atm after buying spells.

This isn't 1999 anymore... Ports don't take 3 solid minutes of loading. I load in 5-6 seconds MAX on an SSD. Tip whatever you can afford.

When I was a druid on live, IDGAF about tips. I wanted Clarity if anything.

I'm never /anon but I just tell everyone I'm not porting because, well, I'm not porting. At 60 it is a pretty poor way to make plat anyway. But I've had people get pissed at me before when I told them no.

One guy wanted me to port him out of Lguk (I was in my mid-40's at the time), which entailed dropping the group I was in, porting him to DL, then porting back to Sro and running back to Lguk. When I told him no, he proceeded to /ooc and /shout in the zone about how wrong it was for me not to drop everything to help him because it "wouldn't take more than a few hundred mana and a few minutes of my time". To this day I have no clue what his deal was.

You just lost my plat, Never using you. Instantly replaced by another druid who is happy to take 10pp. Shit i'll even pay him 30pp for a one way in spite of your attitude. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You have to remember that the only reason people use boats on this server is for nostalgia or to go to a specific boat zone. There is enough druids and wizards on even during low pop to port to every port location for almost any price. You're not special, Do not pass go, do not collect 200pp.

Lol please don't use me, I won't lose any sleep (or plat) over it.

Laughing my way to the bank as I type this

30p for an average port
50p if i ask someone to port to me at a spire/ring
75p for an evac

The above are what I give and what I usually receive. Always appreciate the guys who tip more though, feelsgoodman.

I use my friends list to remember the no tipping population - to include those chanters who think clarity is a tip. If you're on that list, you never get another port. 10-15p is fine. 50p makes me happy and extremely accomodative.

What's your in game name so I can charge you 50plat per C.
