Tipping for Ports: Apparently I've Been Doing It Wrong

I usually tell people that I won't do it for less than a certain amount of plat, and they get to decide if the price is worth it. Some pay more, some pay exactly, and some flip out and accuse me of greed. I play EQ to have fun and being able to port myself and friends/groupmates around is part of that fun. Working as a taxi like it's my job is NOT fun, so the port has to be worth my while - I have no plans to go zone-to-zone advertising teleports.

Mana regen is impossible to come by right now, but that's just one factor at play. The request for a teleport is basically saying "sacrifice some of your (the druid/wizard) time to save me a lot of my time". If saving you that time isn't worth double-digit platinum at the very least, then I don't think you need a port.

Not really as any counter to anything you've said but just talking really. I've seen through guild, on stream, talk in the wild lots of wizzies/druids talking about making "Mad Stacks" of cash from porting lol. Sounds to me like over the course of any given day they are payed plenty well for their time? @shrugs@

I'd love to make Mad Stacks of cash, whatever that is lol. I shoulda rolled a druid first as well like everybody else.
