MY time is worth plat. Seriously. If I want to go somewhere in Norrath, depending on where, it can take anywhere from 15mins running to around an hour or more to boat/run.
Now for people who have around 12 hours to play a night/day, I guess the time is worth very little. I tend to be online alot evenings, but only actually playing a couple three hours a night, so NOT having to run or boat is pretty valuable to me. If I spend an hour getting from EC to OT via running, rafting, then boating, thats around 1/3 of my available time, or more! I tip 25-30p most times, if ii have the cash and dude was on top of my request (i.e. I /ooc LF port to (xx), and i get a tell within 20 seconds) then I will tip 50. ATM I'm not high enough to be lookin for the more complicated ones, but IF I was looking for an evac or P/U, I would tip more.
Now, not everyone always has that much plat to spare, even in the 30's and 40's due to upgrading gear, spells, and I dont expect ppl to pay what anyone else does, but I know there are ALOT of ppl who tip 15g. or 5p. If even. I can understand this from a low lvl who is relatively new. But to the guys with manastones and 100's k in the bank, thats weak man. They ARE doing you a service, regardless of the cost to THEM. If MY time is worth plat....What is theirs worth ?
I really dont get why tipping for ports is such a big deal tbh if all druids QUIT porting, you guys would start foaming at the mouth heh.
