Heh , you're the one that's confused, look at the title thread.
Your position is the one that is "waaah"ing about how things are, not mine.

I will never pay someone for something they are offering for free which is what you do. You ask for no pay, offer for free but then complain when people take you up on your offer, not sure what part of that is difficult for you to understand...

Okay NOW I'm out, oh and thanks for the free ports [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah, this is why I don't fuck around with people that feed me or fix me.

What's the EverQuest equivalent of "pubic surprise" ?

This is a double edged sword kind of issue. On the one hand I always pay well for my ports and rezzes, on the other though I hate the bullshit "ports for donation".

If you ask for a donation, it's instantly NOT a donation, because you asked for it. At that point it's some undefined value, and questionably optional.

Imo charge or don't. Don't let it be open ended if you need the cash for your "time".

No one likes a bum, but it's just as much of a douche move to sulk about something you didn't communicate effectively.

All I see here is somone who can't even understand what they wrote in the first place.... As you can see above I made it nice and bold for you..... "ports for donations" this doesn't mean free, this means I will take you ass some where for some plat... It is the basics of the game yo... Somone ports you, you tip.. 5 plat... 10 plat... 1000000 plat.... Just tip.. Really druids got better things to do then port port port... Like PL PL PL lol

That's exactly what it means.

Donation is the act by which the owner of a thing voluntarily transfers the title and possession of the same from himself to another person

VOLUNTARY: Willingly.
Done with one's consent.
Derived from one's choice.

A donation is by definition voluntary/optional, what you're thinking of is a fee.

And once again... You type before you think... Lets slow down and look at this when somone says PORTING FOR DONATIONS THAT MEANS give your plat and I will port you where you need to go... SO by saying this it means donate what you can for the mana I am wasting on you!... *cheer* no rage bro just say ..... and /exits thread... Shut up you not leaving this alone you be back

And Http://www.dictionary.com ftw for you?

This is a matter of personal integrity and class of the person being ported. Its definitely not an issue with the person doing the port but the person being ported.

If someone offers a port and you need one - its going to save you a lot of time. I'm at a loss as to how anyone can justify that, when able, tipping should not be expected of the person being ported. If that nice Wizard or Druid who just saved you a 20-40 minute run had not have ported you they could be using the mana and time they just burned to earn plat and/or experience.

Its just a plain dick move not to tip if you can (CRs/Lower Level people not withstanding).

I was reading a post from a fellow monk and yes, we get the short end when it comes to weight allowance. The only way around this is to buy stacks of gems or stockpile them from Seb/HS/Etc camping. Every porter I've met would be happy to receive a gem or two (Fire Emeralds or Sapphires are nice and stack). I always try to give to at least 2-3 gems if I don't have plat on me for a port. Or if you don't have that as a monk - get creative. I've traded 10 minutes of PLing in OT for a port before when I was out of gems. The porter was beyond happy -he got a a yellow and half in 10 minutes in exchange for a port. I bet that guy offers ports more often now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Porters - We all appreciate the hell out of you guys offering ports. Please continue to do so. Maybe its time to get a little pro-active and keep a personal list of people who you have ported, who you see with thousands of plat in gear and yet they stiffed you on a tip. Blacklist them personally and don't port them again might be the best solution.

Perhaps we could start a "I rezed/ported this guy and they were a dick and stiffed me on a tip" thread. One post from one person might not make much of an impression but if there are half a dozen posts about one guy from different porters who all say this person never tips and is a jerk about it - why that person might soon find it hard to find a port. They can then see how much fun they have spending a 1/5 or whatever it works out to of their play time running where they want to go.

Don't be douchebags. Tip your porters if you can.
