"Porting for donations"...a little selfish?

I'm late to this party, but I think someone else already said what was on my mind.

If someone is Porting to earn some plat, it means they're directly comparing the money they make vs time spent against what they could be earning from a cash farm - even stuff like Bronze weapon or better.

When the person playing encounters a slew of cheap people not appreciative of the time saved with the Ports, it's pretty likely they'll say "F this" and ignore Port requests that don't match payment of what they could be earning. Or at least that's what I'd see myself end up doing after a while.

Well, i dont either of you are right here. If the hobo gets 50cents from every car he will have his 40bucks to get a bag of smack or crack in two bours. So the change section is plenty fair.

But that dont matter, jingleson has been embarassed nearly each response

Damnit susvain I gotta go to sleep.

It's not about the homeless guy's income. It's about what your tipping.

Druids make a pretty good bit porting people around all day but you don't really think about the 5k they've made in ports before you tip them 50p. A service is a service is a service. Good night.

Maybe. Goodnight

If I ever don't have at least 100pp for a port, I make sure it's alright first or make up the difference with peridots or whatever. People could avoid a lot of dumb bullshit if they'd just state their intentions before the service is rendered.

I always thought using the word "donation" when offering ports was stupid because because 95% of people mean "payment required unless you're a deadbeat." I think the term caught on because it's less greedy-sounding than "porting for plat."

if you're level 58+ and you're not handing out 100-150p for a port/evac, you should just delete your accounts and stop playing Everquest.

in answer to the original thread title: yes. a little.

you shall soon find, gear here is at top dollar. people need plat. done.

30p is enough once you get above 40. under that, fuck the bastard if they complain at a 4p tip. Yer a newb, yer broke, yes, they exist.

Afterward they were like so you're not going to pay? They then told me they were tired of griefers and said they would ignore me on all characters they have created even after I said this is a new character will little funds and I'd donate what I could if they meet me outside the druid rings.

Kinda rubbed me the wrong way for sure.

Learn how to use /split
