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

Not all level 58s are rich. Even after 5 years on live, my main character (who only ever made it to level 60) never, ever had more than several hundred plat to his name at any given time.

Of course, I hardly ever used ports... but still.

Yes, I do. It'd be fine if they were siliciting a tote bagfor a $50 fee, but disguising it as a donation? No.

Jauna: I don't have a people charging with porting (I'm more than happy to pay for it), as long as they make it known that they are CHARGING for it, and not masking it as a "donation."

You're probably the only person in the world who doesn't realize that they are not disguising it as a donation. It's a solicit, plus donation.

I always give 35. I guess I'm a cheap asshole.

Also I really cannot imagine the OP is serious. If he has an actual character name, I definitely want to hear it.

If you have something people want, never give it for free.

If this is true, then you definitely are.

If you're above level 20 and you don't tip at least 30pp, I don't see any reason the druid/wiz should ever answer your whispers in the future.

And not tipping someone as much because they refuse to provide their service for free to people with the means to pay is silly.

all I ever did was log in and kill a raid dragon and sometimes run around like an idiot in random dungeons and I always made 500-1k in plat just goofing off.

Anyone around max level should be making enough to pay that much for ports.

It's not that I couldn't pay 100p per port. Especially as Loraen is firepot bound so I really only buy ports on Sakuragi, and relatively infrequently.

I suppose I don't understand why I should pay more for a port because I'm level 60. It's not like Bill Gates pays more for groceries.

Nobody understands the point I was trying to make. So why bother anymore?

You sound like an elitist jerk... lvl 58+ does not = tons of money. Time = tons of money in EQ. 100p+ for port is a lot for most of the people except morons who have no life so they spend all their time playing EQ selling epic MQs. You should delete yourself irl. finger

You just sound like an idiot.

Anyone who fucking plays EQ and has hit 58+ has spent tons of time playing EQ.

100p+ is not anywhere close to "a lot" for a port.
