The time saved by the recipient for ports/rezzes is why those services came to be a service valued enough to tip for to begin with.
Also hostile PNP players yelling at you for "stealing my giant".

Porting sounds better.

Agreed. And it's worth 20pp to me and to the average porter.

It still doesn't change the fact that you're a cheap fuck.

It's so strange that being "cheap" is considered an insult. I look at people IRL that spend beyond their means on things like cars, takeout food, high end phones, and I can't help feel pity. Is the smug self-satisfaction of giving waiters 40% tips worth not having a nest egg for when you're too old to work? I don't get it.

And yes, we're talking about a game here, but the same general principle applies.

If me tipping the minimum acceptable amount for ports makes me cheap in your eyes, then so be it. I don't really respect people that make poor financial decisions, and it's hard to feel insulted by someone you don't respect.
