If you're asking for "donations," that means that you will port for free, should a donation not be offered. To then turn up your nose at a donation, when that is what you asked for, is absurdly caddish. My name is Hasbinbad, and I support this RnF post.

Tough situation, because not many people will /shout or /ooc "Porting for plat, pay me and I'll take you where you need to go" Most people opt to go with the more polite "Porting for donations" and expect people to have the integrity to respect the fact that the porter is saving you probably atleast a half hour worth of your time (maybe more depending on the situation.)

I stopped accepting plat for ports once I hit lvl 60 because most times, people just don't respect the fact that you're taking time out of your play session to save them time in their's. When you don't expect anything in return to begin with, you'll be less disappointed in the end when you get jack shit from some little in-grate. I usually only charge TMO members for ports anyway (still rarely accept plat from anyone though) as kind of a running joke, hey gotta take some of that plat they get from all those dragon pixels they sell!

9pp is only dick if you're a high level and/or decked out in a Fungi and shit.

If you're poor, then that's pretty legit in my book.

Said he was broke dude. So I kinda figured this was gonna pop up...LOL was like if a druid is porting for just money betcha there's gonna b a RnF post. (said this to myself)

Sure shit man here it is, same dude and everything. Where's the guy who gave em spears? He didn't have any plat but he had selling stuff for 10pp each.

Druids words where WTF is this? Dude goes, they sell for like 10pp each. Druid, ok cool.
