Porting Fare?

[Taiku]

I farmed seafuries a lot in my down time on p99 so I might have a bit more expendable plat than others, always tipped 100 plat or more because ports feel like a luxury, worth it to make porter friends who will come pick you up wherever if they remember me. :3

As a former porter, there's too many L50+ choosing "50-100pp" on here.

You'll find most people are 30-40, some even as low as 15-20 depending on the situation.

So you're saying you don't believe that there's 4 50+ people on server who tip over 50 plat? Yeah, you're probably right.

Edit: I never was good with greater than less than symbols.

Takes a LOT less effort time and mana than killing a hill giant imho.

But it's fun. And the hill giant tips 30-40p, same as you. I'd rather port the HG to hell.

Representative, I don't think the split is 50/50 (9 under 50 and 9 over 50) of the server as a whole... no way.

I've been stiffed by several HG's in a row but still kill them. If I get stiffed a couple times in a row by lvl 50+ non CR ports hot off hammer hill, I go back to porting HG's [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There's a lot of factors on determining what would be an 'appropriate' tip for a port, and it isn't really something you can put a set rate on. Basically (like Cecily is elluding to), if folks are tipping well enough, porters will be more disposed to sitting at rings waiting to port you, rather than camping some xp/pp somewhere else.

It's not so much the cost of mana for the port, but more the time sink in being there available to port you when you're in a hurry running down to SF ramp...

If you're above level 50 and you want a port, pay 100 plat or go fucking run.

I got 19 last week for an evac to EJ from droga... all in gold and silver, from a monk in one of the A's decked out BiS. No bullshit excuse, just 'thanks'.

That's the fast track to hitting a druid's ignore list folks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Plenty of this goes on. People don't want to part with more than 30 of their 1million tunnelquest tokens.

the majority of the server pop that request evacs have tipped very well in my experience, which is why these guys stick out like a sore thumb (and why a lot of those porting set a minimum of 100p for evacs).
