Typical port donation amount?

One guy wanted me to port him out of Lguk (I was in my mid-40's at the time), which entailed dropping the group I was in, porting him to DL, then porting back to Sro and running back to Lguk. When I told him no, he proceeded to /ooc and /shout in the zone about how wrong it was for me not to drop everything to help him because it "wouldn't take more than a few hundred mana and a few minutes of my time". To this day I have no clue what his deal was.

My druid used to have a hotkey "/r sorry not for hire atm", don't get enough tells anymore to be much annoyed, so thank you dial a port for freeing up that hotkey [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When I do agree to port people, crap geared L25s obviously need that 10-20pp they offer way more than I do. So I appreciate the offer but nah, you can keep it.

If your epic 58 monk asks for an evac and then pleads poverty on arrival, well fuck you you sad greedy little bitch. You're why my druid almost never ports anybody over L35 or so unless they're a guildmate.

Of-topic: The fact that my druid is passing thru EC non-anon does not in any way imply that I want to buff your damn twink. Group with some newbs and teach 'em the game or go back to WoW or whatever, just quit pestering me.

1% of your total wealth but not to exceed 50p. for ports. 2% of your total wealth but not to exceed 100p for evacs.

This means if you have 200p to your name. Tip 2p.

If you have 2000p to your name. Tip 20p.

If you have 20000p to your name. Tip 50p.

To avoid any issues simply tell the person what the tip is going to be while your asking for the port. If the person isn't ok with what you are paying for what you need they can tell you no, or not complain about it since they knew what they were going to get before agreeing.

That's 20p - 50p more than what people pay for 96% rezzes....

The server is swimming with cleric epics now. I got mine in mid-2013 and even then people would only donate if they needed a rez and you had to travel to do it.

If you want to make plat, rezzing as a cleric will keep you on milk/muffins [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Aw man...clerics really are doomed to poverty...well, I guess that's what makes them clerics.

;_;

[Madbad]

You took a vow of poverty, now man up!

[Sorn]

NEVER!

I WANT TO BE THE POPE*

*not the new pope who has actually taken his vow of poverty seriously, I mean the old popes with all the bling.

Time = money/exp. If you didn't get that port, you'd have made a lot less EXP and plat at the place you're trying to get to. If you're higher level, you have no excuse to not already have a decent amount of plat, so if you're not paying at least 50 plat, you should feel bad. Go start riding the boats every time you want to get somewhere, then tell me how 50 plat is too much.

I never ask for anything for a rez, either do it or don't as my current activities permit. And you know, turns out that there're enough unasked tips that I really don't have any issues keeping my backpack of peridots full and paying for a port when I want one.

Too much greed IRL translates to too much greed in our escape fanatasies. It's actually not hard to get by if you don't stress out over every last perceived slight, if you don't get all worked up because you're gonna take a day or three longer to hit some goal or milestone. If you're feeling crabby, if you had a shitty day, just vent to your friends / guildies and get it over with so you can end your rant with a stupid self-depracatory joke and kick back and enjoy the elfsim. Just remember not to go pugging on a hybrid while you're in a shit mood, lest the idiot haters get your goat.

Speaking from a new player perspective.. this post has been very informative and I'm glad this was posted. I have been tipping around 6pp and one time I tipped a gem worth 19pp when I didn't have pp on me and needed to get out of FoB. At level 19 I see that I only have 75pp on me and that's being in Unrest from level 16. I'm now wondering how I can afford a 25-50pp port tip and really hope that's not expected of me or that I will get "blacklisted" to a friends list "do nor port this guy". I don't have a high level "main" to farm plat and hope those that can tip this much don't make a trend of what's expected of others.

As for buffs and furture rezes.. id never charge anyone for those. Look me up when i get to a rezing level if anyone needs those from me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
