The problem with this idea is that druids and wizards are a dime a dozen on this server, and there are a huge numbers outside of DaP. This is another reason why people pay significantly less than 50pp for a port.
the majority of the blue population have more than enough than to pay "50p" for a port

I myself tip 100 if I can. If you are level 60 and you aren't tipping, you're fucking poor

and bad at the game

Hell, any level above 30 and you aren't tipping at 30p, you're just an asshole

Again it is pretty straight forward. Don't try to guilt or shame people into paying more than they want to for a port. Just ask a price, and let them eat dirt if they don't want to pay the price.

Complaining that your "charity" "donations" "tips" are not high enough, is invalid, since you chose to base your happiness on an unspecified sum that you feel is mandatory though never needs mentioning.

I am just theoryquesting I pay a million plat for a port when I want or need one. I agree that being stingey is rude, but getting upset when you don't name a price is stupid.

Porting for plat on the Sabbath is also a tsktsk move.

Waiters are paid a salary + tips and don't have an option to tell each table "you're gunna give me 30% tip or you can take a fucking hike.

Everquest druids can do whatever the fuck they want and they choose to complain about the size of the "donations" they receive.

in either case, I do personally believe in courtesy.

I just don't have much sympathy for a complaining port-for-plat guy who doesn't get as much as he wanted, when he doesn't specify how much is required not to make him irate.

I'm level 60 and I tip 20pp, not because I'm poor, but because that has been deemed an acceptable amount by the wizards and druids on this server.

If you're tipping 100pp when you could be tipping 20pp, then you are most likely poor and bad at the game. Do you understand how that works?

I mean on the one hand anyone is obviously welcome to take a deal of a buff only for a port. On the other, do you really want to nickel and dime people?

If a geared out level 60 tipped me 20pp I probably wouldn’t port them again lol
