And since this is a trolling forum and I have nothing better to do at the moment, I'm going to extol my virtues and brag to people like BlackBellamy and say that I played a Wizard on the progression servers rather recently, and I was happy to do ports for all manner of tips, even for free, because I was just excited to have a somewhat unique ability that people wanted to utilize. The reward for doing something nice for someone is equally as rewarding as the generous payments I would sometimes receive. I preferred the former.

Druids and wizards are worthless and they should be grateful they can provide a free service to the rest of us load bearers

Arguably almost true.

What does a lvl 9 need ports for? Go explore, do an adventure learning zones you've never walked through before. There's content between druid rings believe me.

Can't speak for everyone, obviously, but some people prefer playing some of the Antonican races and then leveling in Faydwer, like Crushbone for example. I tend to leave Befallen or other places around levels 10-11 to go to Unrest.

Wish I could edit posts... but yeah, there's also Everfrost and Qeynos starts that people happily want to get out of for something a little more populated.

I chose the random option because it was more fun, rolled a 19, and got less than the 50 I would have had I taken the flat rate. 10/10, would do it again.
I will be doing this for now own. That’s awesome

I dunno, I mean, if they aren't stating a fixed price, you pay what you want to pay and you move on.

If I still played would definitelt have done the /random for ports. Love that.

I always tried to tip generously the whole time I was on the server if I asked for a poet. When I was dead broke I ran places. When I had plat I payed well for pickups because I valued their time. As enchanter brain buffs were an added bonus.

There are a ton of people on this server that are incredibly generous with their time and just happy to help. The rest are trying to make plat for their mains and are posting for plat. They should be compensated for their time.
