Average Dial a port Price?

[pivo]

Green. My toons are lvl 29 or less. I don't use porting much. But when I do, I pay mostly 50 plat. Never less than 45. Few times porters canceled my tip. Twice guildie ported me. Free for guildie. No, I insisted on paying. Btw, I pay upfront, before porting. One Druid got 50 plat when I was lvl 25. That porter didn't give me SoW. I didn't asked but with my generous tip, I assumed it should be added automatically [You must be logged in to view images.

I also have lvl 29 Druid. So, I just got first porting spells. Did less than 10 porting so far. Haven't charged any porting yet, (canceled all tipping so far), but I will start charging now. Although, I'm mostly using my Druid to be delivery boy between my other toons [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On a second thought, question to all Druids, which zone would be best to park in, if I want to do only porting that day? Have only first porting spells, lvl 29

What a bunch of hideous old men in this thread. If you don't think it's reasonable that a level 20 tip 20pp, that's fine. But the alternative isn't yo shaft a DaPper, it's to not get a port. Ports are 100% a luxury. You don't have any reason below 50 to NEED a port.

1500 plat for porting 50 people seems like pretty good money to me, it doesn't require the time, effort, or attention needed to brute force farm that much plat by say killing guards for instance, or hill giants. It's almost akin to passively gaining plat just for being online.

Have always tipped extra to porters who add their own personal touch to an otherwise forgettable exchange, like the one druid who hands out complementary bags of caynar nuts on each flight. If a porter makes me come to them, from HH to ramp or FV to coast, they might receive heavier currency than plat, but more or less the same amount. Always tip well regardless (if for no other reason than because people remember and player faction is the most important/hardest to reverse) (but will choose one porter over another if they were more personable), even when human error comes into play, from a sleep-deprived or drunk player; it's somewhat amusing being left behind when the porter casts ring instead of circle or simply forgets to invite/accept invite to group. Also, being ported to the NK druid ring, dead on arrival as an evil race/class. It's definitely made the xp grind and pp farm sessions have more of a D&D feel. The deception checks that occur when players try to take advantage of free corpse-run ports by removing all of their gear beforehand: Fail and you're blacklisted for life. Attempting bribery to modify the DC of persuasion checks: During quakes, opening trade window with a porter, offering hundreds of plat on the condition that they leave your raid competitors behind, giving priority and the advantage to you and your guild members.

current top thread in both green and blue discussions is about port costs.

if someone helps you out with a port, rez etc. Just pony up some plat. You will figure out if it was enough next time you need help from that person.

Threads Closed. Moved to Resolved. Back to camp stealing or server politics.

Now that we are talking about rezzes, do not send tells if you're going to give them less than 100pp (more if you're asking them to cross several zones on top of a port) and pay for thier port. I am not running to Unrest to rez a level 14 who would regain their lost xp faster than rez fx would take to wear off, especially when all they're going to offer is 10pp in exchange for like 30 minutes running alone, plus finding a port etc.
