Tanked a few Faydwers for unguilded druids on blue and they never donated even 30pp. Was funny really.

TIL both bardp99 and Tunabros are communists and expect druids and clerics to everything for them.

Shodud should level an enchanter to 60 to become filthy stinking rich instead of complaining about someone tipping with buffs.

If I have to log in, or zone a single time on your behalf against my will you're paying me.

Pay clerics for rezzes. Druids are whatever, because they're druid bots specifically for porting. But if you're eating 96%'s multiple zones away you need to be paying those clerics. That shit is wildly inconvenient for them, and saves you a huge amount of grinding.

Pay for your rezzes. ESPECIALLY if they're strangers.

Always tip the porter.. What do enchanter buffs do to somebody who is trying to make money through porting? Nobody is porting at such a rate they need more mana to keep up with clients..

But I will say that if the payment as buffs is made clear to the porter, then the porter needs to pay better attention to chat, and his customers

But seriously- Clarity for a port.. Ok maybe it pays for the mana consumed but it's not paying for the time. And lets be honest, it doesn't take all that much time to port somebody- BUT they are providing a service no matter the cost to them, and you need to pay them for it.

"Please dude please it'll only take a minute I really need a rez I'm right at X thing I got a port set up for you and everything please just log your cleric on real quick"

Peer pressure exists, and sometimes the path of less resistance is to just do the thing against what you want to do with your day.

It's pretty stupid.

Pretending to do things for "tips" and then getting raged out when someone doesn't compensate you is a losers game.

When I go to rez people, I do it for free, or I tell a guy I need X amount of money to make the effort if I don't really want to or I hate the guy or something.

The "tips" and then "butthurt" is a stupid system. Trying to have their cake and eat it to. They don't wanna say "40pp per port" because they don't want to miss out on the 200pp tips, but they still rage when someone doesn't tip much and try to flex on them, it is pretty despicable and low.

My druid on blue is only like level 20 and I don't have a green character.

The tone of these conversations is gross though. Can we please get a red 2.0? thanks

Basically if you don't name a price, you can't get mad when you don't get as much as you wanted. Choose to be cool and chill and work for tips, or just name a price and get paid in advanced like a normal business person. Trying to have it both ways clearly just gets you stressed out and loses friends, and makes dial a port look like a buncha fucking idiot losers.
