That's an interesting take and the closest thing to an acceptable resolution that I've ever heard.

Well, it's certainly a less efficient use of time than just getting 60 and killing things that drop stuff worth actual money, I'll give you that.

I never actively ported people, because it seemed like too much brain rot to auction porting services, herdstray cats, and med to do it again. For, how do you say, not so many platinums. I've always said hill giants tip better. I did, however, opportunistically port people who seemed in a hurry or were offering acceptable payments. 100p here and there keeps the pocket change going.

Camping items is bad money, too. The time investment between getting the thing and selling the thing makes the baby Jesus cry, and god damn I hope someone prays for the lost souls who think camping King for 12+ hours is fun. The better alternative is to use and abuse raiding guilds. When you don't need platinum, you gain it passively while playing the game for fun and only spend on providing a living wage porting fare, I always did 75p, for the muck-racking peasants who think porting is a good way to make money.

The reason people don't tip on CR ports is because you all play female wood elf druids who worship the mother of all, and kids with boo-boos need a fucking hug sometimes.

Don't play the helper class if you're not compassionate enough to wanna... help people.

When I see you /oocing an actual price per port instead of begging for tips, you'll earn the right to start complaining.

I love when people bring out the calculators and decided to try and act like their time is actually worth an in-game currency.
