Under a bus.

That is all.

Fuck you tards that call it a tip or a donation. You ain't a waiter or a church. You want to sell a service? Fine, I got no beef with that if you call it what the fuck it is. I tip a waiter if he or she gives me good service and doesn't keep me waiting, this usually involves them taking my order, bringing me drinks and then food, possibly dessert, checking to make sure everything is good during the meal etc. A church passes around a collection plate (donations) for the church and the pastor's sermon, if you feel like you need to donate or it's worthwhile then you do. I've seen people compare ports to a taxi cab ride. The only thing similar is you're getting someone from point A to point B faster than walking. The cab drive takes time, he's working for a wage and tips and he usually is going to engage in conversation for the duration of the trip.

You, on the other hand, are memming a fucking spell and then casting it, which takes 300 mana and the time it takes you to Loading Please Wait.... which is under 30 seconds unless you're playing on an Emachine from 1998. You haven't done anything extraordinary or above and beyond like a waiter or a cab driver might do. You don't seserve a motherfucking tip or a donation. If however, you say hey, I'll port you for 15 pp up front without trying to look like a fucking maryr, then fine, if both parties agree yay you. Till you actually do something worthy of a tip or a donation. Shut the fuck up and QQ, thanks.

I really like the people who are offering ports but then say a 20p donation is required. If you are requiring a donation, it stops being a donation.

Yeah I don't mind paying for ports. If people charge for them. A tip is something given out of gratitude, demanding a 'tip' for porting someone isn't called a tip. It's called payment.
