    If their name calling gets to you then they've gotten what they wanted. Just be the bigger guy and walk away knowing he won't be getting that portal acting like a jerk.
    ^^^ But if all else fails a portal to Stonard followed by adding them to my ignore list works well.

    Never been name-called over making portals. I generally just ignore all requests for portals. I don't mean the /ignore function, I mean I just don't respond and/or act like I'm AFK.

    Offtopic: Back in my old guild on the days when we had multiple mages in the raid, we'd all whisper each other near the end and set up portal roulette. This was way more fun than just watching one guy cast a bunch of portals. We'd all stack up on each other, make sure we were facing the same direction, and simultaneously cast different portals. Good times.

    If someone asks me for a portal in a nice polite way then i will just make the portal, and most of the time they want to tip me, i dont ask. If ifs a scumbag saying: make port dal naow! i ignore them most of the time or ask 15/20g. fuck 'em tbh

    Since I am usually in Undercity, which means I often only Mage there i charge 20g for a Dala port. Pay up or walk, usually fixes it all.

    I think mages should get Portal: random spot in the middle of badlands and a minor glyph that makes all portals appear as Portal: Dalaran to anyone but you.....mwhahahahahahaha

    IF group was not so good and kinda nice- i make a portal
    IF group was not so good and bitchy- i say that im out of mats, then i leave group, make myself a portal and yell 'Goodbye, MOTHERFUCKERS!'
    IF group was bad- i just say no
    IF group was good, but some ppl were bad- I wait till the bad ones leave then make portal

    Back when there wasn't dungeon finder i never did portals, waste of mats. Also one time i haven't dpsed cause one guy said that 'your a fucking mage so do the food it's your role'. I simply made food and then said i won't dps, as im a fucking mage and i do food cause it's my role- he left.

    I always take the gold douchebags give me for a port, and (usually) they ask for dal. So I just prot them to darn and say "Oh sorry, didn't see the difference mixed up in the pixelized fail you call english." Don't even ignore them, just lol at their failed attempts to get back at you.

    If someone is demanding or rude, I just port them to Stonard. But otherwise I'm fairly leniant, even if someone spells not one word correctly or uses 6 abbreviations a sentence I'll still port them to their desired destination if they say some variation of 'Please'. Remember, especially on European realms there are people who know little English and don't have a server which supports their language.

    Wait wait wait - what? You're saying that you make portals for groups now, in the day and age of the Dungeon Finder, but you didn't back when it wasn't around? That seems completely backwards. I think it's a waste now, seeing as you're teleported back to where you queued up when you finish the dungeon.
    Aside from that, who even wants a portal after a dungeon? Everyone leaves immediately. Anyone who asks for a portal is just odd.

    [DK]: hi can u make port 2 dal pls pay 10g
    [Me]: I will gladly make you a portal, but only if you're polite, use proper wording, spelling, grammar and punctuation.
    [DK]: ???
    [Me]: Just don't use abbreviations for every single word, start a sentence with a capital letter and a comma wouldn't hurt every now and then.
    [DK]: sry dont know what u mean
    [Me]: Uh, ok. I'll put it this way then. Say "Hello, sorry to bother you. Could you make me a portal to Dalaran for 10 gold, please?"
    [DK]: k
    [DK]: hello sry 2 bother u, could u make portal 2 dala for 10g pls?
    [Me]: Oh, give me a break already. Find another mage.

    I thought I was polite to him, while teaching him how things work, and how you treat other people in a respectable way. That is what I get back. I suppose there are still people breaking the 12+ age requirement.
    Umm sir... I would like to politely tell you, that you are in fact a giant ass. What is the point of having a conversation with someone using abbreviations in a GAME. I understand ignoring someone casue he/she didn't even say hello and please (i.e. "hey maeg, gief dala portal") but seriously... What are you? Japan?
    I really am all for politeness and good manners... but don't be so anal about it. Happened many times on my alts when I had to ask for a portal really fast, and I happen to use abbreviations as well.
    Tho most of the mages are douchebags who pretend to be afk NOT to help ppl...

    Send them to STONARD - Amazing place <3

    Although sometimes people aren't happy paying 10g for a port. For noobies (if they have full white/green gear) I'll often send them for free. If they're alts (obvious BoA gear) they still have to pay the price.

    I had one hunter ask for a port, tell me they couldn't pay (but were in full BoA's). They said their main was alliance, so I (rp'ed of course, not being mean never) called them "Ally Scum" and then they told me how sad and pathetic I was, a supposed no life loser.

    How can they tell just from that? :P

    You people are evil.

    I've fallen to the Stonard trick too many times without deserving it =/ (besides for my own stupidity I guess).

    Would love to have this. I'd actually laugh if I took Portal: Dalaran and it landed me in the Badlands.

    "If you say pls, because it's shorter than please, I'll say no, because it's shorter than yes."

    It doesn't cost that much effort to type a full sentence and the chance of getting a portal will be increased.
    It's the internet. You never know if people are either sarcastic or just bad.

    Open a portal to Stonard, Org, UC, and TB all ontop of each other and see if they get lucky =P
