I ID close friends for free, old customers that arejust aboutfriends for a discount and I'll occasionally do something little for free (like if they are just coming in for a haircut). I actually haven't had any friends or acquaintances ask for a stat migration yet. I'd prob do about the same if I had the time to fly to Bestine, free for close friends, discount for others

My ID character de-guilded from the PA she belonged to for very similar reasons and this was before the ID revamp. I finally concluded that "friends" that don't treat you like a friend aren't your friend.
Yeah... I'm slowly coming to this conclusion myself. The only problem is, I don't know where I'd go if I left my city. *shrug*

My friends don't sass me. That's why they're my friends.
I was just wondering... has anyone else encountered this? How do you handle dispensing services forfriends, guildmates, fellow citizens? I absolutely cannot STAND it when someone demands my services - this is the biggest reason I dropped doctor. Was constantly getting "I demand you come here and buff me!" Drove me up the wall. I'd like to hear how others deal with this.

I dunno, I must be strange, but I across the board give friends, neighbors, and guildmates free ID services. Reason being is I am also a master tailor, and they are always giving me hides, fiberplast, special components for absolutely free. Why shouldn't I give something back?
I guess I just surround myself with awesome people, because no one demands I give them anything. Infact, many of them try to tip me, and I have to argue with them not to.
However, I do not hesitate to charge between 10k-20k for non friends and guildmates. Periodically, when I am in a philisophical mood, I don't even set a price. I just say, "How much is my time worth to you?" 9 times out of 10, I have gotten ENORMOUS tips from people (upwards to 100k, no joke).
It all evens out in the end.
