TP for cash?Follow

I was looking through the mage spell lists and saw the portals... i was wondering that in the stress test atm, if the have the transit system up, and if so, would a mage be able to port for less than the transit system, and still make a fair amount of cash...
There are some mages who charge for the use of their portal service. You probably won't make very much money off of it, but you might make some. Travel by other means is fairly cheap and has advantages of its own (looking at the landscape while onboard a flying creature is awesome!).
EDIT: In the last patch they added a reagent cost to the use of Teleportation. It seems to me, then, that a mage will be very reluctant to use this ability on anyone besides himself unless he is sufficiently rewarded-- in which case, the potential customer will probably seek alternate modes of transport. Too bad.

No, it's most definitely not cheaper, but it *is* instant, and can start from wherever you are instead of specific NPC's in towns.
As for using portal as a money source... I *suppose* it's possible if your group's in a difficult place to escape, but I'd consider that immoral use of the spell...

Yah, most likely not. Remember that Blizz wants everyone to explore the land and the best way to do some exploring is by taking flights on beast. Mage i'm sure will make a lot of money in the later games when more higher lvls start appearing because each mob u kill at the lvl 20's drops around a silver or more each. Reagents shouldn't cost over 10s per right? So in the later games u will make some cash. But from my experience you use money quick but also gain money quick in WoW. So i wouldn't worry about getting lots of cash like EQ1, where everything is about pp. No pp = no good armor/weapon which leads to no important role in the raid.

Teleporting people around isnt a need................i have never been asked or seen any mage saying they are teleporting for cash. The cost of the regent is 9s MIN and then you can get from A to B using a griffon for sometimes max 5s so whats the point?? If a person desperatly needs to get out they will use their stone and then run to a griffon. There is no point in even trying to use mage's teleports. I mean u could try but its not worth it in the long run.
