Rainey DeCuir Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 As I understand your wish for free everything, when you purchase something in second life, you are not only paying for the animations to make it move and be realistic, or the textures to make appealing, you are paying for the talent and hard work of the person behind the screen. The person doesn't have to be greedy to wish that his or her time is well received, if their was free everything as you state then their would be no quality control, the system would be flooded with designs, but after a while the creative ones that bring you the beautiful things like designer skins, or hair, wonderful animations would get a new hobby. Ask an animator how long it takes of their real life time to make an animation, or a hair designer how long to place the 140 plus prims it takes to make hair flow just right. So, as I understand, maybe this helps to give you another point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 When you live in your mom's basement and eat her food for free, I guess you think the whole world ought to be free like that.

Oh I know... that hair is horrible... it was a last minute buy and as close as I could get given the time constraints. Still I won best costume. I keep meaning to go back and buy this hair I saw once at Truth that was perfect, but who knows if I'll ever dress up like that again. During the almost three years I've been in SL, that was the only party I was ever invited to that had a R.H.P.S. theme. ...Dres (The shoes sucked as well.)

The exact quote is "give a man a fish, you've fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you've fed him for a lifetime." I think the guy with the sign was prob making the point that when everyone goes fishing the rivers and oceans soon run out of fish. So we introduce quotas and licensing to stop this happening. Downside is that if you cant get a license then you cant go fishing even if you know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Void Singer Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 and to push it a bit farther, the very idea of a license to fish is a method for keeping people of their ability... a starving man tends to hold little regard for law when faced with the rule of hunger.

The gist of this nut's opinion, (who was a contractor, btw) was that 'regular' people had no business doing things themselves and should pay professionals instead. He thought Home Depot was some sort of evil and had a whole diatribe on HGTV (The D.I.Y. network). "I didn't spend 20 years in this business for every jackleg who watches TV for an hour to think he can hang his own sheetrock!!", peppered with plenty of swearing. He was definitely unique.
