LOL internetz. Fucking retarded callous little brats say that. They could never understand or respect anything, You think their bullshit stops just because it's offline? No. They still behave like parasites even in the real world.
That being said - Worth is determined by the investment of the only non renewable and extremely valuable resource available to each and every one of us. OUR TIME. So really, don't think you can explain away or excuse your bullshit behavior just because it is a digital environment.
You invest time into something, that MAKES it real.

And this is a reaction to?
The ones who see things differently.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Re: How worth is determined
So if you spend time constructing and filling 800 wicker baskets with apples, the apples gain value simply because you spent time on them?

Several factors are relevant in any determination of value. For an introduction to the Austrian (School of Economics) theory of value, I recommend reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_utility

Don't be silly. Your worth is based on how many ☼dwarven syrup roast☼s you make.

I'm not referring to monetary worth.
And this is in response to those idiot griefers

Re: How worth is determined
Worth is subjective. Have you heard that saying "One man's trash is another man's treasure"? Time invested in the creation of the item/idea can be a factor in it's worth to the owner and perhaps to select people, but not to everyone. And why bother responding to the 'idiot griefers' with an outrage thread? It's pointless. But I feel your pain

Re: How worth is determined
True. Value changes per person, but having a set value fixes that. But i don't know if that's the topic of this thread..

Re: How worth is determined
I normally shy away from any use of that term, but if it were to be rephrased as "Worth is a matter of personal preference", then you are, of course, correct.Denvon wrote:Worth is subjective.

Re: How worth is determined
If you're angry because some dweeb came and kicked over your nice sand castle, then you may want to consider changing philosophies.
The sand castle was ALWAYS going to be a temporary thing. Rejoice in the process of creation, the skills you learnt, the time you had, and now the opportunity to start from scratch and create something new.
Entropy is like the tide, griefers may catalyze it but you're still trying to fight the tide when you'd probably be a lot happier if you just accepted it
