You all know that the creation of a dream avi takes time right? So you *politely* ask someone else to do it (otherwise hiring them to). The people who make them for you go through one heck of a time trying to make your dream avi, so shouldn't you at least pay them for it? I mean, it doesn't take your time, but it takes other people's time and using the computer for them also burns the electricity, in which we need to pay the electricity bill. So we should get some kind of reward for doing these things right? It's no different from doing avi art.
The thing about paying is, no one likes to do it. You cannot count the number of times great and amazing artists have to lower their prices in order to get customers. I have actually seen great artists waste their skills by turning to the free shops and requests. To most Gaians, free art is even better right? Wrong. Us artists are wasting our time for these things without even getting paid, but we should actually be using them for something better. A simple payment would suffice, but if your art isn't all that up to "AMAZING" standards, that's another story.
Also, in the time I have spent on Gaia, (which is longer than you think) the number of generous donators have dropped so low, it's beginning to get quite frightening. Even if you are on a quest, please consider others and their cause the same as you. Even when I was on a quest, I donated to many a person.
Now I do realize that people may not be as generous as I may be, but still, if you do a good favor here and there, you'll probably get a lot more in return. ((Trust me, I had a lot of people donate to me when I was questing. It was amazing.))
It seems that I have used up enough space on debating To pay, or not to pay?, so if anyone else would like to add, feel free, but I shall close up for the moment.
Thank you for reading my debate.
