Do you mostly create in SL or do you consume?

What if you do both? I create about as much as I buy.

Or what about those that neither buy or sell?

Hard to quantify what I create.

So, I'll say I consume a lot more.

But I do like to believe I give back. :)


(Does "build" include scripting, clothing making, sound creation, etc.?)

The main attarction to the game is buidling and scripting. I'veonly been in it a while, so right now i am amassing textures (mostly uploaded), animations (mostly bought, and without copy permissions), and scripts (it's easier for me to tinker with a script and learn it than do the wiki).
So in essence i consume mostly to build. :P I'm loving the things i end up with though.

Not that such a poll means much here. The great "unwashed masses" never come near the fourms.

Tsk, tsk... Unwashed masses? If only they knew how devine a proper bath can be.

i so love to spoil myself! Please keep creating my fellow SLers so that i may continue to live my second life in the luxury i've grown accustomed to!

*sighs blissfully as i sink back into the oiled waters, the gentle waves lapping against my warm glistening skin, hypnotic fragrances enveloping me, enchanting my senses*

Group bath anyone? ;)

One of the latest things Reddish consumed - or at least bought - was an arrow through the head she sent me! I am happy to report that it is very "me" and I wear it constantly! :)

I cant answer this. You need a third choice. I do build a lot, but I am not good at everything. When I want something but I also know of someone who makes that much better than I would be able to, I buy it. There are even other animation shops I would visit just because they took the time to do something I like but I just dont feel like doing it myself.

When I do feel like buying some thing, I often tend to look into shops with creaters who I know have gave me some business. I think a lot of this goes on.

Good answer. I create a lot, but I also go on shopping splurges once every few weeks. It's usually things I've seen here in the New Products section. I flip back through it to check who made the items I thought were groovy and where they're at. I'll go spend a few thousand, then go back to being a hermit.

I buy stuff mostly, I can build but usually it's for someone in specific, and usually for free. I find it hard to motavate myself to run a business in SL.
