I'm not quite sure how you managed to come to that conclusion, after I just specifically said "I am firmly against rich morons who purchase super characters yet have no clue to play".
My opinion is this:
1. You should HAVE to put in time and effort in order to advance within the mud.
2. Money should NEVER be able to get you something that time and effort cannot.
3. As long as it doesn't violate any licenses, and as long as you are up-front about it, there is nothing wrong with allowing people to make up for lost playing hours through making contributions to the mud.
4. A "contribution" is something which helps the mud, or can be used to help the mud, and (as well as money) includes such things as writing help files, building areas, reporting bugs, running quests, writing articles, providing advertising, etc.
5. Different people are good at different things. If one person is a skilled builder then they can write you an area - but a bartering system like that is hardly fair on those who cannot build, and is why money was invented in the first place.
