I've never said that time and effort shouldn't count. What I've said is that it doesn't have to be the only factor. Someone who works full time can never compete with an unemployed person who spends all of their time on the mud. I think that as long you put some time and effort into the mud, there is nothing wrong with argumenting your development in return for things which help the mud.

Then you believe the same as me. The only difference between our views is that you think mud owners should use a bartering system and only exchange in-game benefits in return for something that the player has personally made specifically for the mud. My view differs in that I think any trade which is of value to the mud should be worth consideration. I consider that "fairer" than your system, which discriminates against those who are not capable builders. It would be a bit like a baker who refused to sell his bread - instead he would only exchange it for fish which the other person had caught themself.
