Anything you use a script for gives you value (experience, quest points, item, gp, etc...).
Whether or not you choose to convert that value in real life dollars is up to you of course.
The thing is that with the OSB1 market the value consumers receive from scipts outweighs what the scripters receives in return for their efforts by a lot, sometimes by thousands of percents actually, which isn't really fair when you compare the effort both parties invest. You should still be able to make hefty profits though with the OSB2 market, I can guarantee you that!
Don't let recurrent fees demotivate you guys! Give the model at least a try and if you don't like it let us know what you didn't like, the system / prices can always be tweaked!
