Home.
Now that's an interesting concept right there.
If
SL is one grid and a person's "home" is another, then I imagine that person might not have too much difficulty determining that if they want to take an item "home," they need to have their home in that grid.
Your idea of home seems to be "everywhere." In other words, that all grids would interconnect, right? That they should be totally seamless.
Well, with some of the grids having no security, I don't think that will work.
Grids can't be totally seamless when they have different rules.
Apparently, by your thinking (and not just yours), everything - all grids - should be as one, in terms of moving between them (without the horrendous inconvenience of having to log off one and onto another!) and taking stuff from one to another.
But - you DON'T think they should be as one regarding permissions, rules, or anything else. Sounds to me like a looter's heyday.
People aren't going to make products when they know other people can take them elsewhere and give them away by the thousands, or sell them as their own.
So the people who you say aren't going to want to buy products they "can't take home" will be perfectly okay, because there won't be any products worth buying to take home anyway!
On several posts now, you indicate you know what LL is and isn't going to do.
How do you know they aren't going to put a flag?
