While there has been some discussion of leveling the playing field,
I would point out that I considered this to be merely a side effect
of the time debt concept, not a primary motivation.  I had two main
motivations when working on the idea: the amount of time players
have to spend doing repetitive and often boring things, just to get
at the content or activity they enjoy, and at the same time, a lack
of percieved value in activities which usually take little or no
time in most game.
