Advanced courses - Things to think about - Pay2Win?!

Up until now, there are several question with a great number of participants that cover the topic of Advanced courses. Personally I would also highly welcome such courses. I mentioned that also in one of the threads. What do you think about paying for advanced courses? What benefits would you expect if these courses had a price tag on it? How much would you be ready to pay? Would you prefer a flat rate for all courses or rather a "Pay-per-Course"-Fee? My standpoint on this is, that I would be willing to pay, if the courses are well prepared and the quizzes are challenging so they get a business value for anybody who is interested in hiring me. I have no preferences in either flat rate or pay per course. Looking forward to your thoughts....

SL is a platform that serves to spread knowledge for free. Anyways, why waste momey when that knowledge might be somewhere in the internet? I disagree!

I agree with Pegasus, Kartikey and Harsh on this one... unless if paying is in the form of OPTIONAL donations to help SL provide FREE knowledge

This doesn't sounds very nice, as SL has always been a platform for people to learn to program for free and doing so wouldn't be right, as far as I think.

Not everyone is capable of paying like you. And, SL is not only for specific users, it is open for all and that's too for free.

Or maybe, even paying with XP. After all, of what use are these?

I am curious what kind of Win can I get for Pay???? until I finished a course I have no clue about the value added I get. what would I pay for then? I am not saying that this contradicts to principles of SL as self-sufficient community.
