My thoughts:
* Introducing a mod market could theoretically improve quality (because of competition), but it could also create monopolies because some modders are more prominent than others.
* If the key system isn't effective, pirates could resell mods, thus allowing them to steal investments of time and willpower.
* If this was to be made, I think it should start off with a virtual currency to test the waters. Then if it does well, implement real cash-to-virtual cash micro-transactions.
Currently, modders make addons for the purpose of pleasing other modders and non-modders. Adding a mod market to the equation could drastically alter that relationship, for good or ill. Just food for thought.

Just to comment on the monopoly part, I don't see how prominenet modders would have one. (Seeing as anyone can make a mod with the skills). It might be a good idea to test it out first.

It makes me sad to see that you guys think free is best. Free is the enemy of quality. If we want quality mods, we need them to cost money. There will still be our mediocre add-ons (no offence to the scripters :p) for free, and again, other games do the same thing and its proven to work. Name one person who is willing to spend 7+ hours a day developing something for free, while having an income of
0$. Uhhhh... Brian Smith with all of his awesome mods?? Bushido with T+T? Nexus with NARG?
This is the exact route that roblox is going down
We pay 20 dollars for a loving GAME ALREADY, then you expect us to pay MORE money to get a GAME that we already payed for?
You might say that the game would become free, but that is already the stufftiest idea because the game is worth 20 dollars and without that one time fee to get a loving game or mod we would LITERALLY be a roblox clone.
Do you have a brain at all?
Heck, mods can even be better then the original game its self.

This is seriously the worst idea in Blockland history
Do you REALLY think that some idiot would pay 5 dollars just for a mod?
And even if this WAS implemented, couldn't you just open up the mod files and give it to people?
Or give the key to people?
I doubt you are smart enough to comprehend how idiotic this idea is.
Like I said before: Do you have a brain at all?
