Besides all that, people will always assign some kind of 'value' to anything they do or try to obtain. In many respects it's how we decide to do something. Things like trying to decide if something is fun enough, or provides enough character advancement, or time efficient enough is still assigning a value to something. It does have to be currency based for it to be of value.
