Dude, Phoenix, why are you on his case about this? Some people (like me) actually do enjoy ripping sprites and compiling spritesheets. And while this may come as a shock to you, spriting from scratch just doesn't come naturally for everyone. For instance, I can make props, at least some stuff, but I can't do characters from scratch to save my life. (I have, however, gotten pretty damn good at heavy sprite editing, if I do say so myself. )
