That makes some sense. Plot isn't so much what happens as why it happens in the way it does, and the world in which a story is set will often have a bearing on which possibilities are the most likely ones to occur at a given point in a given story.

You can "shoot from the hip" and not use a builder world. However, you are just as equally likely to use one. The only real differentiating point between them is how the story was founded. IE, from a world, from an element, from a plotline, or from a character. The only time builder worlds come into play is when a story is founded around either a world or a plotline. I hope that explains it a little better. ^_^;;
