Rhonda Huntress Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I prefer in this order: receiving a folder in a HUD that delivers a folder boxed that delivers a folder, but honestly, why do I have to wear it on my avatar and let it play some animation that over rides my own when there is no reason for it? boxed that has to be ressed in world gacha boxed I understand the reasons and limitations of each but if I could pick, that's how I would prioritize them. Just for ease of opening or not having to open in the first case. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn Zapedzki Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It is annoying when you get a box inside a box. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying is when you have to rez a box and open it to get a folder with an updater that you have to rez that orders a server to send you a folder with a box that you have to rez and open to get the folder with the damn outfit in it. Yes, there's a store that does that... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clover Jinx Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 13 minutes ago, Rhonda Huntress said: in a HUD that delivers a folder This is my number one choice. I like keeping my size out and saving the original package in case I need a new copy of a hud or changed sizes for some reason. I also sort my inventory while waiting for LBs and huds allow for opening stuff discreetly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinRey Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) On MP: No box if I'm the buyer Box if I'm the seller Inworld: No box Edit: Ideally I would have preferred to never ever having to buy or sell anything boxed. But if you have an MP store with a large number of lsiting and each listing contains a large number of items, you don't really have a choice. VML is rubbish even at the best of times and the more individual items you ask it to handle, the worse it gets. And of course at an inworld store, if you use a scritped vendor, you don't have any choice at all: everything that is sold together has to be boxed.

Jennifer Boyle Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Both. I like a folder containing all components of whatever I bought that also contains a box containing them. That way, I have the convenience of immediate access without unboxing as well as the convenience of having a boxed backup copy without boxing it myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 No box! I opened a ton of demos recently and my hand was cramping from clicking on everything. No box. Not for demos at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Landar Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Depends entirely on the product and where I'm opening it. One thing I can't stand, and many creators do, is have a "wearable package"(which comes in countless forms these days) that has some stupid animation in it, lol. Ok, maybe it's not a stupid animation to the person, but it is stupid *to me*. I don't mind wearable packages, especially when they unpack as I put them on, those are awesome. I even like rezzable packaging that automatically unpacks itself on rez. The animations just annoy me though. Not that it's impossible to stop the animation, but having to repeatedly stop all animations to get it to stop, which happens more often than it does not, drives me bonkers, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) I want either a HUD that delivers the product or a box (wearable or rezzable) that automatically unpacks. If the box is wearable, name it as such, otherwise I will rezz it so I don't end up with a dorky box attached that then has to be unattached and rezzed. The reason I want a box or HUD is because I want one item that can be filed away in case I want/need to access it again later - and I don't want to have to make a copy of everything and box it myself just to have that backup. If the annimation is just the normal 'holding a purse/box/whatever', skip it. Basically if it isn't a super cute annimation like Fashiowl Poses, skip it.

Prokofy Neva Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hate hate hate boxes. ESPECIALLY hate boxes or "shopping bags" that have these dweeby animations on them for "hold" because they want you to buy and hold, then extract the item. I also hate hate hate boxes that unpack themselves and start going into your inventory, especial havoc with single-copy gachas. I want to be able to put my purchase in my own selected folder, thanks, I don't need all your packaging crap. This really annoys me and I even asked a Linden once whether all this excessive packaging and animation was a strain on the servers, and he said it wasn't, but I'd like a second opinion.

angeoco Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 A box please, but just a plain one that contains no scripts/animations that I then have to delete. And if I don't get a box I will make one, as a backup copy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase01 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I like having the box so I can archive it as a backup, but a box inside a box is pointless. For demoing purposes, I just prefer a folder. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I hate demos in boxes. And no place to unpack them in the store. That is absolutely the worst, having to leave the store to try on the demo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Stern Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) on top, of boxes that ask if they may animate you, I don't like those boxes that upon rezzing, auto unpack and then give you an audible "Thank you for your purshase. Thank you for shopping with us". in a creepy monotone male or female voice . So now only do I have to tell said box that, "no I would not like you to animate my avatar" I now have to remember to turn sounds off before getting home and unpacking HUD un-packers are the way for me Edited July 29, 2017 by Hunter Stern 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also keep particles off, but I know some people package theirs with particle emitters(never understood that one, either, it doesn't really enhance one's unpacking experience..ok, maybe just not mine, lol) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Stern Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I do have to giggle at the merchants that sell an item with the proud announcement of how the product is "ONLY 2 Li !" and the package it comes in is 42 -120 Li or more? lol just give me a a pre-unpacked no Li folder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
