In my opinion, it's interesting when an account's posts sound like those of a disgruntled merchant but the account that's doing the posting shows no evidence of having a store.

I always try to leave one but problem is that a lot of the things I buy are in world... It's silly there's still no integration of in world and marketplace sales. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomadic Vehicle Fanatics are NOT the primary users of mainland, that would be mainland parcel owners, many of them residential, and even more in the hands of large land speculators, which is a substantial amount of premium subscriptions, and Tier payments. 2. Mainland is NOT "90-100% abandoned", figures from Grid Survey seem to suggest a figure closer to 20%. That's about 80% occupied and being paid for and awful lot of lost tier revenue. Like many Bellicosians, you VASTLY overestimate your importance, when expressing your hatred for Mainlanders. Belli is nothing but an endless tract of suburbia, mainland (including Zindra) is where all the fun, interesting stuff is 😁 Edited October 27, 2023 by BilliJo Aldrin spelling 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 14 minutes ago, Ceka Cianci said: throw away alts When I see a lot of reviews on a product, even if I'm not considering buying it, I like to look at the reviews. It's often 5 or 6 reviews from accounts all created around the same time and the reviews are often within a few days of each other. Partly why I disregard most reviews when making a purchase. We also see those alts here in the forums (even in this thread). 😁 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't and get along really well with them.. I also don't want to derail this thread to being just about creators.. So I'm gonna go in and shop from some of the Good ones.. I also know all customers aren't good as well.. Having a bunch of friends that are creators, I can also understand where they are coming from.. Everyone have a great day..

System bodies and even prims are made from 3D geometries of polygons - ergo, mesh. Technically that's correct. However, prims are governed by mathematical relationships, which is why tools to edit them are easy to make. But more importantly, we needed some kind of distinction between the kinds of objects that can be built with the in world tools, and the kind that have to be built with third party applications and then imported. "Mesh" was arguably the wrong term to choose, but it's too late now. Oh...and to the OP: Long live flexi!!!!!!!!

Unity Evermore Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 You're mistaking fear for common sense. If a merchant is using their forum signature and profile to promote their merchandise, they're not going to post criticism of customers in the forum, even though customers absolutely deserve it. The customer is not always right. Most of the time, customers don't even know what they want until a creator comes along and shows them what they should want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Mysterious Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Here's a other hot take/unpopular opinion: Popular creators having tip jars set out is silly. You really expect us to tip you for re-texturing something you bought full perm off the MP or other 3rd party sites and resell for far more than its actually worth? Are y'all not making ENOUGH off sells? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are y'all not making ENOUGH off sells? Creators do'nt put it out and expect you to pay, it's a possibility to do so. Nobody HAS. A customer cán appreciate some extra service that the creator give personalle andyou have no clue about. It's not your business where a creator gets their models. If you don't want it, don't buy. Very simple. Also your judgement about their earnings, is again nót your business. If they want to ask 10k for a plywood prim they cán do that.. are they greedy? or have idiots as customer?.... Stay away from shops you don't like. It's better for your own bloodpressure, you live longer, and the creator won't even notice you didn't visit, that's your importance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
