[Support the Japan Earthquake & Pacific Tsunami Relief with Linden Dollars]

I am very happy that there is a way to spend for the peoples who had to experiece the daster in japan.

Its very friendly that you did set that up so that we can donate.

If you ask me.. I also would never ever suggest any newbie to stay on Viewer 2x.. I rather would tell him "If you really want to enjoy SL there are alternative Clients... you should try.. Not much peoples use Viewer 2"

But not because performance, tp or inventory problems. I would suggest a TPV because it is a fairy-tale to believe that Viewer 2x is better to use.

I dont know if this Viewer 2x has any stability or performance problems or what ever. All I know and in fact thats what peoples feel as biggest problem is the USABILITY. It is a user unfriendly software. It looks and feel like a software from a mobilephone, They failed hard.

I believe 10 % or 20 % peoples use it. I believe 5% because they like this Viewer and 15% because they dont know there are better Clients outthere. Because they do not inform them self.. just because they are casual SL users.

VIewer 2x is for most peoples not an improvement. And that is the real problem. Not any technical or whatever problem. Only the USABILITY is the real big problem.

Most peoples refuse to deal with this bunch of code. And I believe there will be no change. Peoples prefer TPV´s. That is fact.

LL should start to realize this and stop this mess.

Well as long as they do not transform it to ipad grafics and I can enjoy it still with my "high end system".. well then nothing to say agains it.. but only if the webbased stays as alternative and not main login variante.

But in fact thats what I did mean with the example of tiger woods from ea sports. The web based version looks like a 5 years old game while the other versions was looking very awesome.

So good to know that TPV´s and so will stay.

Can anybody explain me why there is need for a web viewer from user standpoint  (not dev standpoint)? I mean which of us users could like that trend apart from those facebook and twitter freaks?

Are peoples to lazy to install a client today? Are peoples overstrained with there own system and all the scopes today?

Do we really need to transform everything to those facebook and twitter style trash?

Serously...

I played a game which you had to install in the past... I talk about a golf game called  Tiger Woods. Now EA is offering the newest version of this game as web-based or better browser-based game. I played it as well and all I can say it is absolotly crapy.

Do we really want to destroy the soul of the good old games and apps? I just cant imagine that you can run anything on a browser like you could run on your own mashine (installing) without surrender of quality and usability. Those games I played with my browser are in fact real unusable stuff and a waste of time.

So why peoples think about this solution? I cant see any good reason.

You are right Phantom. I think there is no need to port display names over to Viewer 1x. Thats really not what I did mean. You are right Phantom.

I just have the feeling that most peoples I talked to refuse to deal with the Viewer 2 generation.

I only would agree to Phantoms point with Mesh. I think Mesh is an improvement and peoples will use it if it is working good at least.

So I would like to see it on Viewer 1, Phoenix VIewer.. or what ever Viewer.

Just this Viewer 2 is something me and all peoples I talked to dislike. Look around.. many peoples seems to dislike it. LL should notice and start to approve that. Viewer 2 is a big fail and nothing else.

And if you talk to peoples who think so.. they will tell you about the bad usability of Viewer 2.

Thats why I think.. "Never touch a running System" and please please Linden Lab.. go back to the root.. go back to VIewer 1. No one cares about tons of menus and buttons.. I think SL Users are interlectual enough to use a complex Viewer. In fact we need something like that and not a Software which seems like un-complex twitter application.. or any software from a 1 dollar table in any store.

Viewer 2 is a mess. Its designt for peoples who get crazy when they see more then 2 menus.. Its a software my grandpa maybe would like. But me... I use computers and software since I am a children. And I believe most of us do.. at least we are not stupid to use VIewer 1. In fact that is a lie that it was to hard to understand!

So LL.. start to listen to your customer base! I mean those peopels who are here since the whole soul of SL was born and stop to listen to these noobs who told you that Viewer 1 is not easy to use! Those peoples came here so fast as they will go. Do not listen to ghost accounts which will never be logged in because the account holder thought SL is something like Call of Duty or World of Warcraft!

Listen to your long time residents and stop the SL Viewer 2 mess.

Still a horrible usability of this Viewer. I really wish they close the whole VIewer 2 Project. I cant imagine why they still hold on a Viewer wich the community refuse to feal with.

Seriosly... you still develop this VIewer for those 5% of Peoples who like it?

Stop it and update the old Viewer! Believe me.. peoples will be happy then.
