    You cant use the same HUD or texture, most textures are baked, if its not baked (or manually drawn to look baked) it will look incredibly flat and you wouldnt buy it, and HUDs still have to be configured. Even if you have the perfect streamlined process to create, it takes time to build, rig, texture, configure, that is a number of skills that people cultivated for years.  You cant really complain about paying 50c to a dollar for a well made product.  And forget about fatpacks, chances are you dont need the exact same jacket in 35 colours, you´ll pick one, and use it for 6 years in a row.

    You can repurpose HUDs pretty easily and I can think of a few different designers who are currently doing just that has for textures for a mesh item. I was referring to texture patterns again being repurposed for said item, it is not that hard, and does not take much time. The draw to fatpacks is entirely on the fatpack exclusives which I believe is a good thing. Majority of fatpacks allow you to change certain things on said mesh which are not on the individual items.

    But hey you want to argue semantics with someone who is a consumer and saying I'm wrong when I am just calling it has I see it.
    How long it takes someone to design something is none of my concern, it is theirs. I am here to buy the product, and current pricing on things is just not worth it in most cases.

  2. I was once a avid shopper hitting the events the same day they opened even bit the bullet when the prices started going up as my fellow shoppers stopped logging in due to price increases, because shopping was their thing in Second Life. Price increases turned them away from Second Life.

    Nowadays those same people would rather invest their money in a indie game because they get more value out of it, then a outfit fatpack. The way I see it is if you want to charge more money for your product you have to make it worth it, and there has been zero change to the majority of main stream designers. Same HUDs, and same textures from their previous release but a different mesh.

    Here is a statement from one of my friends, "I would rather pay a month of an MMO subscription than buy a fatpack on SL."

    From the consumers end all they see is pricing going up for no reason because why should they have to think about the economy?
    I still maintain a premium membership, own my land which I allow my close friends to have small homes on to avoid laggy rentals.

  3. In my experience clubs have been places where people park their avatars while they afk so people look at their profile and click the flickr link.
    Smaller clubs that cap at around 30 usually have live people, or clubs that require a one time group fee but not a guarantee.

    For being a social network in my experience there are a lot of anti social people these days.

  4. Most mesh bodies are about 9000 complexity, If you're numbers are running higher then 60,000 then you are wearing poorly designed mesh. Sure the textures may be great but the mesh has too many vertices. It may be hard for you to understand but complexity does matter and not just for old computers. Going off of what you posted your avatar alone is probably file size wise bigger then a Call of Duty map.

  5. I've never had an issue with getting support from TMP. Just because some people think its complicated it is thrown to the side. Stylemode is great, Stores all your aplliers you ever installed. So no need to go looking through your inventory for an outfit, or tattoo. Just load up Stylemode and its all there. Sure you can't get the DevKit has I'm posting this but that might be because things are changing up after a year, Plus all their store clothes are half off atm for delivering over 1,000,000 Meshes.

  6. Looks really don't matter if you are a nice person geniuely. I'm a male and even when I had the classic body I was meeting many meshed out women wanting to chill. When you go all decked out you will meet some of the worst women in SL cause all they care about are your looks. Find something in SL that makes you want to be here instead of looking to hook up. The hook up part will come naturally and its a secondary gain. Rarely have I met a full on mesh women who doesn't have some sort of issues. In my experience the nicest women I've met have been rocking classic. Something to think about before you go out and blow lindens.

  7. The mesh heads that are out there are all very similar imo. Sure you can change the makeup and such but it is still the same head has many others before you have purchased, The other side of that is if you bought your shape from a shop then you have the same issue. The expressions that the mesh heads do have are neat but you still end up looking like a statue. But you should do what you want just know what makes you special is the decesions you make on dressing your avatar. I have a friend she refuses to wear mesh bodies, or heads and she looks good.
