This is an authentic complaint. Crashes on teleport still happen. They don't appear to be a pc/internet issue as they occur across several different types of build. They appear to happen more frequently when draw distance is set above 128 and higher performance settings are selected. It's disappointing that neither viewer creators or SL developers have nailed this down. I can also see the possibility that this harms retention. Ironically the person that jumped in to say that this was a 'you problem', didn't stick around to see the others reinforcing the OP's position. Unironically, people lept at his profile picture rather than saying "Yeah, this sucks and happens to me too".

I decided 'f--- it' I tried this before in 2018. People twisted my words. Nothing to see here.

I don't have a problem with disagreements that are well thought out, but when it's just "This isn't a problem because it isn't a problem." It's pretty obnoxious, really. Sign of the state of things, as many have shared with me directly.

You guys are so passionate about slapping me down, it sounds like you're afraid my post will become well received. I like that the one that started out making illogical assumptions and fallacies as their entire post now is trying to flip back on me and take umbrage because they received a taste of their own medicine and didn't enjoy the outcome.

And I'm sure you feel really comfortable walking down the street in Kuala Lumpur, giving your money to a street vendor for an unregulated pair of headphones that will probably not electrocute you the moment you plug them in. Unregulated is better because unregulated is better. Your circular argument is so small it doesn't have space in the middle.

And here come the trolls. This is why the community is shrinking, while the greed is increasing. People like this make it impossible to have a point, because they'd rather spread salt rather than self-reflect. This is nothing but baseless deferment spewed forth in rapid fire succession in the hopes that it will cause people to laugh, and handwave the whole thing away. Unfortunately, progress doesn't abide this unstable, and inarticulate bullying. Further, your time would be better spent actually working in a profession, rather than spending all day dissecting and analyzing someone else's post just to be pedantic on the internet. If you can assume you know everything about me, there is nothing to stop me from doing the same. Move out of your mother's basement, troll.

I'm so glad you have decided I am not a creator. Genuinely so. It means I can disregard this, as it seems you clutch the misconception that people who ask for equality have no experience as content creators. That because I beg for fairness and equality means I insist upon servitude. This is ridiculous, and was already addressed in the thread. I have worked in the Quake Engine for over 15 years. I know all about its capabilities, and its applications for SL. I have scripted Python, C++ and Java for ten. I have several active listings on the MP which sell well. But that is all tangential to the point. This should have never even been doubled down on.

I have no intention of honoring any statement that "LL will never hear this." Because they will certainly never hear it if I say nothing at all, and remain complacent to these regressions.

Just as someone is not forcing you to ever speak to people, or enter a sim where people gather. No one is forcing you to enjoy the things of SL. This kind of negative reinforcement is a form of deferment, and is complicit to the fact that discriminatory acts are being committed by the community at large. There are elements of each body which are best suited to specific shapes, and anyone who builds an avatar with a target shape in mind does know this. Curvature of the hips and spine, shape of the neck, things which cannot be edited are locked in once you choose a specific maker, and the current bone adjustments do not allow for deviations from it. To make a homogenous market, which only allows shape editing in the limited fashion SL technology is capable of doing is not freedom to make the avatar of your choice. To capitulate to this reality, and conform to what vendors are compelled to build for is regressive, and closes doors on entire avenues of creativity.

Only reason that would be a valid AR is if I cite them as the source of the problem. I do not. Nothing wrong with citing examples. I don't even reference a Maitreya product. I reference the things made for that body, which is fine. There is a problem with reaching for that as an excuse for censorship. It would be erroneous in no small part to dismiss this call to fairness and impartiality in business practice as a 'rant'.

Those machines are regulated by local regulations. They require a certain percentage probability to be tested and demonstrated by a quality assurance department, and their mechanisms of action are easily searchable on the internet. SL's gachas are secretive boxes that contain scripts that may or may not be following a set of rules established internally by anyone who has access to the source code. That isn't the same. Also, deferments were not solicited in the OP. Furthers will not be acknowledged so as not to tangent from the subject.

Sorry, no. Request for oversight is not a feature.

Are you assuming that I'm not? That would be a mistake.

I don't see how any of what I said was suggesting a new feature. And I don't see the request for a debate either.

(This message is intended for LL's orgchart and people who are actually in a position to work on it. Please no deferments or fashion suggestions.) Hello, I am writing this as a concerned citizen of SL for 9 years now. I am seeing a disturbing trend of progression toward a more and more greedy/gacha form of marketing amongst the build community, and as it stands, the current market structure would appear to be unsustainable. It has been become more and more controversial over the last year or so, that gacha schemes are pushing in the direction of preying upon the same neural pathways as gambling, and this is seen to be manifesting in the Second Life community as a whole. We have gone from having pretty much no presence of gacha schemes in SL, to a large percentage of lindens changing hands coming from these machines in a 3 year span of time. As they evolve, the win mechanics are not shared with the public and are manipulated without the payer being informed. At any given moment, the chance for the desired item could be zero, and they would not know it. Not to mention that SL is a multi-cultural community in which gambling is forbidden in some cultures, and some of those cultures, specifically those of Muslim origin see gacha schemes as gambling. For those people these items are unobtainable except by second hand unregulated gouge sales on the Marketplace. As a second point of note, it seems that the hard work of Bento creators, to develop new items for compatible bodies has been reduced down to creators choosing one body to build for, and then pleading lack of time for all others. This results in a lack of fashion support for many bodies, as this results in a feedback loop of creators creating a larger same-y marketshare of body support, and ignoring all others with other bodies. As the market then becomes more homogenous, creativity, and uniqueness of avatar appearances go by the wayside. THIS ESPECIALLY AFFECTS ETHNIC AVATARS. Please, someone within the regulatory body of SL, look into this. I'm not sure what the solution is. But you have to make it so everyone can still enjoy SL. I see all of these MAITREYA EXCLUSIVE events popping up, and it's making it impossible for me to find new things to wear. This is only the middle stage of this homogenization, and it will continue to advance until there is little variety in body choice in SL. (Yes I own a Maitreya body. No, I do not want to look like you.) Thank you for your consideration.

Poor form, Peggy, You should know that for all his shouting, he has a point. The facts are, the grid has issues. These are issues that do in fact get worse with each year, and each new bit of technology unveiled. Sims crash with only 30 avatars on them for 20 minutes. Teleports stop working for no reason. Entire sims stay gray for hours upon teleporting in, regardless of cached/uncached. Animations run once and then stop. The viewer crashes routinely after approximately 2 hours of routine use. Memory usage steadily rises during play. And the list goes on and on... The issues I've listed have all appeared since 2009, perhaps because of the new technology introduced, but also because LL has failed to accomodate its user burden responsibly. It's enough to make someone angry, and talking down on someone, mockery, and attempts at snide humor is no way to address those failures. Thank you.
