I find it extremely handy to have product images included with purchases. I know a lot of creators do include them (or some include them sometimes, but not all the time), but it seems like a lot do not chose to do this.
Is there any reason in particular why creators would not include product images with their products? I pretty much NEED them or I'll forget what something even is, even with my organized inventory. I find it much easier to open a texture that has the product already instead of having to attach the item, wait for it to rez, possibly remove items I already have attached because the new item conflicts, etc.
Thankfully I have premium plus and enough time on my hands to check out creator's flickr accounts and download/upload the product images, so it's 'free' for me. However, 99.9% of the time (unless the creator is MP only), those images are already uploaded to the grid for ads and product displays. Not to mention when a creator doesn't use Flickr, or doesn't have an easily searchable description, or they use other places that are harder to search (facebook, instagram, or other things that require you to log in or create an account). I'll have to create my own image, which just isn't the same for me (subjectively).
I find the product images sometimes give me ideas for outfits, or how to use a product differently than I might have without them, or really any number of reasons besides those. I understand some people will just delete all the random stuff (unpacker scripts, product images, mesh for bodies they don't use, LMs, etc), but that's a lot easier than someone else having to recreate those things themselves.
Anyone else like having product images and wish it was more of a 'standard' thing? As I said, the image is usually already uploaded so including it with a purchase costs nothing as far as I understand.
