This seems to have been resolved, after testing every attachment and body part on a variety of bodies, it was a old tattoo layer BOM for a head texture. For some reason, that tattoo was failing to load on some computers. If someone runs into a similar issue, I'd check all tattoos you have.

So I'm going to need to explain: I'm not exactly the most advanced SL user, but I'm not new. I don't know a solution to this. One of my bodies, using mostly pieces from the RUF/Ghosted Tigerlong avatar (it's very much hybridized, custom textures, etc) loads fine on my end, it loads fine for anyone on sim when I switch to it, but remains a cloud permanently for anyone who teleports in and looks to it. I'm assuming there's some kind of issue with a specific mesh or bodypart on it, but I'm not honestly sure what it could be. Anyone have any idea how to locate which part, bodypart, etc. could be causing the issue?

Maitreya if I remember right was a non-second life body purchased and rigged onto the SL body, yeah. It's why it has so many jank proportions. (The weird sharp hips, the odd squarish breasts, the notorious shoulders, the weird back angle, etc) As it wasn't made or designed for Second Life in the first place, it was designed for a more complex skeleton with proper physics. There's a lot of oddities with Maitreya, TBH I have almost no love of the body myself. But I really doubt it'll just outright die, as people have said, so much is made for it. That may actually be a weakness though. It can get hard to find stuff that isn't ancient and outdated clothing wise at times.

I'm absolutely certain Lara is on its way out. Belleza too. They are still in use but less and less is being made for it, new stuff is often exclusive to the Kupra, legacy or Ebody, and it feels very similar to where Slink was when I desperately clung to it. Yes, it was common. Yes it was everywhere. No, it was not doing well. A good example of why the raw 'avatar' numbers shouldn't say much about the health of a body is to eye how, combining all the various kemono-versions/mods, there's more kemono than Legacy. Kemono however has been abandoned for about two years by almost everyone, and even the former dedicated Kemono brands have swapped to other bodies. Lara's not that far yet, but just looking around any sim I'm in, I can count bodies. In two years Snaggletooth, kemono, slink and belleza have almost disappeared with only a few Freyas holding on. Maitreya has gone from super-dominant at almost 90% of the population to, I'm reasonably sure less than half. Mostly I'm seeing it on boys using it for femme mods.

Admittedly if a gacha machine stated the exact % and drop rate of the items, additionally it didn't require multiple items to get benefit from, and the items involved were not necessarily piecemeal or greater than the other, this would fall out of most lootbox regulations. I have never seen a gacha that did that.
