Your first view of who that person is them saying "Give me stuff". Plenty enough people not doing that so I am not missing out on anything as far as I can see. I can't talk to everyone I see there isnt time so I use profiles to winnow out who I talk to simple as that, its just one of the things that gets you on my don't bother with list. Another is "mess with my family and you mess with me". Are all people with that on their profile going to be arrogant and aggressive....probably not. probably more than half though so you put yourself in the likely category then thats your issue not mine. Or am I being judgemental there too?

I don't mind visitors on my land most of the time and am generally fairly open to people coming and wandering around. However I would also consider what you did rude and would have eject banned you. I wouldnt have harangued you however merely blocked you The simple reason for that is you tped to their land, you then went afk straight away. You didnt look round and see if there was anyone there and ask if they minded you merely made the assumption that it was ok because they didnt have an orb up. For all you know her and her partner were in an intimate moment and the last thing they wanted was some random being a silent statue around them. As someone else said not everyone has rights or option to lock the land to visitors and if they get people like you doing that then yes I can see why they get annoyed. Simple rule if you visit someone elses land be respectful. If they im or talk to you answer, don't tp and afk immediately when the owners are there ask if they mind Regardless of whether you see it as rational humans are territorial and just as you wouldn't like some random stranger walking through your open front door and flopping down on your couch, after all you left the front door open so it must be ok, they dont like some random stranger doing the same in their virtual home

If I check out a profile and it has on the front page a wish list then it gets shut straight down and I don't bother reading more and just don't bother with im'ming them

To most SL is a hobby, think its to expensive then don't participate it is totally your choice. Compared to most hobbies such as sports such like SL is an incredibly cheap one and you can participate at whatever expenditure level you are comfortable with. Try doing that with for example golf

board game site I play on however did have an article about someone playing from the international space station which is feasible as board games are not high bandwidth nor latency sensitive. Whether I ever played with him or her no idea as they didnt reveal the site name of the player

Got australian friends I talk to fairly regularly and being from the uk thats quite far

No problem easy enough to get the wrong impression we have all done it

I no where said they couldnt change clothes hair or gender, I even referenced the thread where the poster of this picture made the claim no one would notice. People were quite welcome to check up on what he exactly said. I did not anticipate people not using their brains and thinking they couldnt change clothes hair or gender. It was a simple would you trade this mesh body for your. I never claimed any of the other things. To add the confusion probably comes from this thread was originally in the same forum as the claims were made and was moved here by mods though the original thread wasnt which makes it slightly disconnected

and we have stated time and again why static examples dont work. The sl avi doesnt work with animations because it doesnt have enough polygons it moves like an automaton. The examples which are also static or limited animation prove nothing. The person that posted the original image is an "let optimise everything no one will notice the difference between my original image and what they have now" The fact he has since posted more detailed avi's shouldnt detract from the fact he considered the first one "No one will notice a difference" ie his opinion is suspect

No the point is from the op, that some of those that suggest stuff is bad content is because they view sl in a different way and regard it as "no one will notice the difference because it wouldnt make a difference to me" which i think this thread has shown to be wrong. I am all for optimisation until it affects my QoL. My objection to optimisation is precisely that. Optimise away, the moment you interfere with my sl QoL you have optimised too far. The picture I posted in the op was suggested by an optimiser as no one would notice a difference. Most posters have said yes we would

Yes and your point is? you dont matter learn to live with it I have

I didnt ask you to take my opinion check the other thread where digit gears assertion that no one would notice is being roundly refuted. Shrugs you merely think you know what is best for the rest of us, some of us disagree get over yourself and your I know best attitude because we don't care

Which part of that is a photograph that was touched up did you miss? I have repeated that several times and also said animations count more than static poses. Not my fault you fail to understand As I said played with the kind of avatars that digit linked in other games, they dont move realistically all they can compete with is a static standing pose. Big deal. You and your ilk can say it doesnt make a difference all you like but you cannot tell me what matter to me so tough and ll agree because they dont implement your stupid idea

Its not just about the textures though, animations stretch and move the body in various ways. I have seen people with very good shapes they did for the system body and they look great when standing. Then they go into a pose and well the straight lines become obvious because the polygons arent sufficient density to adequately smooth the curve

No I am actually hoping to switch to a newer body, just currently none of them I can adjust to the look I want acceptably. Though I agree most people who want mesh already have a body they like and they won't switch until a body gives them better than what they have. I highly doubt this would be the lab body though.

You are assuming that people will switch, personally I doubt it. I have an old body (tmp) because I can't get the look I want precisely on the newer bodies like signature, same reason as some choose other than maitreya bodies. Would I try the linden body yes....do I expect it to be able to do what I want it to? No

Except I have played the sort of games those avatars come from games like skyrim and I have played SL and I know which avatar seems more natural and realistic. You have your opinion I have mine and as I said the pic I posted was one that had been altered for a profile pic not a direct screenshot. The fact remains that if you believe that an avatar that can be customised to work with a handful of preknown outfits and animations will work just as well for 1000s of unknown animations and outfits without multiple glitches then its you that is wrong. That is precisely why you need more polygons. Thankfully however it doesn't matter because I don't believe that the lab will go with digit's ideas for a moment

It doesnt matter which of the avatars. You are confusing avatars built to work with maybe 50 animations and 6 or 7 hairstyles etc where it can all be tested and modified before hand to make sure it looks right with avatars that have to work with 1000's of animations 1000's of hair styles etc. You are comparing apples with oranges. Your avatars go rip the mesh for them and then try them in sl and I would bet they fail big time in many situations. The point about the photo is because it wasnt a direct screen shot and had been softened and filtered. It was a profile pic that was taken and then put through gimp. In world I will still take my avi over any of those you posted. I also pointed out it was an older body and not one of the newer bento ones which have only become more realistic. You maybe happy with cartoons. Most people arent

In case you didnt notice that pic isnt a screenshot its a photo that has been altered I assumed you would realise that without me spelling it out. Still remains 3 people have rejected your initial avi suggestion none have spoken for it except you.

closer but still banana and you are forgetting static pictures dont tell the whole story. Lack of polygons is important in animations and its when you get the linear nature showing. Probably doesnt matter to you because you obviously dont care about realism that much judging by the first avi you suggested you keep posting avis from games....lets make it clear if I didnt care about realism i would be playing those games not sl. I play sl because it gives me a level of realism for social interactions I cannot get on games and yes I have played a hell of a lot of mmo's

Well I guess we will have to disagree your pics were an angular mess where the straight lines were blatantly obvious to anyone who hasnt poked themselves in both eyes. If that was the level of avi I suspect sl would have half its current user base by now. I certainly wouldn't have bothered with it. As I said if I want that low fidelity of an avi I will go play eso, tera or some gta

No it still fell short, learn to read maybe I said "If I wanted that low level of realism I would be playing some crappy mmo" note the bolded word please Low....this means less than

This is the level of realism I want and this bear in mind is a well out of date body so I wont go lower than it

You are just pulling my leg now aren't you. Sorry you score 0 for effort there. If I wanted that low level of realism I would be playing some crappy mmo

My answer is obviously that doesnt even come close to my mesh, over to the rest of you
