  1. Why can't merchants just put things up on sale normally? What's with the gimmicks and pretend "rarity". Just make stuff and put it up for sale - if it is good people will buy it. No need for the gimmicks,
  2. Routing all sales through the marketplace is a very poor decision.... 1) Fees - it will force merchants to pay the LL fee for sales they previously did not have to pay it on hence all prices will rise 2) Single point of failure. The marketplace has maintenance so should all commerce in SL grind to a halt as a result? 3) There are alternatives.
  3. In my humble opinion there should indeed be 2FA but it should only be triggered when logging in from a different IP address from the one LL previously had a logon from that account on (and at a minimum of 30 days too just to keep tabs). 2FA should not be mandatory - if people do not wish to take the extra steps to secure their account then they can elect not to and then deal with the consequences. There should not be a bonus award in L$ for having 2FA active as that will get abused by multiple account creators. Basically - provide the framework to secure the account and payment info for that who wish to use it and then let people make up their own minds.
  4. I am a somewhat insecure person and sometimes people say and/or do things which do upset or offend me. However I am also an adult and use the block or derender to solve my immediate issues thus starving these people of the attention that they seek. If only more people did this then there might be less of these threads.
  5. Sometimes I'm really glad that I do not smile all the time in SL - it just looks scary and so false.
  6. I'm pretty sure "real models" do not provide value for money - neither for the model nor for those who may want to hire them. As others have stated, a model would need to have several mesh bodies (as well as heads for hair/makeup etc.). That's not cheap. A content creator will no doubt already have the mesh bodies and heads that they create content for - either on themselves or alts. So using their own resources makes sense. Due to the permissions system a model essentially gets free stuff each photoshoot when they work for a content creator - expecting to get paid on top of that is probably asking a lot. Unlike real life - a model in SL requires no skills at all - just an injection of L$ and shopping. Literally anyone can be a model so if you want to make it you have to be something outstanding and that means a heck of a lot of work. Honestly I'd say it's just not worth it.
  7. I seem to recall they had a news article about these pictures and a video of how they were made - I thought it odd at the time they would use real life shoots to advertise a virtual world.
  8. With regards to the forums and your name - log out from the forums and log back in and that will make it change.
  9. That laptop is total overkill for Second Life really - providing that you are able to remove the bloatware that will probably come preinstalled then it will be more than adequate for running SL but the FPS you get will depend on how pretty you want things to look and how badly optimised all that mesh stuff is people are wearing. I average anything from 15 to 80 fps on populated sims - again it all depends on the mesh stuff more than anything. Not sure what type of Mac you have and whether or not you use Mac specific apps so only you will know if it makes sense to make the switch. An alternative to potentially wasting a heap of money would be to create a Bootcamp partition and seeing how well SL performs running under Windows on your Mac.
  10. @emilia Avindar I'd advise you to raise the outfit issue in the Firestorm Support Group - it may be a case of missing inventory like @Chic Aeon said and that will involve manual copying of files but the support group has really great step by step guides that anyone can follow as long as they read them well. If it is not solved by the missing inventory fix then it could well be a bug in Firestorm that will need to be raised.
  11. You will generally get better performance from the LL viewer than from FS because FS has extras in it that the LL viewer does not have - all those nice to have things that you will miss. Rather than continue bashing FS maybe you can turn it around and try to constructively make it better by running comparisons with exactly the same settings for sky, draw distance etc and then if there is noticeably significant differences raise (or add to) a JIRA on the FS site?
  12. In a way yes but remember Mr Creep did it in private whereas OP took it public when it was not needed.
  13. Have you done a search in your inventory - once you list an item (especially a no copy one) then it is moved to a new location within your inventory.
  14. Never ever take what is said in IM to local chat without the express permission of all involved - not only it is exceptionally rude (no matter what was said in IM) but it is also against the ToS and potentially could lead to an abuse report against yourself. Just mute and get on with your Second Life
  15. You should consider going premium and buying yourself (via the land auctions) 1024sq m of land - you can get some real cheap deals and it's ideal if you want a skybox because it does not matter what garbage is at ground level. Considering the premium fee includes giving you 300L$ a week it's pretty hard to find any rental that comes close. That and you have total control over your land - no landlord. You can grant access as you see fit.
