I'd like to see an "Perfect Fit" event. Fitmesh clothing that doesn't require an alpha. You just wear it on the designated brand of body and it Just Works. The body never goes through the clothing. Even if you move and or adjust the body sliders.
Idk see big issue with fits. I mean if its something meant to be tight sure but a perfect fitted jacket for instance isn't so great since you wont be able to wear anything under it or mix it with anything else that didn't originally come with it. So basically you're stuck with whatever look is on the advertisement instead of being able to personalize an outfit.

Being a good friend and battling for 35 mins to get into a store to buy a limited edition item for a friend who is off "real lifing", clicking the "gift" option, inputting their name, being told "We found them, pay the vendor now" and getting sent the item instead of them!
After talking to the store CSR....nothing they can (or will) do, so I am out 3500L and have an item I didn't want.

Should have saved the chat because Im sure it states that in there and line it up with the transaction time. I'm surprised they couldn't do anything since it obviously didn't do what was intended and it's easy to verify what you are saying is true by the time stamp of the transaction. I likely wouldn't use that vendor again. I'd take it up with SL to be honest.

MP Relevance = relevant but no separation between new and old products hence why you commonly see new players leaving bad reviews because a product made in 2012 didn't fit their mesh body...
MP Newest = No relevancy
MP Best selling = weighted toward old products hence why you commonly see new players leaving bad reviews because a product made in 2012 didn't fit their mesh body...
Doesn't matter the glitch, MP will always be broken until they rework their search engine.

What I find super annoying is when a merchant makes a fatpack in it with a "bonus item" that is not available as a separate purchase. So he puts out 6 things that are all pretty mundane but one nice "bonus" thing that you can only get by spending $1500. And that's the idea. That item will never appear later as a sale or hunt item. You are thus pressured into buying the fat. So in those situations I don't. A fat should be a discount to encourage you to buy more than 2-3 as the 6 in the fat will be less than if you buy 6 outright. Adding an item ONLY in the fat is rarely an encouragement.
Another annoyance is when you are carefully shopping and trying to avoid $750 and spend $300, and all of a sudden discover because you weren't REALLY paying attention that 2 items now equal $725 -- with 4 more to go. Again: the fat should be a discount off the 6, but it's silly for the merchant to make it less than the cost of 2 or 3 of the 6, as the customer will either be annoyed and not shop again or just buy one thing.
Yes I feel like some vendors go for the juggler instead of going for the sale. Their prices should direct people toward the fatpack. Instead it's like their fatpack pricing directs people toward the singular purchase. I think some just base their pricing off what other people's prices are and don't have any actual matrices or anything to base their prices off of. I feel like if a fatpack were more reasonably priced they'd generate more sales and ultimately make more Ls than they would making minimal sales for high priced fatpacks. Some of the higher end vendors don't charge and arm and leg for fatpacks. And you won't see any of the higher end ones that do charge high prices at the top events because then their customers will see who the real big bois are and what they are charging.
I walked into a shop the other day after seeing their products demonstrated at a show. I went in with pure intentions to buy things. Then I saw fatpacks for 3100+. I mean. You know whats worth 3k+? A house, head and body ect. You know, things that you use every day. Not outfits you might wear on occasion. I ended up not buying anything at all.

I like that half my country is complaining about restrictions when if they simply wore masks and took this thing seriously we could have been opened by now. Or at least in the process of reopening. Instead it was a left vs right political thing. I just want to go back to work. Screw the left and the right.

I thought September and October were really good months for events. A lot of the quarterlies came out in those months and the creators really cranked out a lot of good products. I personally really enjoyed NeoJapan, Necrotize and Cyber Fair. I think expecting that type of level every month at the monthlies is a bit of stretch unless you want your favorite creators to stress out, get drained and quit. I like the monthlies for checking in on my handful of favorite's new releases and finding other vendors to add to that list. I treat the quarterlies more like Christmas for me.

I can mod real world things I buy so not sure how that is equivalent to how things work in the real world. As for MP I wish it was landmark only or at least stores had the option to be landmark only. I feel like MP just funnels you towards things you are looking for and not necessarily things you may be interested in. It's kind of like when you walk through any store, they are specifically designed for you to walk by things you may be interested in. That method is entirely missing in the MP.

When some of the most popular and high quality stores, eg. Blueberry charge 1299L for fatpacks, it does raise my eyebrow when I see anything much more than that. It would have to be super awesome to warrant it IMO.
I've also noticed some stores lie about the 50% discounts. They'll claim its 50% off, but when I check either after the sale/event or check their mp, it's not even. It just turns me off their store. I always check now. Just because they stick a 50% sign, doesn't make it true.
Ha yes I've noticed that a lot lately as well at events. It's deceiving. They literally mean it's 50% off the price of buying all 20 of their colors individually. It's not 50% off what they normally sell fatpacks for. It's kind of sad that it's at popular events too since I feel like it makes all the other participating vendors look bad as well. I mean if this one is trying to deceive me how do you think I feel about the people affiliated with them?

Peeve 1: Scantly clad child avatars with profiles that say they are not children but 18 years old. Ya I don't think I've seen an 18 year-old that look like they're 14 or younger. Nor have I seen any that were bruised. If I did I'd probably call the police. Which leads me to...
Peeve 2: Child abuse isn't a fashion statement. It's an ignorance statement.
PS: If you were in the same sim as me while *****ting around in your child av and caught a ban soon after. It was likely me that reported you.

LL should be adding subcategories to a lot of categories. As right now MP is so disorganized. That it ain't funny. It's worse than my inventory. Lol
Yes but they can add all the subcategories they want. It won't matter if vendors don't use them. Vendors check off what categories their products go into. It's not automated or anything.

I hope in their next huge MP update, they address this and other subcategories that need to be added.
I hope they fix the search engine as well. The issue with subcategories is that vendors need to put their products into them. A lot of them don't or just pick generic categories.

Ok, I don't know how the platform itself pronounces its name, but the newish alt-right / Conspiracy Theories R Us social media platform? The name is "Parler," which is from the French verb "to talk." It's pronounced "parl-ay,," NOT (emphatically not) "parl-er."
Similarly, if you pronounce "foyer" as "foy-er" rather than "foy-ay," I'm afraid that we can't be friends.
(And don't even get me started on "clique" pronounced "click" - UGH!)
Are you sure they aren't saying "parlor" /ˈpärlər/? I don't think I've ever heard an English speaker use the word "parler" in reference to talking. It's likely they are just misspelling the word "parlor". Which has no relation to the French word "parler". And we already have the word "parlay" which also has no relation to "parler".
Also "foyer" is properly pronounced foiər in English. It's in the Oxford dictionary and everything. Ya it derives from the French word foyer. But the French "foyer" derives from the latin word "focus". Using your logic you yourself aren't even saying it correctly.

I doubt anyone would bother unless to be malicious. But given in this day n age and with people locked in the house with nothing better to do, stupider S* has happened in SL.
That reminds me. I bought a nintendo the other day from the marketplace. With controllers and all. I also have another thing I can plays duck hunt on. So basically I can sit on my ass while watching my avatar sit on his ass playing duck hunt.
Man I love SL.

Ha, that just reminding me of a issue I had with a client, wanted some modern Disney background put in behind, I noped her right off my list after she said " Fine I will get my sister to do it", yea you do that lady.
As for SL I think my favorite is the event called Uber. Now I don't think Uber would have a case against them as "uber" was a common slang term used by gamers I believe from the late 90s to about the mid 2000s. I think they might take issue with the logo they use however as its not that different. Can't remember off the top of my head but I think only the font and case was different. I just think its funny because you'd think an event would want to promote unique, original things.... but...

As a professional photographer I have ran into those articles before researching copyrights, I have had to file several DCMA replies to several websites using my photos off Flickr. If you want to see parody branding in full glory here, go to the MP and look at the food n drinks category, if it is a real brand in RL, I can promise you will find it's parody in there..lol Thing is why would clothing and items in MP be safe from that? Why would even anyone get upset at finding off brand parodied clothing? Its beyond me. But I am pissed because my shoes are not real Converse in SL.. I want the real thing for my 400L damnit!
Ha. I used to work for a print shop that dealt with course packs for harvard and boston college. I've run into copyright issues quite a bit. For me the line was not as gray since I was getting paid to copy whatever the thing is but ya fair use is fair use. I would just tell the customer hey ya you can go copy it over there on our little office printer if you want but no I cannot run it through my 120k usd high production machine and make copies for you.

Well there is pretty solid guidelines and rules about copyrights, but Parody's, pretty much push the envelope in the subject. Only the courts can really put a end to offenders if nessary, just a matter of intent and how much money each end wants to spend or can afford. Most people in SL can't afford much past a attorney consultation on matters, that's what big company's count of, just a letter is all it takes.
These are what I dug up earlier. One is from Harvard the other Standford. Harvard is more about the law itself and Stanford describes a specific case. Pretty good sources imo.
https://ogc.harvard.edu/pages/copyright-and-fair-use
I think I would ignore the letter (I am assuming cease and desist) if I was merely using something. I would have pretty high doubts that they would follow through with it and file a DMCA. Even with me paying for a lawyer they'd would risk more by it potentionally establishing case precedent for such a small reward for them. Which for me would be just not using the thing I was using. There would be no monetary loses on my end paid to them.

Ya I know what you're saying. A lot of clothes these days have that but this gacha is from 2017. I think I bought my first mesh bod in 2017. Granted I did take a break from 2013 to 2017. But I am pretty sure autohides were not prevalent back then.

My god lol it's just a news article. Should be happy we're getting some sort of exposure. And who's to say BBC didn't get that 90k number from LL?
OP: Posts article about Secondlife.
Some person: Posts political rant about BBC. Claims others are easily offended.
Me: Wha? Let's be real. Who's easily offended?
