First, the market is becoming saturated. How many loincloths or wizard robes do we need? How many goatee face textures or voluptuous morph sets? I don't need another bar scene. Second, we're becoming jaded and more demanding. When I started in Poser a couple of years ago, and I bought any piece of male clothing, and a lot of female clothing I could find. There wasn't much to choose from, and every little bit helped. Now I want good quality. I won't even consider anything that doesn't have a good promo pic of the product (sorry William, your hair may be great, but I can't tell from the promo pics). I want morphs. I want it to fit as many characters as I can get. The GAF set by Dodger at Daz is great for that. Third, the trend seems to be "Themes". That's nice, I guess. But how many themes can we go through before we start repeating. How about a casual clothing or formal clothing theme? How about everyday clothing variations? It took me almost 2 years of constant begging until I finally got a pair of white Y-front style underwear for a male figure. The brokers sometimes don't hear what we tell them (I'm guilty of it too). Fourth, with more and more people getting past the Poser learning curve, they want to start creating clothing and scenes and textures and props themselves, and making a little money to pay for all the stuff they've bought. A lot of these hopefuls are big on hope and short on experience and talent. They put some VERY simple stuff up for sale. If I see one more cross for Jesus to hang on for Good Friday, I'm going to go to the Passion and root for the Romans. A cross is two boxes stretched. Why would anyone pay good money for one? This kind of stuff can fill the MP and make it harder to notice a good item (again, William, I didn't even see your hair in the MP until I read your thread). However, that said, there are some great new products once in a while. The great brokers still turn out great work. Quim's still releaseing textures. Wushumah still makes clothing. Dodger does a little bit of everything. LQ still has some very nice pose packs. Lady Littlefox continues her character sets. I could go on and on. But, they release slowly to make sure the quality is superb. They take their time to produce the very best. After all, they aren't supermen like Steve Shanks (how in God's green earth does he make so much so fast?). Whew...
