Quote - It's also misleading for someone to see a figure in an outfit and hair and props and you buy essentially skin, and get nothing else with it. Not everyone is aware of this fact.

I second this one!

Currently there doesn't seem to be a rule of having one promo image that is bare bones showing what is in the package.

So many vendors add so much to their promos, and do so much post work that you can't tell what is in the package unless you view the readme file.  Not many people care to read a text file, or pick through a bunch of text on a bunch of images, or should they have too,  in order to figure out what is in the package, only to find out that 90% of what they are seeing in the images is "artistic license" and not included.

Not so long ago I bought a package that had some second skin textures. In all of the promo images, the figure was  shown wearing a gorgeous chocker/drop style necklace, even the ones showing the second skins. No where in the advertising did I see that the necklace was in fact a prop and not part of the second skins.   I wrongly assumed that the necklace was part of the second skin because I had not seen that necklace. I even asked on the forums if anyone knew what necklace that was. No one did.  So I bought it only to find out that the package was a morph, a texture and second skins, but that the necklace was not part of the second skin and was in fact a prop.

I realize that competition is steep and that vendors want to put their best face forward when presenting their packages. However, there should be a rule that at least one of the promo images shows absolutely nothing but what is included in the package so that people can readily see what they are buying.
