Been reading through this thread and I thought i'd throw a few thoughts into the fray myself.  As to  the use or non-use of resource kits and or custom morphs in character creation.  I guess my thinking is, so what?  

I think the only way to judge such things is on the overall quality of the final product.  Let the market bear what it will bear.  If a vendor puts out a lot of items that are "lower quality" then they will get a reputation for doing so and have a much harder time selling future products.  If a vendor puts out a lot of items of very high quality then too that reputation will follow them.. I don't purchase a lot of vendor material myself (very little out there that suits my personal application, but that's a long story...lol)  but from looking through the marketplace occasionally it's pretty apparent which vendors put out consistent, quality products.  I say let the marketplace sort it out, let the marketplace be the final arbitor of what is and isn't a quality product. 

Honestly what difference does it make if someone puts up 10 characters a month or just 1?  If they use a resource kit or do everything from scratch?   If the final product is worthwhile and people like it, use it, and are willing to pay for it then I really don't think it makes any difference whatsoever.  Think of it in terms of cars.. Sure, Mercedes Benz builds a really high quality product, but not everybody drives a Mercedes.  They have a certain market for there product, and those of us who drive Toyota's and volvos and such just don't buy Mercedes much, nor would we if Toyota and Volvo were forbidden from making cars anymore. That is in essence what were discussing here.

I say let Toyota build as many cars as they want as often as they want.. if they flood the market so what?  Eventually people who are tired of toyota's will simply stop buying them, and when they do maybe they'll be ready to consider shopping for a Benz instead.  Either way I think the best judge of the quality of a product should be the people who purchase it.  If they are happy with there purchase then mission accomplished.  If not, we'll they'll let you know soon enough and that will have a big impact on future sales as well.

Just my 2 cents worth
