Quote - All they do is change the name on it
and add a few more useless bells & whistles then change hands again
once they make their millions off it.

there have been some useful features added through the versions.
the firefly renderer, AO, dynamic cloth, the morph tool.

the problem is that these are small features that make it difficult to justify keeping up with each new version (although going from 5-7 would be worthwhile), and that by this point after so many versions the glaring issues like the archaic interface and rigging system should have been addressed. its simply not fair to just sit back on your laurels and expect content creators to make up for a poor rigging system through basically hacking the poser text formats.

like pjz99 implied, threads like this are the exact reason we get so little out of each poser version - because for every guy like me thats screaming bloody murder about rushed substandard content there are ten people rationalizing it and accepting it. there is no excuse for poor quality. none. spend another week morphing them or reworking them at the mesh level and make them look more human before releasing it. with the public perception of poser at stake, id definitely say its worth the effort.
