Look: DAZ is fine, but to me it feels like the difference between model making and "paint by numbers" or stick-on decals. Buy a scene, buy figures ( usually a Big -Busted V3 with a bad@ss sword) buy some props, and render. 

Like a TV Dinner.

     There is a bit more to it than that if you want your render to look like you didn't just throw shit together and hit render. I know that some people do that ... in fact a lot of people do that but  when they do it looks like that's exactly what they did. Hell I  did it myself when I first started (though minus the huge knockers thing,  that just was never my thing) but when you are trying to get an idea out you cant just use things that are completely pre-made you have to do some work yourself lighting, posing just right without using stock poses that are never quite right no matter how close they are to what you want, camera angle, composition and preferably a unique character.

         That said I also think DAZ could do a bit better at least with how they are handleing Carrara, a box version would be nice for those who desire them, I am not one of them since I like to have my product  available as soon as I have paid for it, besides I can print out my manual as I need it if I want so the book thing doesn't bother me but as I said it would be nice to have the option for a hard copy for those that want them.
