Anything quality takes time. Stonemason takes months to work on one of his releases, and he is considered one of the top vendors anywhere.

Faveral is the same way. He might work on something for 3 months before it's release.

The real question though, is are we underpaid for the amount of work involved, and the answer to that is YES.

Customers expect more features, better rigging, improved textureing, ect because of 3d advancements,  however prices on many things have gone down rather then up.

And as a customer I do expect to see new features and advancements in products I purchase.

If you want to be seen as a quality vendor, you need to invest the time and effort to create high quality content.

Crap vendors are a dimne a dozen, and few make any money at this at all.. the top vendors however do invest the time into thier craftsmanship, and they do make a living doing this, because they have made a name for themselves.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
