@ chriscox
I share your grief. :(
Whilst I mostly rely on freebies, and don't buy much stuff, I'm sick of downloading "morphs" that are really just MOR poses (for morph packs I don't have). Just the other day I downloaded a vampire "character" for M4. The thumbnail looked great, a really fearsome monster! When I extracted the package it was just a texture and MAT pose, not even dial spins. It turned out that image used for the thumb was someone else's MOR pose, and yet the texture was listed as a character.
Standards have slipped way down, but I don't see any signs of the peasants revolting, so I guess we can expect the standards to slip still further. All the time I see posts here like:
"I just bought Poser last week, and made a morph [dial spin] for V4. Can someone tell me how to make an INJ, because I want to sell my crappy morph and make a lot of money. Oh yes, one other thing, is there a way to move the camera?"
There is nothing wrong with MOR poses, and nothing wrong with textures on their own. But they should not be represented as something that they are not. And if you charge for it, isn't that called fraud?
