Think of it...how many technical aspects (and workaround hacks) in Poser have been discovered by the good people of Daz? Not many. Most if not all have been discovered by folks in the community. Easy pose, geometry switching, MAT pose files to name a few...

There are a lot of great minds among those who use Poser, a lot of talent. If there's just one place making all the figures that get used by the greatest number of people, then the technology is driven by them and only them. Even if a newer, easier way is discovered and Daz doesn't conform to it, the newest ideas die right there just by virtue of Daz's popularity. It's not anyone's fault, it's just the way things are. But look at some of the vendors who release products to fix the Daz figures joints for instance? Daz never fixes them themselves. An extra product must be purchased to fix something that should have been addressed long ago with successive upgrades (I've noticed the joint peculiarities still exist in the kids). It's time for a change perhaps ;o).
