adding a price barrier to using and understanding those features means that only present "advanced" users, extreme risk takers or techies, and moderately wealthy people who can spend money on a whim will ever use understand them.

imho, the cloth room is obscure to make stuff for.  when i first used it, i was surprised at how dead easy it was after all the hubbub about how difficult it was.  i thought i must have been missing something.  but i was using svdl's office clothes for V3, which are great. 

then i tried some less well made stuff that didn't really fit in the first frame (even when i used the included initial pose), that had bad cloth settings, and was generally problematic.  that was hard.  but it's also hard to use badly made conforming clothes that don't work with JCMs and create poke through the moment you pose them.  that doesn't mean that it's hard to use the Pose room.  it just means that the people who understand how to make clothes need to do certain work to make things usable. 

i have some good dynamic clothes, including yours.  but i'd say only the ratio of the communal effort put into making dynamic clothes to that of making conforming clothes is about 1:100.  and as great as some of the people working with dynamics are, i don't think any one person can make up for that fact.

imho, we haven't seen nearly enough experimentation with dynamics in general to say how hard or easy dynamics are  to use, rather than how hard or easy the content we've made for dynamics is to use.  and while tons of people stay out of the material room, almost all modern texture sets use some form of advanced materials.  

tiered pricing would make sure that the advancement in the material room (which happened because everyone could use those materials, even if they didn't understand them) would be the end of Poser tech advancements. tiered pricing like DAZ does, where the means to create costs more and use is free, would mean advancements would be proprietary and probably secret (hence the large percentage of D|S gurus who don't know how to build noded materials).  personally, i'd stop using Poser and switch to using Blender exclusively if there was as small and closed a group of people who really understood Poser as really understand D|S.
