...no one is asking for a reduction of anything actually people are asking for more not just the same mesh ...
...I know I am only one person with one wallet so big deal if I stop buying. ..I went and looked in it. Sadly only about 5 to 6 wishes posted there, and the last one was back in May. I don't think the wishes of one person matter that much, as you allude to yourself. However, if one could show that 200 people wanted the item, that might be different. I also think your point of not rebuking those that offer the same thing over and over again, but rewarding those who offer something new and desired is more inline with traditional market theory.
I saw yesterday where CP said it was going to send out a survey to its customers asking for inputs for its store. I think Renderosity might do the same here and ask about desired new content. This seems so straightforward to me, just a part of market research, I can't imagine why vendors don't just ask what people want. Maybe it's because the nature of the vendors here are that they are individual artists first and salesmen second. They tend to make what they want and mistakenly believe others will want it too (the "my long straight hair will be better than those other long straight hairs" kind of attitude). That would explain a lot of the redundancy.
Thanks
I think you're right ;o).
