@ ElZagna -
There is a python script to disable Reflect_Lite_Mult but I can't remember who wrote it, or if redistribution is allowed.
That said, it shouldn't really be necessary, since vendors should take care with their material setup.
Back to the topic...
Presentation counts for a lot. A logo should be readable at least. There are several products with atrocious logos and eye watering colours on the product text. Make your thumbnails distinctive and striking but at least give a clue to the product.
Good honest promo renders are a must. If a thing is postworked in any way, the vendor should point out that fact, even if it's just comping in Photoshop.
A skin texture should show all the texture. There's at least one texture set in the MP which does not conform to guidelines because it doesn't show front back and side views. For the life of me, I don't know why it wasn't rejected.
Promo pics should be viewable. Not everyone has a high contrast monitor. Some of us still use CRTs. I have lost count of the images I can't see because they're too damn dark. I could edit them in Photoshop but why bother? If a vendor can't be bothered to show their product off well, why should I bother to buy it?
Finally, a real pet hate of mine...
Typos, spelling errors and grammatical errors. A lack of care in your copy indicates a lack of care elsewhere. I don't care if English isn't your first language; get someone to proof read and/or correct your spelling and grammar, if necessary. For native English speakers, there is absolutely no excuse. If your text is shoddy, your product is probably shoddy, too.
