Quote - I've been in that particular biz for far too long, and I very much know better. ;)

I've been in that busines since 1978, so you don't need to educate me.

Quick - define "not looking rubbish". Bad lighting can make a perfect mesh look like crap. Bad camera angles can destroy a certain facial expression.  Fact is, you cannot place an objective definition on compatibility beyond loading and being free from obvious defects (reversed normal, misaligned texture, etc).

I expect a limited form of quality where a render looks acceptable - this is nothing more than checking for reversed normals and misaligned textures. Acceptable means remotely looking like the promos

Quote - > Quote - I do not have these problems with Renderosity, RDNA

You may not, but others certainly have. I pointed out some rather famous examples a few years ago... the thread that did so was deleted outright here, a similar one managed to hang on for awhile at RDNA before getting locked, and the other, longest one may still be archived at the old PoserPros site. Many merchies went predictably ballistic. I received more than a few threats, flames, and other tear/rage-filled missives in reply. I also received a larger number of messages in encouragement, explaining that the problem was (at least back then) rather widespread. 

Funny thing is, I'm willing to wager that there are still examples today, and at all sites - just have to dig deep enough to find them. 

I am not interested in your personal feuds.

DAZ's quality for Poser content is getting lower which is not the case on the other sites
