Stopped? More like stomped. 

You know anything about 3 card monte? There is usually an acomplice{shill} in the crowd that will bet and win just to ge the crowd stirred  up. This has been carried in to marketing. Look at all those "demos" at the mall. If some one steps up, just loves the item, and seems to ask just the right questions, then buys the product, they were a plant.

Would I put it above DAZ to do something similar? Hell, I don't put anything past DAZ any more.

None the less, even if people had C6, 7, or 8, they would still have questions about the new "features" in C8.5. I don't see many quetions about those ether. Well one or two, and I could have helped; Having put C8.5 through my work flow for two years. And you have seen the few gripes I had about it.

I think the issues are many surounding it. Starting with the overly long beta, and running right through to the way over priced final release. 

Along the way we got some nice tweaks, a few very useful changes, but have have lost some of the ease of functionality.

I would have liked to retain the choice of morphs by catigory or search. I hate search, you know I can't spell worth a flip, and half the time I don't know the name of the morph I am looking for.

Hate that they moved the 0 pose 0 morph buttons. I know they needed to be change for the new options, but they could just as easily been dropdowns in the general tab as to actually move them to a different place and catigory.

When I got Dawn I learned quick that the autofit needs an off button.

I want DS tools and the ability to save out as a DUF from carrara. I don't need the DUF out, but the tools would be most welcome. Seriously if you are going to charge me for the ability to use content at least give me the ability to work on it.

I know it sounds bad, but at the top of my list for C9 is FRONT SCALE. This has been a bain of carrara's for me for quite some time. I get a crick in my neck from sloutching in to read the type. I have it set to the largest easy to read common font, it helps, but.....

My second one still has nothing to do with new features. I want to see some spit and polish, make things work smoothly, fix a lot of odds and ends little annoying bugs. And more feature tweaks/improvements. Ya, so you can do a tripple back flip, in the right shoes, wareing the right clothes, when you feel good, and there wind is blowing northeast with an updraft.

And I'm not worried about new features, my list hasen't changed for 3 builds now
