"The problem with autofit is that people feel now they're entitled to magically reuse clothing from older generations for free when they never had that capability at all".

I take it you missed where I pointed out I had spent a lot of $ buying Xdresser licenses to upgrade mil2 clothing to 3 and 3 to 4. Out side of issues with blouse meshes; real easy to fix with Hex and the studio bridge to Hex, I had no other issues with Xdresser. 

"autofit just confused you about its purpose".

No you seem confused about DAZ's responcability as an application developer. DAZ might think not fixing it will force me to buy new clothes for next gen figures, the problem is it does just the opposit. I'm not going to invest in clothes I can't upgrade to the next figure. I bought a lot of clothes for V4 simply because I had the Xdresser license and could pretty well fit them to any figure I wanted. When Studio 4 came out with autofit and DAZ claims about it I bought a buch more V4/M4 clothes figureing to upgrade them to genesis. After working with autofit I bought no more clothes for anything.And if I buy anything for G2 it will be the iconic shapes so I can upgrade my figures clothes to it; but then you can trick around that

I take it you missed all of the clames DAZ made about what autofit was suposed to do? But I really shouldn't expect any better from DAZ, they have a long history of not living up to their hype.

"Frankly I don't understand the gross animosity you have on DAZ figures."

No all my animosity is directed at DAZ and their typical inept profit mongering way of doing things, not the figures. Being a chosen son of the DAZ regime means you have no idea what DAZ has put us redheaded stepchildren carraraest through. As in borking half the new features in C8.5 in it's release, then charging us for it. Autofit worked in the beta, does not now. I could fix badly fitted clothes by modeling in the assembly room in the beta, doesn't work now. And here it is going on a year later with no fixes for ether; and that is just what they borked in the release that I used regular. More over carrara is not a free app, it's $550 and DAZ doesn't seem inclinded to fix the bugs it introed in the release version.

I wonder if DAZ charged you $500 for Studio, then released it with half the new features not working, if you would be so forgiving?

" I'm doing less work to make each set more like a specific gender than Genesis 1 and I think my sales reflect that as they're way higher than Genesis 1".

Ok, that tells me all I need to know. Never mind.
