I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. This isn't about Daz vs Poser. This is about Figures, regardless of what platform you use, and it is my observation that some vendors like to elevate their figure of choice, while downgrading others, and stating their opinion as fact as to why their figure is better. I am simply pointing out that it doesn't hurt to look at the source before you consider their opinion. And being able to seperate opinions from fact helps too.

I don't think I misunderstood, because people assume that if a vendor answers a question regarding a figure, they're trying to sell a figure rather than their actual experience. The thing is, a lot of those same vendors sold Gen4 products to both Poser and DAZ customers for years and sold products on multiple sites. I sold products both on rendo and Poseraddicts before going to DAZ. I bought copies of Poser starting at 7 as well as buying the advance versions of DAZ Studio even before I started selling anything. So some of the vendors, especially the ones that make custom characters, had experience with working with mesh, making content, packaging etc. 

However, for a lot of people it was more an emotional issue, so it didn't matter what people were saying, it was simply a "Us vs Them" situation. And a lot of people chose to believe people that hadn't made one item, moved one vertex, or used the figure over someone who had simply because they were considered "a poser user". So when people said "consider the source", they really meant those who were a "poser user", whether they actually knew what they were talking about or not.

That's why there's so much bad information out there and users can't find the info they need now.
