auh, i see what you're saying. until fairly recently, i wasn't truly online for about 7-8 years, only occasionally posting from a public PC, but never buying anything, so i'm a tad ignorant about what has transpired before now. however, just quick number crunching told me that Prime is not a good deal at all. it also took me a while to understand all the various ways the MP forces vendors to price things, which coupons work, blahblah. i've since given up, for the most part, purchasing from this site due to things surrounding pricing and the poor search engine in the MP. it's disheartening to continuously read how unhappy folks have become regarding this site as a whole since the changes - i can relate to so much of it... sigh...

the thing with Prime is that i feel as if TPTB are trying to manipulate me into joining through various triggers, and the more i feel that way, the harder i dig in my heels in opposition as i value the feeling of freewill far more than i do money, or saving it...

You hit the nail on the head, Prime is not a good deal at all, but it used to be before the changes. It also changed at a time when Rendo did all the changes to the site and we all know how well that went. Most people who were unhappy have got over it and moved on to other sites taking their spending with them, which could be why Rendo is spinning in ever decreasing circles chasing customers.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
