Why would anyone go straight to the market place to look for an item they want? And if you bothered to actually read the thread instead of skimming, you'd see -- maybe -- that my gripe isn't with people asking for freestuff per se but almost adamantly refusing to do the work themselves when it's something relatively easy or when it's something that they could actually put to use later on. The money is irrelevant. The fact that there are people out there willing to give away their stuff is irrelevant. What is relevant is this, "Oh, I need such-and-such model, so someone just give it to me, huh?" attitude that I see around here sometimes. Not always, but more and more. Don't like it? Tough. I was under the impression that part of Renderosity was to learn, not just snatch and grab whatever you can for free and say to hell with anything else -- and that goes regardless of how many images you have in the galleries. Frankly, I doubt you want to hear my opinions on that issue, trust me.
