I saw this thread 2 days ago but decided to stay out for a while to see what developed. It seems to me that any merchant who decides to go somewhere else will soon be replaced so Renderosity will still have merchants BUT the quality items will be harder to replace. Most of the merchants who are leaving have worked at this for years & this is really going to hurt Renderosity especially when people like me who aren't merchants yet decide to start selling elsewhere instead of coming here. I've read this whole thread & right now the decision doesn't affect the ordinary merchants here but how long till it does? How long till someone decides it's a good idea to force people to make freestuff exclusive to Renderosity? I realise there are a lot of items already exclusive but would you want to be limited to only providing your freebies here?
