sadly nothing can suit the requirements of every one anyways... I was among the first to suggest individual room sorting... but giving it a second though... that wouldn't work for hosts, since room boosting will be useless. every one has a way they want things to work... and no matter what solution will come (if any at all) there will always be the one or one hundred who will come saying that this doesn't work for them and their needs.
-
How about user can favorite a couple of rooms, then those rooms when open go on top of the list for the user... with stars next to them or something... then below them x-gold boosted room and rest of rooms sorted according to Giz's desires
-
planned opening days are Sundays... but some Sundays I feel like visiting the beach... non 3dx one
-
yup one of the very few rooms that managed to really impress me!
-
they are charging as much money as major though... so it's normal for people to expect that their service would be on that level.
-
and who is to enforce that? yeah let's draft a contract and have the host, the builder and the DJ sign it and have virtual porn 3DD court stamp it gosh... you are fascinating indeed! in the reality of the situation though... Alivia said one thing correct... if you don't like it don't do it... and that's where we will lose a lot of the wonderful people who liked to share their stuff for nothing. Ana out

doesn't understand the point... makes up some point out of her mind. over explains it in wall of pink text... then say people over complicates things
-
the extra love is not for people who made the space it's for people who run it... so more incentive for builders to either keep their builds for them selves, or sell it for real money. my point is it's a nail in the coffin of sharing for the sake of sharing. keep in mind also... being a good builder doesn't mean good host... I for one was advocate of collaboration... a good builder makes a good room and shares it with a good host who can invite a good dj... now tell me...in such scenario, who should get the "extra love"?
-
I don't think there any thing in it for them at all. @Gizmo said they wanted to show some support to hosts... and I believe him... I just don't think this is the way to do it...
-
mmmhm... which is why I still believe that this donation idea is one of the worst ideas ever and that it should be scrapped and thrown to the trash where it belongs. stuffing money and finances in a whole side of the community that was based around sharing and good will... will just lead to ruining it.
-
awww.. I'll allow you to save face by this statement -
achieved your goal... that goal has already been achieved since yesterday because of the update, dear.. and you didn't have anything to do with it! and yup superior not in sense of building prowess ms "French gallery"... but in sense that they are builds that offer same things that yours do... while they are free no need to pay a penny for them so yeah superior!
-
you are welcome dear... I am sure you feel super lucky that a superior builder shares her stuff for free... just so you can use it to earn donations
-
the rooms I shared are still up for download dear... and had I wanted to prevent people from using them to earn donations, I could have removed their download links in a matter of seconds. see now those are free rooms... that people can use to earn donations... unlike yours, well most of yours...
-
May I suggest to add a way to have a toggle switch to make room files editable or uneditable. I think that way it will solve builders problems of having their rooms used for profit... since you can only put that link through WE.
-
who said that other builders do not? you are the only one who claimed other builders are not allowing anyone to use their rooms and get donations speaking for other builders now, Ali? not only that but saying false things on their behalf?
-
all people who shared rooms, shared rooms in an environment where you can't profit from rooms... not their fault that 3dx decided to do this update or any of that... and anyone who says anything other than that is the idiot!
-
About your blog, yeah I know all that... I am saying that in my eyes, that is how good artists make money... just minus the donate part As for Patreon... Okay, dear... I am not wrong though... I know that what I am saying is right... and I know that you think that what you are saying is right. I also don't have the inner need to convince you of my opinion and I am sure you feel the same as well. So let's agree to disagree and accept that there can be different opinions.. and leave it be I didn't say that there is not... but in the end it's a stepping stone platform... and I think there's no argument about the fact that the word -donation- means giving something for charity out of the kindness of one's heart, not paying a fair price for a product.
-
lol.... sorry Ali, but here we disagree completely... Patreon is a platform for begging! Donating is giving charity, it's not paying an amount of money for a service provided. Patreon is a platform where someone who knows that their service or their product isn't worth selling, but they put it there and ask for "Charity" from people with good will. good digital artists have deviant profile and twitter profile where they put clear and solid asking price for their work and service, not donation. (like you did with your blog spot at first until jealous people pressured you to change it into donate) And yeah Wildlife Devs beg...

I might have money today, but I might not have it tomorrow... shit happens to everyone, Ali. look my point is... I understand what you are saying that some good can come from it and I believe you... but I see that a lot of bad will come from it aswell... and imo the bad is a lot more than the good. like if moderation feature gets incorporated finally, what's stopping people from not kicking a person out of the room if they didn't donate? what's stopping people from not spamming local in their room for donations? I know you are a smart girl, Alivia... smart enough to see the ugly side that can happen from this.
-
yup everything is very simple, Alivia... but, if I wanted to make money out of my builds, I really wouldn't have needed to either make patreon or a blog to beg for money... I had people coming up to me and offering money for builds many time... and every time I refused right out... why? because I do this all for pure fun... and I have a real job to make money from... and wouldn't want to turn my free fun having time into a second job and for scraps! also... what if the person who wants a room is actually maybe a good dj or host, but can't afford to make a donation or pay for the room? (ofc the attitude here will be -screw you if you can't pay-) I am with you when you said that you'd love to donate to a good dj or builder or host, cause it's in fact good will... but while you have good will... a lot don't and a lot will find ways to abuse such feature... keeping money out of it and keeping it for sake of fun is well more fun... if some need to make money out a game, they can do like you, setup their own thing.

So basically the aspect of the game that was revolving around good will, no profit involved, sharing and collaborating for the sake of fun is on it's way to get buried. Hard to see a future where a good builder and a good host can collaborate on a room where each do what they are good at now, unless they have to iron out a way to share royalties. A lot of builders like to share their stuff cause sharing has fun aspect to it, I think it's gonna be harder now to share things for free when others can use it to profit. Not to mention the side effects: -Soon finding local chat getting bombed by "if you like the room please donate" or people using the promised room moderating tool to extort donation else you get kicked. -Room bumping wars are gonna get hotter than ever, since if you can profit from it sure as hell you gonna want to spam the fuck out of the bump button to keep your room on top. you can say a lot of that is gonna be moderated and people wont be allowed to spam local with ads for donation and you gonna ban hosts, but yeah what good will that bring? People can defend it all they want... and try to make logic and reason for it all they want... but adding this option is gonna affect the landscape of the game badly... if some can't see it now, you will see it soon. hopefully this idea gets axed soon while it's still "experimental"
