I agree 3kg is a bit much, but I also think it's really useless how limited it was. "I'll print another round in case the first fills up" of course it will, you're one of the most popular accent makers on the site?!
Can't complain about resellers when you operate like this, I guess. RIP to all the people in the thread who wanted a copy but won't be able to get it.
(OP of reply) Yeah. There was absolutely no indication that it was limited. Not to mention, before slots even opened, nearly all of the first runs were already filled up by their friends. Felt a little unfair. :/
I understand exclusivity is big in the skin + accent world, but I think this was handled poorly all around.
I'm just gonna try to keep trending towards talented newcomers who can only afford to print 5-runs. Scarcity *plus* a hispter quality. (In all seriousness, I'm glad there are a lot of great new artists coming in, and often their stuff is less constrained by the skin trends we see everywhere too.)
I just want to throw in that it wasn't really a "hype ping", they had already said multiple times before that when people asked that they would be limited, and pinging their shop was so that everyone would know when they would be released, giving people a better chance to sign up. And I can truly understand why they decided on limited runs, I can't even imagine how much work it is to coordinate skin releases when you have 20+ runs to submit and send out, these people do skins as their hobbies, they are allowed to deal with their sign ups how they want to.
yeah i don't understand why this specifically is getting people upset when other artists have done similar things, like ysdaar who also has released high-priced 10-20 prints, or ado who almost only releases customs via auction. i guess i don't get what is so reprehensible about this situation in particular.
I literally don't follow final anywhere except for being on their pinglist. That first ping was the first time I had heard of these accents so I wasn't aware of anyone asking about them previously, hence the hype-ping comment. and yeah, people have the freedom to do signups however they want, but I was disappointed, hence why I'm complaining about it on an anon comm and not in the public eye.

(Anonymous) 2021-08-20 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)hobbiesbusiness, they are allowed to deal with their sign ups how they want to.FTFY. And to the exact same extent that that's accurate, we're also allowed to dislike & bitch about those signups how we want to.
