buyers and artists become really frustrated if they have to wait 2+ weeks for their accent/skin which is AGES in internet time
It really is. I've had people back out of preorders because of the wait time- 2+ weeks is long enough for folks to fall out of love with the dragon they might have planned for the accent. I'm not a popular/rich UMA artist, so I don't have the means to preorder them myself, which puts me in a tough situation of being annoying and bumping my thread, which only lowers interest because there isn't demand.
It really makes it hard to do well in the UMA market.
