Agree as well. May be even not decline at all, but "old" vp designers draw less items, and relatively "new" designers are underestimated by players. Looking through ppl blogs, the amount of new created not in game sets is high enough. May be players just got used to typical style of some designers and now want the items created in that style, not diferent ones

We can't accept low quality sets even if it means we are running on empty quickly, and also a lot of sets is just sets thats sent to teams so we (dt) can't use them anyway. Auctions are also not prioritized (because honestly ppl don't care abt it) so it usually gets less wanted sets than mcw, dm, hof n stuff. With the solovey thing, she is not required to make the higher tiers of mcw anymore im pretty sure? But she is usually put there because, idk its not my decision, but because she sells well on other servers probably, and she has a lot of recolors

Yes, only irl tho

Suggestion -
FT re-vamped but not much
seems to have changed
example being this thread
Is it possible to liven things up a bit
with a few contests?
Something such as recreating
the current auction set using items
from your wardrobe
OR create a fit using only items
by the featured designer
and best look wins 1 auction set

If FT is going to host competitions I don't think it should be around creating looks
though the ideas could be great for other teams

FT dont make any comps, i remember when i was in the team i got the text “this is a team where you create post and having a conversation with other” aka FT doesn’t make any comps since we have SMT and ET to do it

Yes exactly, but since they are refreshing the team and thinking of doing comps apparently, they should be comps that take place within the forums like those quizzes that smt or idk which team do, rather than outfits

The thing is what do we mean as "low quality", as long as there just was told that ppl would want better quality of the auction sets. Once more, I disagree that actual sets are not really qualitative. They just aren`t popular. Actual auction sets mostly don`t go over 50k pd / some hundreds cr. If the meaning of auctions is to decrease the amount of cr (and especially pd) in game to avoid hyperinflation, the sets should trade for much higher amount of cr and pd

Yeah but we don't have sets good enough to get sold for more than they currently are during auctions

Bump

As always, I want to talk about the actual auction. I just won pd set. Sorry to the one who I outbid. I payed 70k pd now. Interesting, will next sets be cheaper or more expensive?
