The Master Debate

Lets all quit beating around the bush..

from WinCustomize Forums
With any luck, the title of the post brought forth'e a few snickers and thus led you here to "Parcipitate" in this discussion. So, here we go..

No beating around the bush part:
Gef just uploaded a new Master DX Theme and is beginning to take heat because of it.
Accusations are running amok concerning Master submissions now.

The 2 sides of the argument (this here is the debate part) are:
A) " Since so and so reached a Master status, they don't put out anything for free anymore "

B) " Who cares, they have worked hard for that right and the end result will in turn dictate weather or not they made a correct decision to do this."

I myself see both sides of the coin on the issue and am kind of in the middle at the moment. Honestly, I do get a little dissappointed when I see exclusive Master content by someone though. On the other hand, it's not a bank breaking investment to buy them either. Hell, I just bought World of Warcraft, plus the expansion pack for $60, and will be shelling out $15 a month to be able to use my $60 initial investment.

The end conclusion... I don't really care! If I like it, and want it, I will buy it.

Huh?? I can SELL my stuff now??? Cooool!!!!


In the hierarchy of things a Sir is supposedly higher up than a master....now all I have to do is come up with something worth selling, I guess.

Seriously, good on you BoXXi, and all those who have attained 'Master' status.

i WAS joking of course...... i DID know that I can sell stuff now, I've just never made anything yet that I thought I could charge for. Maybe if I can come up with a REALLY good Xion skin I could sell that for a couple of dollars. We'll see................

Starkers: I speet on your lousy "sir"........ I don't need no steenkin' title!

Unless they bring out a "God" title......

I was offered that one but turned it down cos I wanna rest on the sixth day as well as the seventh.

Besides, it comes with too many responsibilities and not enough appreciation...there's always someone complaining it's raining too much...or not enough where there's a dry spell. No thanks, I'll just stick with wot I got.

Yep, that's a distinct possibility....oh, the imagery.....now I'm tossing up whether or not that'd be fun to watch...being as how my spine is becoming more like a pretzel with each year.

but may main point here is that you should be able to sell your Skin and not have to be a Master Skinner.
Any skinner can sell any skin they want . . but only masters can do it here. 

A skinner won't find a better marketplace than here to start off with.  WC is one of the de facto centers of skinning on the web now.  A skinner that spends time investing in this place gets repayed by a really good place to market their stuff.

Thats exactly right and I speak as someone who sells both on my own site and here. I can assure you there's a marked difference in volume on WC compared to anywhere else. Of course..they get their cut but its still far more.
