    I'm confused what profit has to do with my post? I explained the process of making a model and why it's not just something simple. Having loads of cash doesn't make that process any shorter, especially in a large company where there are lengthy approval processes that slow up progress (on top of the efficiency of the designers/modelers).

    This is how the forum chad brain works. Money solves everything. To talk sense around here is to make excuses and to white knight for SE. The safest bet is just to ignore anyone that throws out the term "small indie" like that. By their logic, if the modders can have something ready hours after a patch, then SE must be lazy.

    Back to the real talk:
    Another thing we touched on in a previous thread was the fact that a lot of graphical work gets outsourced, which means a lengthier process with contracts and deadlines.

    Everything you said is answered by money.

    The most important takeaway from your quote was, experience and talent - guess what brings in experienced and talented coders, designers etc. and rosey warm hugs isnt that.

    Even beyond that is asset creation not something that can be outsourced? I don't need artisanal organic grass fed reaper weapons I just want more options.

    Options are coming through on a regular basis and there have been two bonus sets with the two ultimates we've had here. Stop acting like a victim of neglect.

    Assets have been outsourced, but they still have to go through the process of creating the final items in house, but like I mentioned earlier, this is a set that was produced a whole two years ago, when they likely didn't even know what the next jobs would be. The same thing happened back in ShB with GNB and DNC and it's likely going to happen with the next new job(s) in 7.0.
