Does anyone care about texture art anymore?
I mean, obviously, some of you do, as there are a few [B] threads on the art and textures board, but I'm looking for answers on a wider scale. Being a texture collector, I am very disappointed and frankly a little pissed off at the lack of any good art being produced. I understand it is the result of older artists moving on and not enough new players being introduced to fill their shoes, but I've also noticed most people don't seem to care, and here's why:
I hardly see any users in-game anymore that wear full, quality texture sets. The art and texture board is ridden with the same people producing the same low-quality work, and whenever something good is actually posted ( a rare occasion), the thread gets flooded with lowball offers or the thread garners no posts at all, no high offers. This can't be the result of nobody having the TC to buy, there are many rich players. Lastly, there is no buzz over art anymore. I don't see anyone really speaking out about the dead status of the art community, and I don't see many people trying to change it.
My question is, does anybody care all that much? Should we just let this aspect of the game die?
