Mastermindsro,
i think your post should be front and center on this.

You guys are just giving us the "power" to post enhancements tickets to the trac in order to "ignore" them completely.. then make some custom mods to sell in private.. This is very motivating for ME (at least).. I like that mod by Aramis.. You should give him some points and gifts..

As we were moving into Beta 7.2 i noticed that Aramis was selling mods for Dolphin 7, which is quite absurd, since it has see more been emphasized that these Beta Releases would not have a patch or an update or upgrade of any sort from Beta to RC. Not only is he selling or attempting to sell mods that actually have no working platform, he has increased his price basically 300% from any of the other mods he has released. Now understand, I respect Aramis, and AntonLV, but this is truly a conflict of interest. As you state MasterMinds, as a pundit you are given the privelege as they have it to be able to post to trac, so you post to trac, and the ticket goes unanswered, then you see your suggestion for an enhancement to the core release, offered over on expertzzz for sale.

Andrew, do you really think it is beneficial that your employees who are supposed to be working on getting an RC out the door, utilizing their time for creation of mods that do not even have a platform. I dont have a problem with the free market, and free enterprise, that is not my complaint, my cheif complaint is that you are offering these mods to an uknowing, unsuspecting community, that once they purchase the Dolphin 7 mods, they are basically put a disadvantage, for several reasons;
1. most likely, anybody who would purchase a D7 mod at this juncture, clearly does not understand Beta releases.
2. with this lack of knowledge, these people will from the edge of excitement pay another individual to install this purchased mod, onto a platform that is non-functional as a production environment
3. when RC does come out, this same person will have to pay again for the installation.

I believe it to be morally wrong that you would allow these programmers that are working on the core product to release modifications that are clearly directly related to the work that they are doing while on your clock. so we see all of these Mods hitting the market, but we cant see any RC's hmmmm, wonder why that is. Are these programmers monitored, or are they working remotely. because it seems to me, that an awful lot of time is being used for self gain.

I dont complain about much on here, because i believe it to be just what it is. What i also find appalling, is why are these mods that are available on expertzzz, not available on boonex.com/unity?

the problem with that is that there is no functional search feature on expertzzz, these mods as they are submitted should be set in categories, and be searchable, not just splaid out across the internet.

well i am done with this rant.

guys, quit with the mods for D7, get an RC on D7, then you will have the time to work on your mods.

If you think i am out of line on this post, then by all means, please let me know why that is.

It has already been declared that you and your staff are immune from any and all rules on this site, but i would like to inquire, do you consider this same immunity for social morals, business morals, and overall integrity of the presentation that is being portrayed when there are mods being released for D7, when there is no D7 platform?

I don't know why anyone would think you are "out of line" on this post - you made your point persuasively and politely.

caltrade thank you for your kind words. you know as well as i do, from the time you have spent here as a community member that things dont always go "our" way, and that is expected when you are serving the masses, but this has got to stop with the beta releases, and the empty promises that we are "getting close". well we all know "close" only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades, not software releases.

yes we have all sat idle with great anticipation, D7 is going see more to be a wonderful thing, however, it should not be released prematurely, as we have seen so many of the previous versions done, just for the sake of having the release.

Boonex, keep working on it, when its ready for RC, then we will all be here waiting on it just as we have been waiting. I would rather wait for something stable, than to start working on something buggy and quirky, only to have to apply patch after patch.

Regards,
DosDawg
