Hello There WA1D0 here again with some philosophical insight. No, No don't be frightened and go run away to the skin section..that's right stay right here...

I don't know about you but I stumble upon high ranked PMCers who produce...lets say at least, work that needs a little fixing. You know all the 2 color skins out there (oh god slenderman) that PMCers just keep putting out and out and, out..The total result of a PMCer producing so many skins is that of course one does start accumulating XP (over a period of time) and this results in high ranks. But why would someone want a high rank but choose to produce low quality work to get there? The truth is power has always been man's (and women's) craving. So when you see ranks and XP, you think power and when you think power, you think being above all others. So naturally you would put out horrible work to be ontop.
The funny thing is though that most people don't realize that on PMC rank and the XP you have doesn't matter at all (maybe to those new PMCers) but that in fact, you gain more power from producing quality work and gaining a positive reputation. This is obviously shown with several skinners that have pretty low ranks but produce amazing work (no naming XD). So to all those power hungry people out there, think again. Maybe just maybe quality over rank.

Many people do produce good-quality submissions. A high rank doesn't necessarily mean that they're the best. Some people are a very high rank and have only a few submissions

This definitely applies to submissions as well, recently I saw a wooden box with a triangle on top (literally, that's probably as best I can describe it) on pop reel.. Like.. Seriously? The interior was like 99% empty, only a wall of chests and 1 bed, like an oversized survival home with no work put into it and it had the word mansion pasted on its name. = That person's probably many, many levels higher now. let's keep pop reel for the high quality submissions guys, then again, popularity and high quality are two different things..

This blog is horrifyingly short.
Most people who produce kind of cruddy work but in large bulks use the excuse 'but its wat i liyk makeng'.

I agree, I reckon a blog about High level people get too much credit for bad skins could go on for EVER.

there saying you coulda written more about the subject but if you did you could maybe double it but anymore then that and your repeating yourself, the subject is to simple and thats why he made it short guys

if it was any longer then its just a drug out conversation repeating itself, i mean its all the same shitty work everyone loves great work everyone ignores, i sall a tree that looked like a small tree you took a screenshot of up close and it was actually 20 times bigger, and everyone thought it was the best thing ever

they said this is out of the box thinking while quaility work like super citys with detail and shops get like 10 diamonds in 6 months and then disappear into the clutter,, maybe 10% of good work gets reconized but thats probly because PMC is 80% 13 year olds and below

For the time I have been on PMC I have never ONCE seen anyone like this... I usually find low ranks such as I are new to PMC and new to skinning. Naturally a new skinner will not be able to shade or select a good set of colors. I have seen low ranked master skinners but as low rank I find the lowest atleast 25. By the looks of it this is only your opinion when it was thought of and many people have different skin opinions. As an example this is good but as a serious point I do not find it accurate enough. Sorry.

Thanks for your input. I was just philosophizing in the blog above not making any solid points but I appreciate criticism as it makes me grow as a writer and thinker. No need to be sorry.
