"Well, sorry, but that's not the case.  The vast majority of customers don't even read or post to the forums. 

As with anything else, "money talks."  If the "majority" of customers really hated the installers that much, they wouldn't buy from DAZ.  And if DAZ noticed a significant drop in its revenues and sales, and traced that drop to the installers, you can bet DAZ would change those installers right quick. "

 

I do agree the majority do not read the forum and the point that people should vote with the money.  However, most people also do not tell you why they stop spending; they just stop or go elsewhere.  With tight profit margins you do not need the majority to stop spending either.

I do wish Daz all the best for the future but I have heavily reduced my spending there at Daz and increased my spending at Rendo and one of the reasons was the Daz installers.  It was however only one of the reasons I left another was the whole Genesis thing and the value of the P club at Daz.  I did ask whether there were any plans to improve/change PC on this thread but it was never answers so I assumed the answer is no.  I am now a member of Prime so it it not important to me but I did feel some other users might also be interested.

I am not knocking Daz, I do still buy from Daz but dread installing my meager purchases and I am sure my other dollars will not be missed.   As to whether I turn out to be part of a 'significant minority' only Daz can decide.
