New Year, New Sales Thread: Report Issues Here 4 "Reporting Only"

Ron Knights

I don't like things too complicated. I don't want to work to save money. I keep my personal life and relationships simple.

I don't bother with complicated math. I don't want to buy something I don't want just to save money on something else.

I don't find new stuff all that appealing. So stop trying to force me into buying new stuff.

The "Wish list" sales have quite often only included selected items. Maybe we had one or two sales where everything was on sale.

I'm very aware that my computer system has been deprecated. My old video card has trouble working with stuff already.

I've actually decided to concentrate more on older content that is less demanding on the system. That's why I have an older version of DAZ Studio installed along with DAZ Studio 6.

Now I just need to remember how to protect "4.2" so that DIM doesn't rob me of that old rendering system. (Sorry my mind is a bit overtaxed today. So I forgot the name.)

In the meantime, I've been sharing my DAZ-Created comics and poems and stories with my friends. They love them.

Most of my friends don't have computers or do the Internet. So I print out my stuff.

I've had two printers die recently, So I should save my money to replace the printers. I want a Brother Color laser printer.

I see the sale now, but STORE WIDE should mean as  it means at the other store that shall remain nameless, STOREWIDE.

Words in ads mean what Daz Sales says they mean. They've been saying Store Wide when they really mean "a large percentage of the store" for several years now (aka as long as I've been around).

Store wide can simply mean selected from all products, rather than being a specific list of PAs or a specific category of items. If it meant the entire store was discounted that would be a different set of words.

The words if everything in the store was included in the sale would literally be "everything in the store."  As for "storewide," the literal textbook definition of storewide, per Meriam Webster https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/storewide is:

storewide

adjective

store·​wide ˈstȯr-ˈwīd 

: including all or most merchandise in a store

a storewide sale

That said, there are, by DAZ's own count, 69,049 items currently for sale in the DAZ store, while the linked WIshlist category contains 31,957 items, and it's hard to argue that 31,957 isn't significantly less than half of the total store inventory.  So, basic math would indicate that the use of the term storewide is pushing the definition at the very least, especially when a lot of us are comparing at our own wishlists and the wishlist selection DAZ links to and finding that the actual proportion of eligible wishlit items is running significantly less than that... in my own case 70 items out of over 350 items in my real WL... while a number of the artists in our real wishlists seem to be missing from the wishlist sales list.

But whatever, we've gone around on this issue who knows how many times now, and DAZ is still gonna do what DAZ is gonna do, rules of math and the English language not withstanding...

"Daz maths" is not usually an issue, errors aside (which almost always get fixed). Words are more open to interpretation.

Still on that STOREWIDE means STOREWIDE - if not then it's a LARGE PART OF THE STORE - they should be able to find a catchy name - but STOREWIDE is just that, the whole store. I'm from Sweden, but have we learn English from the third grade, and w my understanding of the words storewide - it's the whole damn store. Sorry for the damn. Just feels strongly about it. I respect that Daz 3D has another view of the word of course. I just respectfully disagree. 

The feeling when it IS storewide, can't beat that.

But even w that, I still shop more and are around the Daz store more. Sorry again for discussing things in the report thread. Feel free to delete. I'll make possible more posts about this in the discuss thread.

And btw - I'm a Dazoholic, even w the buggy sales and everything.

As a native English speaker, storewide doesn't always mean the entire store. Not just a Daz thing. Sorry.
