I'm more than happy to spend my money on a site that I love... I'd just like to know when I'm going to have to expect a bit of delay with an item. Waiting two-four weeks for an evolution isn't such a big problem for me. But when it gets to be more, I'd really like a heads up so I'm not worrying about my investment.
There haven't been any EIs that I dislike, which is why I've gotten to be a bit impatient about waiting more than a month per evolution.
As with both the latest evolution of the Reve (well, latest two?) and the Case of Pietro, I adore the poses. I just want to get more of them, and ultimately, have them fully evolved so I can use my older poses!
In terms of a schedule, there are artists who talk about it, there are artists who say there isn't one. It's too difficult for everyone involved when there isn't a set schedule that all can see.
The artists need deadlines. It's a job. They need to know when and how to prioritize, and if needed, ask for help and/or an extension. And this needs to be done in a way that the users don't lose trust in Gaia.
