Welcome to Gaia! ::

I been a little more forgiving of maybe two piece of a large set since sets are so much bigger now then they use to be, but it really depends on how it's used. In my last avatar I used my lovely genie vest and pants with no one commenting on it, I had thought I was setting myself up on that one for sure.

Then again, people sometimes pile so much stuff on with the new layering, I have a hard time telling if they are wearing a set without checking their equipped menu on their profile sweatdrop

My one pet peeve is when a newbie comes in wearing a complete set, ask for a rate and people still give them like a 4-5....That just kills me.

I wasn't blaming the newbies, they like sets, they don't know better, I am pissed at the ATers who give them a 4-5 score because they are too scared about looking mean.

Once recognized as the biggest no-no in the AT, sets have started to become more widely accepted in avatar creation. In recent store updates more and more sets have been released that don't even look like sets or just seem to belong together. When you recognize someone wearing numerous items of a set you should not automatically give them a low rating. Before deciding to deduct points take a good look at the avatar and ask yourself does it look like a set? More often then not the answer will be no. Wearing two or more pieces from a set too complete a look in a creative way is deffinatly acceptable. I bet you didn't even realize that outfit three contains pants and a shirt from the same set.

CC: That pretty well covers what I've seen as the prevailing view. ^_^


What about Black and red... Is that still Taboo?
Or any other color taboos you can think of?
Gold has been my pet peeve lately. mad
