In my case I'm pretty much only seeing scenes from the Russian studios now and any good scenes released from unranked or new studios (the Musa Martina scene) will be forever hidden for me and impossible to find amongst all the garbage released every day.
Someone must be trying very hard to kill this platform because every new "feature" just makes the user experience worse, if it even works at all!
Content is still sorted by sales within each of the 4 choices of filters that keep the content visible.
Yeah, and that is my point with regards to scenes from unrated studios, or even for studios with different ratings. For people like me, who are much more interested in good looking models rather than specific studios, having scenes always sorted according to how I arbitrarily may have ranked the studios rather than how popular a scene actually is, isn't helping me finding the top recent scenes. In my case the top seller list is just filled with scenes from studios I follow and that I already know about, rather than showing me promising new scenes from studios I may have ranked lower or not at all.
If I hadn't come across the Musa Martina scene from amongst the new releases and known to look for this scene specifically, I wouldn't even have known about her or of the Ferrero Anal Experience, even though her scene seems to have performed very well. When I went to buy the scene days later, I couldn't even find the scene because it didn't appear in the top sellers and wading through the new releases for a scene released more than a day ago is hopeless. I had to remember that Luca Ferrero had his own studio, find it through the studio page, searching for his name, and buy the scene that way. It really shouldn't have to be this complicated to buy a scene with a new girl you are interested in. And if I hadn't checked the new releases that day I wouldn't have known the scene even existed, much less bought it.
With the current ranking system, there is no good way for signed in users to find top selling scenes from studios we haven't yet rated, and if I'm not signed in, the store is filled with things I've chosen to hide altogether, such as gay, TS or puke scenes. At the very least, you should add a separate tab for top sellers that disregards user rankings, so that we have the means to browse the actual top sellers without exposing ourselves to boner-killers.
Another issue here is that forum members now get completely different perceptions of what the top selling list actually looks like. Many of us like to refer to this list when discussing various topics, but with the list now based primarily on our own studio rankings and actual scene performance only within each ranking, makes discussion these things completely meaningless.
