"Artists Beware"

I personally think the DA Points currency is a horrible system. 400 points = 5 USD; when people look at five dollars, they find that incredibly cheap, but 400 points? It looks like it costs a lot to the inexperienced! I've seen an artist charge 40 points for a full color drawing. That's FIFTY CENTS for a drawing with color and shading! Not to mention it's useless in my opinion. Oh, you can buy premium accounts, prints, and DA merch with it? Cool, but can DA points buy me food, water, and electricity? It can if you can pay a 20% fee! If you had a lot of points around and you had to give one-fifths of it to DA, then a good chunk of your hard work is gone.

Seriously, just avoid virtual currency for commissions if you can. It's just too ridiculous and some undermine the works of artists by setting arbitrary number values.
