Just asked mike if debates were allowed so I decided to make this thread, I'd like to have a proper understanding on this situation as I'm completely against resource bumping and had lost interest in posting new resources due to the decrease in sales/downloads.


My reason to be against resource bumping:
  1. Your resource is never seen
  2. Reduce in sales/downloads as bumping is a repeated cycle of 100s of users bumping everyday
My explanation to the reasons ^
  1. Why your resource is never seen? Normally this morning I bumped my resource and later which is 2-3 hours never found it due to another 10 people bumping their resources.
  2. Why the old system (With no bumping) was better? According to mick bumping was better as people could use it as an alternative instead of making stupid updated of no use. Well Guess what? That just went bad as Me being there before the bumping system came up I saw my resource still in the first page in the first 5 hours atleast. Barely 10-15 people made stupid updated to get their resource on top but it never effected our downloads and sales, why? Because not everyone did that and your resource would have still been at the 3rd page atleast by the day and buyers would have found it. What about now? Your resource would be stuck soo behind probably at the 13th or 15th page that new buyers (who don't use the filter feature) will never find your resource.
  3. If you would like to know more you can ask more authors like Spaceley as you'll know the difficulty that resource bumping gives us.
  4. Sure resource bumping can get your 2015 resource at top but its dumb as I've said there are 100 more resources being bumped which is 10 times more than what resources usually get on top with updates.
I'm very interested in hearing your side of the talk if you are interested in going against this. I myself have already read the reasons to why bumping was introduced and do not agree with them.

Not quite sure why I was tagged in this, but I do not have any difficulties with resource bumping, I found my sales have been increasing using this new feature.
wow

The meta is shifting. There will be new strategies that come up out of this. The benefit of not seeing people release broken updates so they can patch it a few days later and have an excuse to stay at the top of thebliat is worth the changes.

Eventually I expect some users will start ignoring the latest bumped/updated sort and do more searches and filtering.

I think its better that active people are the ones to get their threads noticed for people just browsing.
