Agree, I made a thread on this in graphics section when people are selling graphics tutorials for $20 when they are EXACTLY COPYING YOUTUBE VIDEOS, so i made a free thread on how to do it and ruin their lives 
stop calling yourselves "graphic designers"

No one's forcing you to buy their "trash art" just let it be if you really are at a place of privilege where you're the best, you shouldn't be worried about ones that are still learning.

Trust me whatever advice I give never gets in them. Of course there will be people who are better than me in my work but obviously this isn't the place to get started. They're influenced by others who deem their work as "high quality" and they get inspiration through them. People who can't do that job would order and once they're pleased, the designer will stick to the style for a long time, maybe forever. I'm not saying my work is any good, I'm still a student trying to explore new ways to improve my work and efficiency.
Yep. I've been using worldpainter for 5 years now, but I didn't start using it for commercial purposes until 2.5 years ago, because I lacked the skill.
I've now reached the point where calling myself "master terraformer" or "professional terraformer" actually makes sense in a minecraft context, since I can make a living doing it, and I know almost all the tricks in the book when it comes to worldpainter, if not quite yet for WorldMachine (read: Nowhere near).
Once I've reached a point where I can make quality terrains for 3D applications like Unreal Engine or using Vue to render stuff, I might switch my title to "Environment Artist". Right now, though, the only minecraft terraformer that has proven they deserve that title is Killerack.

They can do whatever they want. I'm just annoyed at the fact that a bunch of them call themselves "professional designers" or whatever after their first 1-3 designs. My designs are generic yes. My designs in the portfolio I present are simple and what not but you have to consider the amount of time you put in to the designs and how much you're getting. I dedicate 75% of my time learning new skills and constantly trying to improve but these "designers" here have a mindset that what they're doing is good as long as their customers like them but really, they're not.
You're right. When I started I didn't call myself a graphic designer, but a couple of months ago I started calling myself one. I'm still not a professional one, because I don't consider myself as one of the top designers out there. I think I can call myself a designer because I know that my work is worth it. Like you said in the previous comment, I also try to improve myself in every commission I do. So you have a point.
So what you are saying is that even if their customers like their art, it is trash because you say so?
