Envato Rewards Rule Breakers

1. If ID verification still isn’t a thing here, it needs to be. For obvious reasons.
2. The rating system (or any rating system for that matter) for audio on Envato doesn’t make any sense at all.
   This has been mentioned by quite a few authors here before. Unlike code, After Effects Templates etc. there is no need to test audio. The customer gets what he/she hears in the preview file. If he/she wouldn’t find it useful, there wouldn’t be a sale in the first place.
   So why on earth should a customer even take the time to rate items. That’s why they don’t. Simple.
3. Showing the number of sales next to an item is counterproductive for the whole marketplace.
   It’s psychology 101. Of course it does help skyrocket the sales of few items. It’s quite a good sales tactic for small music libraries with few tracks. But in the long run, it’s incredibly unhealthy for big music marketplaces.
   There is a very good reason no top-tier music library in the world does this…

Many problems this marketplace has, would be solved by implementing just a few little changes, and guarantee a healthy, continuously growing marketplace in the long run.

All good points in my opinion although i would add that in the earlier days of AJ, customers would leave more ratings but now it’s very rare that i get any, in fact half a dozen in the last 2 years.
