PROHIBIT SALE OF SMALL ASSETS

It is impossible to search FAB “Recent Releases” because there are sellers who spam dozens of small material/prop assets every day.

New FAB users will just leave FAB seeing this clutter. The search experience is terrible.
Sellers will quit FAB because their hard crafted quality assets are never seen among this clutter.
In UE marketplace there were rules for a minimal asset content size of 5 props / 5 materials.
Sellers could rely on having their new assets on top of ‘Recent Releases’ for at least some time.

Now, new released assets are being flushed away to the bottom because some “wise” sellers abuse the system by publishing many small assets that take away the whole page.
What would happen if everyone did this?

Possible solutions:

  • Prohibit sale of small assets containing only a few props or materials
  • Allow only 1 upload per day for small assets.
  • Add filter button to hide small assets
  • Add a filter to block all assets from a seller

Additionally, we need these options to:

  • Hide owned assets
  • Hide all assets from specific sellers
  • Hide all assets that support only some specific formats
  • Show only 70% discounted assets
  • See a price/discount tracker under every asset
  • Sort alphabetical by seller’s name
  • Sort by number of ratings
  • See discount amount on asset page without the need to click on license selector
  • See the asset publication date, not the “migration-to-FAB” date
  • Leave written questions and reviews

Move “Characters” out of “3D” to a separate category where assets are forced to be in subcategories. Not like now, where “Characters” are already a subcategory of “3D” with 90% of characters uncategorized further.






I agree that doesn’t work as well as it could with spammed products.

One other solution which I think could work well is to have a search for latest, by author - so if you do a “Newest” search, you would only see one icon per author - clicking on that would reveal their latest releases along with their current ones.

Bit of extra dev work to display sub-level collections - but it would clean up the newest release page so much.

Scammers will find work arounds to these things. If you limit the daily upload amount, they will just have 100 accounts. These things will hurt real creators more.

There has to be more human moderation and higher requirements to become a seller. Any automated AI moderation will be just abused.
