Defaulting to "Most Popular" comes with a host of problems. Not only has it been tried and reverted in the past, but it ignores any CURRENT creators. Most Popular comes with long time user, but not necessarily current user and so it is going to take a very long time to churn new creations into most popular creations if they ever get the chance or traction.
It kills creativity and current trends and makes current ideas invisible unless someone knows a person's gallery name.
It makes OLD content the only thing that people see, so the same thing gets regurgitated over and over stifiling new creativity.
Events by content creators become invisible as you no longer see new shell challenges, pack specific etc as by the time a person finds it, it may no longer be relevant or real time.
You bury the small creators with the big creators, and unless someone is in that person's community to look for their gallery name, they will never be found. (way to support thoes that MAY still be looking to be a part of the creator community)
Some of the best builds don't even come from the top creator, they come from someone small or without a community that is just waiting to be discovered and defaulting to Newest allows visibility to ALL creators not just the long time players.
But most of all. If it ain't broke, it doesn't need fixing. The only thing broken now about the gallery is how moving the kits and pack selection to marketplace has broken the ability to search by specific packs. We didn't ask for this, just as we didn't ask for a marketplace cash grab. We asked to make the game functional and this does none of that.
kreativepixie Good points and well said!
