Description:
Currently, when searching for products on the Second Life Marketplace, results often include numerous gacha items. While gachas were once popular, many users now prefer to purchase items directly without the randomness or resale nature associated with gachas. This can make finding non-gacha products time-consuming and frustrating.
Proposed Feature:
Introduce a simple filter or checkbox in the Marketplace search interface labeled “Exclude Gacha Items”. When enabled, this filter would remove all listings tagged as gacha from the search results.
Benefits:
Improved User Experience: Users can quickly find items they want without sifting through unwanted gacha listings.
Efficiency: Reduces search clutter and saves time for shoppers.
Marketplace Transparency: Helps buyers make informed choices by distinguishing between standard items and gacha resales.
Community Alignment: Reflects the evolving preferences of Second Life residents who increasingly favor direct purchases over chance-based systems.
Why It Matters:
The Marketplace is a critical hub for Second Life commerce. Enhancing its usability with targeted filters ensures a better shopping experience, supports creators who sell non-gacha items, and aligns with Linden Lab’s efforts to maintain a fair and accessible economy.
Would you like me to make this more formal and structured for submission to Linden Lab’s Jira system, or turn it into a persuasive email you can send to their support or product team? Or both?
