Make a separate category for Backdrops
tracked
Loly Sirnah
With the increase of backdrops creators and items, it became impossible to search for anything under Building and Structures category. The marketplace is littered with thousands of backdrop items, that are most definitely not building or structures. They pop up on every search under Home and Garden too, and in every specified search by keywords.
Please please consider this, it really got to the point searches are just not relevant anymore.
Someone wrote about it in the past but explained it wrong.. I'm trying again.

we're not talking about photographic backdrops are we... Items that are used in a photo studio?

Wendy Nitely I think those would fall into this suggested category as well, however:
The kind of backdrop from the feedback is meant to be the type that has the appearance of a building(s), but doesn't have a complete interior and exterior and is not entirely useful outside of a photography context. Sort of like a stage play backdrop.

As a creator in both classes of product,
There's a clear enough distinction between photography backdrops and other categories of objects that the word 'backdrop' is expected to be one of the main keywords for people buying that particular type of product;
Anyone wanting buildings or structures is two keywords deep in the wrong direction as these are not typically interactive or made to be traversable pieces of scenery.
A lot of backdrops have super-smashed LODs and look awful from a few metres away as they're not expected to be used beyond their intention; upclose photography.

Yesss. I bought a few backdrops thinking they were homes. I started making it a self rule to view inworld before buying.
