The community was apparently against the idea that certain girls are "worth" more than eastern european or ukrainian girls.
And I probably was one of them... It's true American girls tend to have better moves, but East Europe ones tend to be
far more beautiful. And some of them has quite good moves too.
Moreover, if I have to think about the American studio experience, I remember a few quite good cards, but also many so-so ones, and yes, some pornstars - but not so few of them where
totally past their prime.
Briefly,I didnt find the far bigger expenses for Team to have been compensated by getting cards of exceptional quality produced. In many occasions, it was the opposite.
Just as an exemple, I can not even dare to imagine how much did cost to Totem hiring a big star as Keisha Grey, but I also find her cards to be far less memorable than Melena Maria's ones (or Talia Mint's, or Belka's)
That said, I might also agree not to find the current "higher priced cards" to have anything really better than others... but they just help the current sustainablity of product (as SECs - which also have no particularly special features) do after a terrible year
