I was shown the light (or ruined) after learning that high LOD settings are not OK. This also invalidated a lot of my objects inventory for me. I'm blaming this on AurynBeorn and her excellent article about the subject: Black Tulip Virtual - Documentation
It’s a difficult balance. People want detailed items, with next to no LI, and high LOD? One of those things can’t live with the others. Once people start to have realistic expectations of what they can have then things will change.
