I feel like it would be a win/win. They wouldn’t be loosing much by me removing my models, none of them are super popular lol. I could still post them on the orange site. But they would gain:
Edit - the models don’t get extra points. Only those boosting apparently.
where did you get the idea that models would get more points? that’s not how it works, the new boost system just ensures that people who download and print your design gets (more) boosts, if users only print simple stuff they don’t get any boost to give away
the value of the boosts is unchanged 12 for normal, 15 for exclusive
you did not hit the exclusive switch… therefore 12 points
Apparently I pulled it straight from my posterior.
I was looking to find where Bambu ever said the points rewards for complex models and can’t find any reference. So total malarky that designing “complex” models gets you bigger boosts.
The person took care about copyright claim must be on holiday or something, I had a copyright ticket without any reply over two weeks
Weird… I didn’t notice any break, even got some Copyright Claim Success notifications few hours ago. Maybe you should report again.
Like @Crow_ck said you might want to resubmit that one. I’ve been getting “report successful” back all the way up to this morning.
They’ll do it on one condition. You have to give up your checkmark. 
Oh… wow… I’d need some time to think about that. I was hoping for a larger, two color, moderator checkmark.
Blockquot complex designs that take weeks to create often get fewer points simply because they’re not quick to print. Our Boost System was created to balance this—and now we’re making it work better.
I would argue that that does not have to be the case. A complex model taking from some other aide can be a 10 minute job to get copied. While a complex model that looks simple can takes weeks to develop. For example if it’s parametric created with OpenSCAD or other software.
Personally I don’t care on yet a other helmet or action figure, thay might be complex but…
And then there is often friends boosting friends, or however that works?
Personally? I really really do not care about tokens or upvotes… I post something if I think it can be usefull for somebody else… Even if I get a boost token, I have no idea what I can do with them…
What about a silver star? 
This is an interesting update, and it’s great to see efforts to better reward complex and high-engineering projects. Often, these models don’t get as much attention as simpler, faster-to-print designs, so this system could help balance that.
However, one thing isn’t clear to me:
If I appreciate a model and want to boost it, why can’t I do so freely? Limiting the number of boost tokens risks penalizing some creators or reducing the community’s ability to support the projects they truly find valuable.
I understand the need to prevent abuse, but maybe a more flexible approach would allow active members to support models of their choice without rigid restrictions.
Is there any plan to revise this aspect?
Thanks for continuously improving the platform.
Looks like it’s given more boosts tokens to the users download and print complex models, but it didn’t limit us to boosting whatever we like , and those users only download and printed simple models will have less boost tokens
And I do understand why maker world doesn’t want to draw a clear line between simple and complex models , there’s always someone looking for a loophole in their system
I have a question to better understand the system.
If the token mechanism is meant to reward those who print more complex models, but the tokens are still limited and I can’t freely decide who to give them to, isn’t there a risk of penalizing some valuable creators anyway?
Basically, even if I print a lot of complex models, the number of tokens remains limited. So if I find multiple projects I’d like to support, I have to choose who to exclude, even if they all deserve recognition.
Wouldn’t a system that rewards quality and engagement over time be more effective instead of relying on rigid parameters? After all, valuable content is recognized by community involvement, not just technical complexity.
Just trying to understand better what do you think?
From my understanding of the blog post, you can still choose to boost any model you’d like but the process for tokens being distributed has been updated.
Hi, we’ve been closely monitoring his behavior and have banned all of his accounts. If he chooses to setup new accounts and continues to upload stolen models, we will take further actions.
Thank you very much for informing us and holding us accountable to handle this type of behavior.
I do not see that. I just printed two very small items from Makerworld last week (except my some new own designs) and got three tokens. But I think if they distribute the tokens on monday it may be differently donated? I will see this on my own during the next weeks. not it looks bad for me.
Wouldn’t a better pathway be to add a multiplier to the more complex designs which could take into account the print hours and the refined design and have this added to the boost option. Eg a print that takes into consideration the complexity and overall effort that goes into it deserve a multiplier to be added to help balance it over the designs who may be quick to print but have also had lots of hours poured over the design phase to get to the desired level ready to be uploaded.
So eg a caliper keyring design that is on here takes about two hours to print it’s simplistic but there has been lots of time poured into that design. But because it prints quickly and is minimal filament it’s sent to print multiple times more than a robot that combines parts of a AMS into its look. It’s cool but it’s not going to be printed many times due to the many parts and many hours of labour to build it.
But we want to reward that creator for the many hours we can see in it.
Taking into consideration time+ filament+ complexity + interaction with users+ likes. This would even the playing field for these designs and could be also have a moderator approve it for this multiplier or adjust as seen fit?
Thanks @MakerWorld you guys literally killed an honest grandfather making practical use models and a few toys for my grandson. Went from on average 4-6 boosts a day down to 1 then to 0. Thats pretty depressing and frustrating to say the least. Your site was getting me excited about participating in the ecosystem. Checking points like its views on youtube. I thought maybe at least I could be decent at something.
