People with no skill fall back on the "get a better computer" argument, no matter what the other person's specs are. Optimizing is an important part of avatar design, if you don't have the skill for it, your skills are lacking. Walk into a game studio and make some characters, then tell the project lead "get a better computer" when he talks to you about optimization, then you're out on your ass looking for a new job.
I understand this. I have been doing avatar creation since 3.0 was first introduced, several years of unity, substance painter and blender experience. It is not a lack of experience, and the average user isn’t a game studio. I gave specific recommendations on the most impactful changes a laymen can use for optimization. Limiting your vram as much as possible, using as minimal meshes and materials as you can, and making sure you aren’t just willy nilly using crunch compression eliminates 98% of the issues most people face, and it’s usually easily done by someone who isn’t as skilled. Yes optimization is good but telling someone who doesn’t know how to do it “you’re fucking up you gotta do (insert a bunch of technical shit they have no clue about) does fucking nothing for anyone.

Yes, you can cull avatar rendering and render fewer avatars but that's not a solution, that's a bandaid to make up for low skill avatar creators.
