dA's art contests..
I would love if there would be 1-3 official art contests by deviantart every year that are truly about creating art of different kinds and are not just paid promotions by the game or movie industry to make a movie like Split or a game like Tomb Raider popular here.

My impression of deviantART in 2015
To make it very short: dA is getting worse I believe.
- Many Bugs are ignored, no fixes are in sight.
- The Community is usually ignored.
- The "Browse" or "Activity Browse" Function is a copy and paste attempt to make dA more like Facebook or Tumblr while dA is fundamentally different and should stay that way.
- Prices for dA Memberships rised, the functionality and comfort however is stagnating or getting worse.
- The Help Chat is no more.
- The Help Desk is harder to find now. Answers from there are usually negative and not a help.
- The new dA Logo still looks like a damn Cactuar from Final Fantasy
- Art thefts and copyright infringement is still a big problem
On the positive side, dA is still a ton better than fucking Tumblr. The communication here between artists, group members, fans is or can be excellent.
