I'd love to see WIPs of pro builders. @nicjasno is one of my favorite pro builders because he makes build streams so everyone can participate or watch as the build comes together. 
We like to see that pro builders also struggle and that they're not perfect. When we just get the finished build only, it looks like pro builders just fart perfection as is and that it was easy. 

Or at least that's how i think people psychologically see it. 

I personally like that the community can come together and help eachother so we do not waste time doing stupid mistakes and learn as a collective. 
The only downside to this is that it can also kill creativity when we like to use already done working solutions instead of trying something new that can either fail or become something great.  

Exactly why i started the streams. And also to force me to actually finish models instead of just making the suspension and/or chasis and then giving up. :)

I like the WIP threads because I like to see the progress. How they made this or that work. Asking for help. And so on.

 

I don't mind just the finished MOC. However it bothers me because it's like they are hiding trade secrets. I could understand if they sell instructions for that MOC. But if don't sell the instructions, then why hide the inside of the model?

Yep, seeing inside is very important, as it's where all the magic happens. I mean, I can appreciate a pretty exterior and it's nice to see finely finished models, but that's not what Technic is about in its core. So even if it's just a presentation of a finished model, I'd really like to see the inner functions. I can understand hiding them when selling instructions though.
