Batch rejections

I have been a contributor to AS for years and have always been satisfied with the constructive and fair evaluation of my submitted images. My acceptance rate has usually been between 80% and 90%.
This has changed since last week.
Suddenly complete batches are being rejected with the reason "quality problems". The acceptance rate has dropped to 0%. The rejected images are completely identical in quality to images that were accepted weeks ago and are selling.
There is clearly a systematic error in Adobe's review process. I would be pleased if the reviewers were also subjected to an audit and I hope that Adobe will find its way back to the good and successful way of the review process

but 100% failed, two batches in a row. not ok.

It is extremely difficult to create good AI images.The requirements have (fortunately) become stricter! I haven't uploaded very many so far, but I (of course) have some projects going. I feel the same way - if the rejection rate is way too high, I don't care anymore. Good luck ...

If your assets get rejected for quality issues, I would suggest that you check your assets for quality issues.

Having prior acceptance and even sales does not mean that the assets are quality issue free, especially as you are saying that the quality did not change to prior submissions. Adobe added, in the last year, millions of new assets into the database. They can be picky on the quality requirements.

Many contributors are reporting an increase in rejections. I think that this is a reaction to Adobe's effort to bring back quality assets into the database, after a year of accepting many flawed assets that now need to be sorted out.

Abambo, I've been in this business for 6 years now and of course not only with Adobe. I can judge very well whether an image is of sufficient quality or not. And I have (so far) always been able to understand when Adobe has rejected an image because of quality problems.
Now it's not individual images that are rejected, but entire batches.
My batches consist of very different images, both in terms of motifs and composition and processing. It's nonsense that all these images should suddenly have quality problems from one day to the next. Especially as images with similar processing and similar results have already been accepted.
No, there are no quality problems with the images.
It's a quality problem with the reviewers.

If this a competition of years in business, I just checked, my first refusal was 7 years ago.

You are free to claim whatever you think, but always when users like you posted an asset for fellow contributors to ckeck, those fellow contributors found some errors that warranted the refusal.

Similar images with similar processing is no guarantee of success.
