Announcing the "VanaFest Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway"! (NA)

[FrankReynolds]

You're kidding right? Please say you are. I honestly doubt there is enough people out there who care enough to even go to lengths to fully hack an account to which they know no information on, and if you're dumb enough to go a site or "update your flash player" then well...had it coming.

It's probably not very hard to hack an account that doesn't have a token on it, when most dummies use the character name as the log in. That security token is probably the only reason that people aren't constantly hacked these days.

I picked Claustrum, Sagasinger, and Plenitas Virga.

Hacking the account of someone you know, probably not that hard. Hacking a complete stranger without keylogging them? You have to find the POL id/password; SE id/password and hope that they don't have a token.

To be fair, every contest in the US has a small disclaimer noting you can write in requesting a list of winners. Not sure if it's something they have to provide legally, though from every contest I've ever seen offering it, I would assume so. Kinda like the "No purchase needed to win!" disclaimer on the bottom of all contests as well, which I know is indeed a legal matter, which I could have sworn I seen on the bottom of this Giveaway when I skimmed over it like a couple of weeks ago. Not a lawyer or familiar with it all, so I can't really say on it, and couldn't find a reason on Google either to the above.

I'm personally curious as to how they'll be picking the winners, as in times past, they always were happy to say that they were drawing the numbers and had it recorded for strict legal reasons, this time, the Moogles are being extra hush hush and secrative as to how they're doing it. A giant box with names on it? Wacky wheel of winner names they spin? Hit a button and randomly generate player names on a PC program? WILD AND WOOLY OFFICE PARTY TO DETERMINE THE WINNERS!?!

I kid, I kid. Just alot of free time is causing me to wonder how the good people of SE are going to pick a single person for Rank 1 this time between US and EU regions, and how they'll be pick separate winners for R2 and up, while being fair and unbiased. If anyone has the answer to that one, I'd love to honestly hear it, though it's kinda fun to just randomly come up with ideas for how they're gonna do it.

It's not nearly as hard as your making it sound, but they will probably get pissed if I explain in any detail.


ANyways... I can't even remember what I selected. I hope I am pleasantly surprised today when I get home from work.

Understandable that they won't release names, but it would still be nice to see a list of how many of each prize was picked per rank.

You're implying hacking is harder than it is.

Skipping past the ease of it, the point is still there is people out there who do aim to hack people's accounts simply to drop items they themselves are too lazy to get so assume people shouldn't have them either. It's just easier all round to not print names.

Totally agree! I tried to look for one on the JP site, but I don't speak Japanese so I didn't really get anywhere... But would really love to see a pie chart or something once prizes are out! Definitely want to be able to lol if Rank 1 picked Kannagi.

Picked Ryunohige, Umbral Marrow, Khepri Jacket myself.

Wondering where that announcement is. With 2 days left in the month we should either have a date or at least a delay report from devs.

They'll announce:

the "system" accidentally lost all entries. We will no longer be doing this event, we'll be doing a new "such-and-such" event so we can allow the Japanese ANOTHER event to win on while blocking NA and EU from winning.
