Heavensturn Screenshot Contest (EU) - Please revise results. Heartbroken here.

tbh, I didn't expect to win twice, I was sure that they'd check the winners of the previous event, as it had the same price...
AND I can't even trade it to someone else ingame as a special FC-Event reward too... I hope SE will think of something

I'm just disappointed that there's no screen shot contest for Valentione. We spent a lot of time and effort on the first night of the event, trying to get the right positioning and lighting for something that I thought would be halfway decent enough to enter. And it doesn't matter if I win or not (personally I feel like this whole participation trophy mentality is annoying), but I'm kind of starting to feel that I could have just gotten a couple quick shots to post on my blog and gone on to do other things instead.

Thanks for the answer. Please take meaures for this not to happen again. These are unique/untradable items that it's hard for us ultimate in-game collector's to accept not having, but it's unacceptable if we know they are being distributed in an unfair system.
And for the love of God, please do not distribute unique/untradable/finite items to the same person twice, if he doesn't ask for it on an alt. It's a disservice to your fans.

But what about te Earrings of those people that already said they don't want a second set? Will you really decide to throw them away while we are looking with puppy eyes?

Now, where is my new chance for a sweet Bluebird Earrings set? :p

That's what any normal person would think.

Another contest and hope your entry is good enough to win that time.

Hi, I am one of those who won two sets of earrings, and got my second set on yesterday - had to put my first pair on a retainer in order to fetch the second one.

I entered both contests in order to double my chances to win something, but I'd have never expected to win twice...

I can understand why these items can't be traded nor sold on the marketboard... and on the other hand I know you can't go ask everyone who to deliver the second prize to neither, for obvious reasons.

Anyways, since you guys are open to let us trade our prizes to other characters on the same account, can we ask to expand this AT LEAST to our eternal bond partners? This way you'll know that it won't be done just to sell the prize, but that we really intend to give it to someone special...

First, this was a reply to the community manager, not you, so I don't see what place you have in this.
Second, again because you're slow, that's exactly what I'm asking, where's my new chance, aka Valentione Screenshot Contest, like Japan already has going on for it.
Never asked for winning something I didn't deserve btw. Bye bye.

Now, that is a wonderful idea, and I fully support it. See, logical solutions like these and not like not distributing unique/untradable/finite items to the same person twice, if he doesn't ask for it on an alt, hurting every invested loyal fan in the processs, are exactly what this topic is for.

We try to make it clear that there may be instances that we do not select 100 winners by including language that references that it may be "up to 100".We're sorry if this was not clearer and we'll work to ensure that users are more aware that it's not a guarantee to win the contest simply by entering.

In regards to players that have won more than once;we do allow them to transfer their 2nd prize to another character that is on their service account if they wish. However,we understand that contests that offer the same prize and happen in such a close proximity may lead to issues and will definitely take this into consideration in the future.

With that said,we plan to introduce more opportunities to obtain the bluebird earring soon,so please hang tight a bit longer.

So, Valentione Contest?

Do you guys really think you can get away with this behavior?

Sadly, you can. Credibility out of the window, but you can.

The worst offender is even if a Valentione Day Event (lol) suddenly appeared, and even if you included the Bluebird Eearrings as the prize, you'd probably have a weird contest like "Bake a cake in real life made as a heart", and then only reward like 5 people...
