Ok let's talk about events and Europeans

[Xieveral]

The Grant a Wish contest was EU-exclusive, featuring Scarf of Wondrous Wit as a prize. I believe this is the first contest offering it to NA players. I agree that if the prize is virtual, it should be a contest open to all regions (as they do with the seasonal screenshot contests). As an NA player, I was envious of the Grant a Wish contest.

EU-exclusive events:
Grant a Wish contest
The Great Eorzean Cook-Off
All-Saint's Wake Haiku

NA-Exclusive events:
Doppelganger Screenshot Contest
Your FATE is Sealed (I suppose this one is understandable since there was a physical prize being offered)
Eorzea IRL (also physical prize)
Be My Valentione
My Au Ra

NA and EU were even on exclusives up until this year's Valentione event.

Are you serious? You fail to mention the fact that not even EVERYONE in the NA can participate? I'm a console player and I can't have a benchmark program, let alone the ability to actually join this event.

It's wrong on a few levels, not just that EU can't do it.

To add another level of wrong, I dislike that this and the Eozea IRL contests required use of Twitter.
