Voting for the new Hairstyles?

[Grimmel]

Seriously? A vote? It's just going to be a popularity contest then to see who can buy off the most votes if that's the case.

This isn't twitter where people can make multiple accounts to vote for themselves and offer free games to voters, so I doubt people will be able to buy votes for this.

That race to the finish twitter contest was a disaster. People who didn't even play FFXIV joined it..

Girl, your Au Ra is probably the most beautiful character I've seen since I joined this forum/game. Really. The color combination, eyes, scales, everything, it looks AWESOME.

Her Au Ra color looks like the pic on "Delicious Au Ra" thread IMO :| (No offense)

It could be a number of things - maybe there were a lot more entries than anticipated, or after the backlash about the stolen entries they're trying to be more thorough before publishing them.

Also, most contests they've done in the past didn't have an audience poll, so they could have run into some unexpected errors while getting that portion figured out. I've managed similar contests before, and one of the biggest challenges I've faced is finding a good poll system that can display more than 10 entries (among other things - such as displaying all the images in a good size, and tracking the number of votes per IP address to make sure nobody is cheating).

Winners of the transition art contest were announced today, so hopefully that means they'll be shifting more focus to the hairstyle contest.

I hope that's one of the reasons. I know my thread on the stolen art has received a bunch of likes.

The thing is they're not using a poll system. They're using the likes button as their judgement so people can vote on all the hairs if they so choose.

Would have been nice if they'd atleast notify us of what's happening and when to instead expect to start voting. We're completely left in the dark now
