Doppelganger Screenshot Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

[Jessichuu]

I didn't even enter the contest but there are a lot of repeats in the winners, especially for a contest where creativity is a factor.

Totally agree with this! but Regardless {even if i didn't win} It was still a fun Experience! i am glad to see people are creative out there!

lol terrible job selecting winners.

4 winners just for putting on af, 5 winners for using syplhs 5 winners for using qiqirn, 3 winners for using the same pose on cactuars (so thats 13 that won by copying a previous entry)

i mean i knew i was gonna lose cause of my boots, but at least it took something to do it.

As being one of the Slyphs that won, I feel it's pretty unfair for you to lump us all together.

I think I did a pretty darn good job using what I had. But opinions are opinions! However...

I think I was also the first Sylph.. Hmm..

You were the best of the Slyphs!

I don't want to sound salty either, but my submission was drastically similar, I don't understand how it couldn't have also placed, especially with all the duplicates

I honestly liked your composition and entry far more.

I had to look quite a few times for the 'duplicate' just because I didn't see it being on your level at all. :/ [Yours was better.]

The deer one? I thought yours had superior composition. It was a much more engaging image than the one that had placed and they seemed to stress composition in the rules. I would have thought they would have chosen, well, based on the rules. (As well you mention yours even came before theirs chronologically, so at least you were the first to be creative in that regard.)

I also liked yours better than the one that won

Congrats to the winners, but I do agree that more deliberation could have been made amongst the duplicates and possibilities of composition in attire. If this meant sacrificing more time for the decision making, then all the more power to you (the EU contest won't get their responses until the 11th, which is very fair given the amount of entries).

There are many, many sets of gear out there, and not all of them are over 100K a piece. Just because, say, your AF or Company Gear is a certain colour, does not mean it's the best choice or one of the more creative options for your "doppelganger set". Even if we were to exclude that thought...:

Those are 17 winners, I was only stating that the 13 that duplicated should not have been included.
