My complaint of contest are that it are very unfair for person who have no forum access, as they can never make for do submission for in game item.
1. SE can't stop people from submitting their entries. They have no control over it. You're asking SE to say 'ok, you got first place, now you can never get it ever again'. That's a huge slap to people who make an effort to participate in all the events the community holds, knowing that their extra efforts are wasted if they win. That in turn will lower interest in XIV events - not something we want at all, is it.
2. If they give the prize to someone else...what? So the champion of last year's event won this year's event again, but has to give their reward to some no-name person who probably just rocked up halfway and spewed anything out?
3. If you have in-game access, you have forum-access. It is entirely up the playerbase whether they want to submit or not.
