    Feedback the Screenshot contests

    It is cool how you guys have these contests but there is one issue with it. If you look though the past contests. The NA on average gets 3x as many entries as the EU one. This is due to the fact that there are more NA players then EU players.

    Some data
    Heavensturn Screenshot Contest
    NA - 305 entries
    EU - 118 entries

    Starlight Celebration Screenshot Contest
    NA - 860 entries
    EU - 285 entries

    Based on this fact it is much easier to win a screenshot contest if you have a EU account because you have a lot less competition then if you are a NA account holder.

    There seems to be a trend of the NA contests getting 3x as many entries as the EU ones. In the future it would make more sense if you could offer 300 prizes for the NA and 100 for EU to make it more fair.

    A player shouldn't get an advantage on winning just because they have a EU account.

    I have a feeling the answer to this post will be something like:

    "Thank you for your feedback! As per your suggestion we have decided to change the number of contest winners based on a regions player population. Therefore, the number of contest winners for NA will remain at 100 and the amount of winners for EU will be changed from 100 to 33. Thanks for your feedback <3

    If you wanna remove advantages you need to stop seperating it and just use everyone in the same competition.

    Cause what happens when one day tons of EU players decide to enter then it would become unfair if only 100 prizes were handed out.

    If you look at all the past contests the NA one shows a trend of always having 3x as many entries so all of a sudden 3x as many EU players entering probably isn't going to happen. The reason for this is that the NA player population is much larger so the prizes should really be based on the population.

    Dosnt mean it cant happen hence its better to not seperate NA and EU when its not even needed (when ingame items is the price).

    They alrdy did that mistake in the first halloween event where NA:s contest was screenshot and the EU one was to write some sort of poem.
