[Request] Add alternative methods to getting Screenshot Contests rewards

[Doozer]

Something tells me OP got a lot of participation trophies growing up.

Sorry, but a contest is a contest. Winners win, and get prizes. I'm not keen on having my efforts wasted on winning a prize just so some schmuck can do some mundane task and get it more easily. There are some things in-game that could stand to be more accessible, but the items that are exclusively prizes for contests should not be among them.

Try harder to win, and keep entering. If that's too much for you, clearly you don't actually want the items bad enough.

That would hardly be an 'improvement'. It'd just lead to popular players having an immense advantage over unknown players. Someone in a FC with hundreds of members could - in theory - get many of those members to vote in their favour.

Also this. Making an art contest a popularity contest would defeat the purpose of even trying. As long as you're popular, you win. Let people judge that are actually at least somewhat qualified (that is, affiliated with the contest makers).

They're not actually serious, this is a response to the threads about people asking for ways to get the old Top 100 pvp rewards.

OP wrong windmill to charge at since the same reward pool is offered for every forum contest. Should have gone after the legacy items or maybe pre-order bonuses instead.

Damn someone fell for the bait. Well played OP.

Did you know.... that there are actually people who do believe that rewards should no longer be exclusive, regardless of whether the OP is bait? And did you also know.... that what I said is still true, regardless of whether the OP is bait?

It's more likely than you think.

As someone else mentioned I mean being as they offering same rewards repeatedly for each contest, sort of already waters down the exclusivity. Also does the screen shot contest even require skill, I thought the winners were picked at random? Have not bothered to read the rules. Another thing is they made this post due to the top 100 pvp rewards, in which the older rewards are not longer in the game, while the contest rewards still have options. Aka the bait comment.
