A Gazebo to Call Our Own

[RDM_Sonja]

Obviously, there were many submission and winners, and most are not novel or unique idea and are derived from real life chairs, beds, tables, cabinets and literally every possible furnishing.

I am perplexed by this particular piece because none of the winners look like it, and there was a section of the patch notes that was about new furnishings that were not part of the contest.

I also just don't see what about this gazebo matches any existing glade furnishings, it fits in better to the riviera maybe. Mine looks different because mine used design principals from existing glade sets.

So I guess all I was really asking if that was a slip up in the notes, should it have been pictured as just new furnishings not contest winners, and did they mean to name it riviera not glade.

There is no error in the patch notes. Try reading them again.

Furnishings from the FFXIV Furnishing Design Contest have been added.

Additional contest entries have been selected to serve as new furnishings.

I don't see the word "winner" getting used there.

Just as a reminder - its probably a while since you looked at the rules of the furnishing design contest:

If an Entry is deemed to be excellent by Sponsor in its sole discretion, Sponsor may decide to implement it into the Game in the future. In such cases, the development team may make adjustments to the design or features of the item. Note that there is no guarantee that winning entries will be implemented into the Game. Entries that did not win may also be selected for implementation into the Game in the future.

Here: https://de.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...928991a80e5669 is a link to the rules again.

So unless you claim another player stole your idea when they submitted the Doman Gazebo, no one stol anything - when you entered the contest you basically agreed that the dev team can use your design as they see fit - alter it, add it to the game, ignore it all together without you getting something (except seeing your idea be made into an actual piece of furniture, which seems pretty cool to me already) in return.

I never said anyone stole anything. And while yes, the rules say that they can choose to implement a version of a submission after the contest period it just feels a little dirty to not acknowledge that player at least privately. the whole point in entering the contest was to have your design implemented in the game and that would be the definition of winning, and the player could at least be recognized.

But the players are recognized. It just so happens youre not one of them.
