    New contest - again only for a small amount of player

    Again SE, a lot of people cant participate for a signed poster of Yoshi-P! I really dont know why i should keep supporting Square-Enix. It gives me the feeling of those who dont life on the listed countries dont count for Square-Enix.

    I thought the first one was like: we test it out, lets see whats happening. But now the "whats if dalamud" contest is over, and a lot of people said its unfair for those who dont life in the small amount of cities to not let them participate, but Square-Enix did it again.

    (If you find spelling mistakes keep them, english isnt my main language.)

    Then they should only make contests where they can include most countries. Like this one:

    no, once again thats the "something for everyone" mentality. Its nice that SE have contest with IRL items that you can touch with your actual hands, and it really sucks that some people cant participate. Taking it away from everyone because some people cant play is just dumb. People should write letters to there government instead of complaining to SE.

    A solution could be to have one competition where these four countries can participate with a physical item, and one for the rest of the countries with a virtual item.

    That said, I find it hard to believe that 46/50 European countries won't allow competitions like this. I think it's more a matter of it being more convenient for SE to do it the way they're doing it now.

    The laws of many countries don't differentiate *at all* between physical and digital prizes.

    SE is actually doing well at spreading contests around between regions. Most devs just chose one (normaly the US) and always go with that, ignoring the others.

    There's a really funny yet really sad story about this, but I'll save it for another time.

    No. That's boring, as well as a "If I can't have it then no one can" attitude.
