I'm too lazy to datamine but when it comes to people who always enter skin contests there's like a group of 10-20 regulars.
And like it's super common that most of the winners each festival are regulars, either because they don't break the rules or because their aesthetic vibes with the judges.
Could skin contests being open longer give non-regulars more time to fix issues? perhaps? but like idk if that means more non-regulars will win.
To be honest, MVs skins are my aesthetic but also, they aren't all female ridgebacks/same design? I would have loved a fest themed rb set from their user shop though.
Other accent makers had runs of often they are a winner in the past (to the point where I could see the name and go oh that image is prob theirs bc aesthetic)
Really what I want more than anything now that we have so many breeds is more than 14 skin slots, grand exchange makes buying them so much easier than the rng chaos of restocking used to be.
So like if there are 18 skins and I don't have some breeds/vibe with an artist, maybe I'll find something I love vs 14 slots and math is less likely.
