People could believe first time winners win every time and it's only going to solve like 20% of why the entry numbers have dropped. Again, see 888's data--Rockbreaker's had a spike in entries because it was worth it to enter, even if you thought the same people were going to win. FR staff needs to fix this by making the contests more flashy, more worth it, more varied. You cannot depend on the playerbase to take things on faith and stop feeling demoralized when materially nothing changes with the contests.
thats very true, it just shouldn't be on the community to provide incentive to enter skin contests like this. I hope fr staff sees the thread and it gets some gears turning in their heads
Fully agree it should be on staff, not the playerbase! Honestly I wish staff were more communicative with the playerbase in general. I miss words on the wind and colouring contests.
yes, they used to round up all of the player run elemental festival events quarterly too! that was a great way to acknowledge and make the playerbase,, especially the dominance users that put so much work into events, feel seen. the radio silence feels disheartening
