    madò mi avete fatto chiudere due thread uno manco può stare afk un mese che tutto il suo thread sono insulti al coma che non lavora e alla gameforge

    I just wrote that if people do not want to donate, they might not want to pay some sort of participation fee either.

    I would like to see how many people would join Forum Contest without prizes.

    Also, why would someone pay to enter a tournament when the donate thing is just optional? They can join even without donating, so they aren't going to do it.

    With entry fees, people will have to actually pay to join a tournament, so they WILL have to, at least, put some efforts into it and ALSO they will be able to win a prize.

    The actual prize justifies the efforts of winning the event and the payment of the entrance fee.


    Also, we're not talking of PvP events specifically. We're talking about ANY TYPE of contest that Users can make, competitive or uncompetitive.

    Since GameForge doesn't seem to care about Elsword, they aren't going to give Users the prize pool for their events, and if GF is going to do, the prize pool will be really small.

    The last event made by the community was, like, Kerialstraz tournament? 1# edition, first place was...€10 coupon.

    While NA did even $200 tournaments/giveaways, etc. And not coupons, I'm talking about real money.

    Of course EU is smaller than NA(actually not even by much, NA playerbase at the moment is pretty much the same as EU)but the important point here is that GF doesn't care about Elsword as much as NA does.

    They want indeed a prize but since it's a donate thing they won't because they know that probably no one is going to donate.


    If you don't like the competitive scene of X thing, then don't say "there's no need do free lmao" just because you're bad at being competitive on X thing.

    As you can do un-competitive forum events with prizes, we want to do competitive events or just in-game events with prizes. Is this such a bad thing?


    The Main purpose of forum events isn't to give prizes, is to make people care about the game and its forum. How do you do that? By giving prizes, you know, people like them.

    Currently I'm hosting a weekly PvP event and, at the moment, I did host #8 editions.

    Only in the #1 edition someone actually donated.


    Donations won't work because people won't donate. As simple as that.

    Free tournament won't ever get big because there won't ever be a prize. It's like saying "do forum events without a prize", I would like to do it so you'll just see how no one is going to join.

    And yes, I won't personally farm 24/7 to get the EDs for it. As no one else should do.

    This means that you can't do a contest without either cashing or being a real farmer who has lots of money.

    Or being more staffers than actual partecipants, since you need a lot of people to form a decent prize pool.


    also:

    Quote from Glacieme

    The reason for that rule is to protect participants from being exploited. Let's assume you create a type of event where it is possible for participants to win but there is a chance that there is no winner, who will receive the accumulated ED in such a case? The creator of the event?


    Then just remove the second comma of 5.2 so staff can check where the ED goes? Simple as that


    tl;dr 5.2 is wrong
