Besides, it is kinda odd that the contest encourages people to play as little as possible to win.

Maybe Trion really does have the community's best interests in mind.Quote:

So i should suffer from enjoying the world that Trion created? I think a fair method to reward "skill" would be to create several new challenges like hotshots or rampages and time trials just for the contest that everyone who registered could access! Give everyone 5 attempts at each challenge and collect their highest score from each event! The player with the highest score would win and i believe thats the closest way to reward real skill!
Pursuits + lottery is the only fair method. Anything else is subject to hackers.
lol letting ppl do challenges is even worse have u seen the scores that hackers get in those!!!!Quote:

It's not like you need to hack to win it either, there's just the fact that option lying about and likely to get banned for using it.
can discuss how they should do it all day long but right now think the only thing that can be agreed upon is that this contest is stupid till trion gets its **** together and gets rid of the hackers and can come up with some fair contest rules.
They've only been planning this for 5 years, be patient. I'm sure they will figure it out sooner or later (maybe never).Quote:

thats fine idea but the question is will they do that???? they can do the same thing with all the challenges, ban the top 3 ppl cause they have impossible to obtain scores, but they dont.......Quote:
