Yeah seriously, what's the point of the contest when someone who just uses full costume set gets the reward.I want to report McSkrakDog for his entry, you gave him reward regardless he had an entry of full set costume. Thats against the rules.In this contest you are supposed to value CREATIVITY, right? How is entry of full set costume valued as creative? There were dozens of other entries with entries made of different parts and you give reward to a player who posted a full set costume? I suggest you make this right asap.
"As expected, simply wearing a full matching outfit (such as all pieces of an existing class costume) doesn't cut it – they are looking for innovative or simply well-matched pieces of clothing that form a 'custom' costume of your own making"Yeah seriously, what's the point of the contest when someone who just uses full costume set gets the reward.I want to report McSkrakDog for his entry, you gave him reward regardless he had an entry of full set costume.

Anyways, who picked winners? Was it just one person? How did you actually pick them?
Meh, I may be be in a weird mood tonight or something but I think you just need to let this one slide.
Ok so the guy entered a costume that's a complete set and won something with it that he probably shouldn't have, but these kinda mistakes happen all the time.
What do you want them to do here - strip him of his prize and beg our forgiveness on forums? It's not going to happen.
It's fine to be annoyed by this kinda thing, but just watch the tone a bit.
These events are for fun. We've been getting some nice ones in the last few months and it's been good for the game.
It's nice if these things are a success...we've talked on wanting more advertising and events that help new players for years. So this kind of event is good and if there is a mistake in it then ok, point it out, but then move on and try to have a sense of humour about it.
In this case I really don't see that people were awarding prizes to friends or deliberately picking illegal costumes to get some yolos out of it. I see a good competition that had a small mistake in it.
Instead of picking out that one mistake and bashing game, I'd rather congratulate the winners and be happy that we have these things at all.

Hey everyone,
We use an internal voting system so that those involved in the procedure can help ensure entries are as close to the given rule/criteria as possible. However, this doesn't mean the net is bulletproof or that things can't slip through, as has just happened. We can only apologize for this error, though no changes will be made - the winners were chosen and those who chose them will have to live with the error and use this experience for the betterment of future 'custom' events (eg. S.O.S, Task Force, Costume Assembly, and any other events conjured up down the road).
Please bear in mind that said events are being devised and executed by a small group who wish to provide rewarding, non-scripted events for everyone to enjoy - they are not immune to making errors, but they will certainly take this feedback on-board.
Regards,
Mhul
What kind of events would you like then? Just curious...For me there are now too kinds of event in allods : the ones in which no skill is requiered (taskforce, this costume event...) that should reward all of us or at least quite a lot of us with low rewards; and the ones in which you need to make a bigger effort, to have a real knowledge of your class etc: (PMB, circle of equal ==> even if i´d also lower a bit the rewards of circle of equal to reward more players, cause 20kbc is just way too much imo, 5-6kmax would be better...)
But i´m kind of pissed of by the fact that every event now seems to be just a "you don´t need skill but try your luck as everyone else you might be picked up" while i´d prefer a "you are objectively (one of) the best of the contest = you win"
