Besides,we need building contests,its he main event that we have,and kinda need cuz there hasn't been any official contests in a while.
And if you build IS that good,you will win Yes,yes,that would work,there would then be a vote and voilà
If you've explored enough at the build contest realms you'll see that some builds really deserved a spot but didn't get any.
Inflation is always a problem in mmo games
What we need is more fair-for-all events. Mazes, Parkours, Races, whatever that has a guestbumper at the end and that gives everyone equal chances. We need to destroy the monopolies that have been built ever since 2014. And it's better for everyone if there is no violence in doing so... But there is more than just one plan.
If we have a building contest, then another fair-for-all contest must come up at the same time. But sadly our official event manager has been cutting it short for some time now hasn't it. Having no event is better than a building event.
Less competitive? I think it's the opposite. Too many don't even bother to join building contests because they have no chance. Last building contest had 150 rented plots at MOST. I believe that the actual number is slightly under 100 but let's approximate it at 150. Now, the average fair-for-all contest has at least 300 entries, and even more if it's easier to be finished (up to 700-900 and even 1000).
Build contests - more fair than parkour/races.
Mazes - Probably the fairest, yet one of the harder ones.
Parkours - Most of the time unfair due to perks being required.
Races - It is a 50/50. You can have people who use shortcuts with no speed demon and people who dont use shortcuts with speed demon, or vice versa.
The pros to a certain event usually win.
Parkours usually have the skilled players (and a lot of the time requires jumpman and speed demon) and apparently that is fair-for-all?
The races are not always fair-for-all, considering people have speed demon.
The build contests are a little more fair, because you do not need a perk, (maybe jump man/faster mining to build/break faster) but they still require blocks and skill. But blocks can be obtained quite easier than the next level (and a useful perk is not guaranteed).
Not to say parkours are not fair, just sometimes you need perks, and sometimes you do not but perks make it easier (take for example, spudbug kong, as it is harder [easy still none-the-less] without jump man because with jump man, you can beat it in under 10 seconds.
And build contests can be unfair, because some do not have cubits for it. I never enter it because I need the cubits (Ik u get them back), but I usually need them short after.
In conclusion, they all are equally fair-for-all.
In case you didn't notice, this saying goes for every building contest upto now: "Build something that fits (insert holiday/occation here)". It makes these event so bland from time to time.
I won't be joining any building contests if it has nothing new. I'm sure many other building-lovers would feel the same thing.
