Wowhead Contests?
Return to board index
Post by

Hi,
Not that I'm complaining or anything... but it's been awhile since we had a Wowhead Contest.
Almost every month of last year had at least one contest, it's been almost three months.
Just curious if one is coming up anytime soon? :)
Thanks!

Wowhead holds contests when they get prizes donated to them.

Maybe soon. Depends who wants to hold contests with us!
It's a shame there's always a surprising the amount of negativity surrounding contests whenever we do have them. They typically aren't really very fun for the staff. :((##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Miyari##DELIM##

D= why?

My guess is that the staff has to hear the endless whining of people who are upset that it's not available in their state/province/country without realizing that Wowhead and the contest giver have to comply to the local rules regarding contest winnings.

Sorry to hear that... but, at least you're getting paid while not having fun with it. hehe (Just messin'). I guess I'm just looking at more opportunities to get the site achievements related to the contests and of course the opportunity to win cool prizes. Really had my eye on one of those SSD's you did most recently.
Anyhow, thank you for the response, was mostly just curious if Malgayne's departure resulted in the decrease in contest frequency.

Nah. I wasn't typically going out and securing contests for the staff to run—didn't have time for that. :)

Lol, I wouldn't want to either.
Also, your company's game, Words with Friends for mobile devices is really great. My circle of friends and I are currently wasting way too much time with each other, and your game is the cause.
Lol, I play that too. Although, less frequently lately, I got kind of bored with it incredibly fast or it would simply take too long for the other player to play and I'd forget all about it.

I honestly think the prizes in the contests are awarded to wowhead admins or users on the top users page coz that's 1 added to my current 14 of wowhead contests I haven't won or even had a chance of being first prize or runner up ¬.¬(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Please don't necro old, unrelated topics.
Wowhead staff (paid or volunteer) are not allowed to win contests so that criticism is silly. People who contribute a lot to the site have the same chance as anyone else. You entered 14 contests but even if you had a 1 in 14 chance of winning that still wouldn't mean that you definitely should have won. Please enter them in the spirit that they're intended - a fun chance at getting something cool for free.

It's also important to note this thread was created by me before I became a member of Wowhead Staff.
