If you look in the history of contest leaders you may see where the leaders started to get more and more the same. On the first contest - a bridge too far - pretty much all the leaders had different cool bridges. Although some were free models, they still weren't all the same and there were still a lot of good creative ones. Now if you look at the Pirate building contest and the Earth day building contest we started to get very similar games with many free models. Then if you look at the contest we have now - it's all the same free model. The contests are getting worse and worse and really, they have already crashed and burned.
We seriously need to fix contests by getting rid of the 2 things preventing the actual GOOD builders from participating in the contests: Voting accuracy and short contest times.
The voting accuracy is flawed because everyone votes for the place that will give them more points and not the one they think is better, because the voters only want the prize and they usually don't care who wins. So the free model copyed games always win because the voters know that if they vote for them they will get points no matter what. I think voting should go like this: You click the button that says play and vote. It works the same way only instead of voting accuracy you vote 20 times, and at the end of those 20 votes you get 10 robux, and an extra robuck for each vote where you played both games. you cannot vote anymore after those 20.
Contest times! To build a good game builders seriously need more time then just 6 days. Let players know in advance what the next contest will be while the current contest is in session. This will give more time for the builders.
TL;DR
Contests are flawed. Voting accuracy should just be normal voting only with a robux reward, and we should know what the next contest will be. |
