Well-dressed Exile Competition Winners

So actually the question was whether there was a fair and complete review of the participants at all or they simply selected random works as always.
Many premium works of participants(winners) almost do not even use mtx from the main core support packs, just 2-3 participants with 1-2 things and that's it, it was a big unpleasant surprise for me.

The rules didn't address how the winners would be chosen and one could argue that random selection is as 'fair' as any other method.* When it comes to aesthetics there isn't any way to quantify something as being objectively the best. I didn't think all of the winners looked so great either, but different people are going to have different ideas about what looks good.

*Or having the winners chosen by Danny the intern.

And of course all winners have some sort of cashshop transmogs. I had no doubts that F2P players ever stood a serious chance. Can aswell be a who-spent-the-most-on-cashshop contest.

There were two categories, one "natural" (no premium cosmetics) and one "premium" (with premium cosmetics).

The natural category literally had zero cashshop transmogs as those were all not permitted to be submtited to that category.

fun :)

grats to all the winners

so the fact of the matter is that even those who spent a lot of money and took expensive support kits remained almost without a chance, because they simply didn’t choose them at all, but chose random works, you can see my post with other works on page 3 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3289342/page/3#p24671045 , I posted them for comparison with the winners

Are you in reality just sad that you put a lot of effort into your composition and weren't picked for the top 20?

In my opinion some subjectively bad submissions are in the top 20. I am open enough to understand that the jury on GGG's side might like them for what they are.

If you yourself reflect on the fact that not only your subjective taste in MTX was considered for the top20 you might find it easier to accept that your submission didn't make it.

Congrats to all, hope they do more things like this, was neat

about 5 people already agreed with my taste, they looked at all the finalists, and those screenshots that I posted in my post were highly appreciated in the community, and many people did not like the finalists because they did not see anything worthy of this in them, I generally did not I speak for myself, but for those people who really tried and did it beautifully but were ignored anyway) and again I do not argue what that your the set together with the alt art alpha howl turned out to be good (even just because he is one of the best helmets and which few people are able to get in the game to at least try to put something together with him) , but the rest of the finalists are very controversial, it's just true maybe 2-3 more - also are good . but wouldn't a set of expensive support packs bundled together be also just as good? but they were simply ignored in this contest) according to the same principle, the set was assembled along with the alpha howl helmet - since it is also rare and few people can put them together,even if you take the random work of another participant, for example, this one - I'm sure that it deserves to take 1 or 2 place in the competition) because it is not only beautiful but also incredibly expensive and difficult to assemble, and I think many will agree with me, especially those who understand what it is made of - this even is not often seen in the game
