[Op-ed] S4 League's Community Character Creation V2

In celebration of S4 League's 7th year anniversary wow, this game survived that long? another Community Character Creation contest is hosted. I feel like it's just their excuse to get some original outfit ideas, since they seem to be running out of those, hence the re-skins of certain sets cough. But anyways... I actually considered joining the event and try to get my set turned into virtual reality. It's pretty cool to see your own creation get made into a game you play. Well, that was the original plan anyways... until I saw the actual prizes.


First prize is about 50 euros plus other things I'll get to later... 50 euros for a set that they will market off of and could potentially bring them a lot more than 50 euros otherwise, it wouldn't be considered as first place, right? The ironic part of this is that everything sold on S4 ever since Aeria took over has been overpriced. The first place prize is only gonna cover you the 2nd tiered spender, LOL. I'm not even going to get into the 2nd and 3rd place prizes.

of course there's also the rookie tier and monthly tier, but let's keep things simple here.
Anyways... I rather have my efforts spent on something else. There are people in the real world who pay commissions that are a lot more than 50 euros and that's just for artwork. Whatever, people may do as they please; I was just pointing out how subpar the prizes are.
Some people might like the idea of their creation being implemented in a game and could care less about the prize. Good for them. 

Good luck to those who enter. Maybe I'll do a continuation of this post when the winner is announced. Ah, so exciting! Despite how bad the prizes are, I'm looking forward to the winning set. I'm sick of seeing all the re-skins, anyways.


So with all that said, I think I'll bullshit my entry just so I would receive the participation prize, which is the 50k pen. Or maybe I won't even bother.
