I'm sure you would bitch post your dislikes too if you had a band that made finals (or even won) and didn't get shit.

Excuse you? I know you did not just post that. I like how classy some people think they are if they praise staff and knock the differing opinions. So much one-sided empathy here lol. X)

Oh, yes I did post that because I'm pretty sure there are more people who enjoyed than you believe. Like any other feedback for any website, restaurant, or service provider you'll hear complaints way before compliments. We get to hear the same 10 people's distaste for the event so I have the right to share my pleasure for it. I do have empathy for people who deserve more prizes and think they should be rewarded more as I stated if would you read, but I don't have empathy for people who are dragging their complaints all over these threads steering them off topic and some going a step further and insulting the staff. You're unhappy, we got it. You deserve more prizes, yes, I agreed (and the staff has acknowledged it and is working on it). They've answered the same 40 questions people are asking (who don't want to hear the answer so they keep asking). I on the other hand enjoyed the event thoroughly, even with the hiccups and snags and hope they do something like this and more in the future (with tweaks).

Thank you for taking care of this.

why was second place winners able to make items but no trophy and extra achievement for them?

Because they didn't win their genre

Locking because this has been taken care of :)
