The extreme frustration is that five of the eight selected winners were not entered in the contest. Apparently ineligible routes that didnt even meet the rules requirements were considered better choices.
Now I know my routes, and certainly not the dozens of other routes were not so bad that it seemed like it would be better to just chose invalid winners. Even moreso for what is supposed to be a lighthearted and fun event for everybody where prizes have no monetary value.
So to me, it seems there is something else. And after all the work and limited gaming time I got was spent making a full rules abiding package of events, I just get a "nah. We want these ones from over a year ago from peeps who didnt enter this time".
It is a figurative slap in the face. So I am certain it isnt what we were told. Not when they were prattled off really fast in a footnote during stream full of filler then winners posted in a tucked away post. I just would like to understand in believeable terms why a thread full of valid entries (not just my own) were ignored in favour of ones that completely were inadmissible by the written rules of the contest.
There has to be a logical reason. Why didnt we get any notification about this change? If there is more to it than "we felt like it" then why not explain it? Why not chat or work with us? I mean it is just basic civility...
I mean yeah. I honestly expected one of mine to win. I considered this batch to be much better than routecomp 1. But I could only win one of those eight selected. So it isnt just a case of I didnt win that has me flustered.
Four other people who entered and worked hard on their routes were also denied their wins, their chance to feel the joy of loging in, seeing their track promoted. Having that good feeling of going to the notifications and seeing a big number of likes plus the goodfeels of knowing that they shared a lot of fun with others. And personally, that has killed my enthusiasm for doing route creation in forza anymore and I will have to seriously consider and think to get up the motivation to enter if there is a routecomp3
