EA Staff (Retired)@MichealYun Lots of designs from novice? This is a contest, every player is equally up against the next. There are no “levels”. Perhaps their should be levels, so the voting won’t be forced. Skewed voting is not voting at all.
Anywho. Actually, it’s your perception that is player focused and lacks objectivity. You’re considering the throwback from “novice” players who might get their feelings butt-hurt if they don’t get a star and won’t play anymore??
If? When? But? You can’t think like this and run a contest, there are going to be winners and losers. You can’t win if you don’t play, and you also can’t lose.
Let the best design win. Period. Otherwise it’s not really a contest, now is it? It’s not complicated, unless you’re playing this game. In which case, it is. Who knew voting for the best design would be so complicated. Jeez.
@SwissPiggie You have a good point…in my most recent vote today only 3 of the 10 cities had one or more sports theme buildings and only 1 of the remaining 7 actually put any effort into the design. That made 4 votes simple…sadly the other vote was for the “least worst” and it truly pains me to vote for a city that completely ignores the theme and has no concept of what a design is and to top it off had a 3.5 rating.
I don’t participate for the votes…but it troubles me when you vote for a well designed city that obviously the mayor invested time, energy and effort to create only to find them sitting at a 2.5 compared to the 3.5 “least worst” city I was forced to vote for today.
Just ran across your reply and YES!!!! I'm super frustrated that my well designed city was voted a 2 this week, but I voted on MANY cities that didn't even make the minimum population of 3,000 AND they were dark with unfinished houses. What programming is in place to allow this rubbish?! Do better, EA!
