I seriously doubt anyone at SE will even read this but figured I might as well put it out there for consideration.
I'd like to propose that Extreme Crafting: Ishgard Edition get similarly cool rewards like the folks in Feast do. Here are my points to support this:
1. Extreme crafting takes luck AND skill. Feast takes luck AND skill. Not every craft is a winner. Not every Feast match is a winner.
2. Leaderboards with names and such should just be for show. Ranking should fall into tiers like Feast does. X,xxx ponts puts you in Diamond, Platinum, Gold, etc. Once you're in there, you know your reward/title is guaranteed. You don't have to no-life your way to the top. Top place should get a trophy just like Feast does.
3. If you DO want to no-life your way to the top, at least you have a chance with Extreme Crafting, because it's not 100 people per datacenter, it's 100 people per server per class. Still a small percentage but nevertheless more attainable. There's still competitive spirit going on. I never understood why Feast didn't do this, at least separated by type of class... so Tank/Healer/Magic DPS/Melee DPS.
4. You can't pay someone to craft and turn in stuff on your behalf like you know... happens with some players...in PVP... it's all on you.
5. If you miss out on the rewards one season because of life obligations, COVID19 or what have you, they're always there the next season so you feel motivated to try again.
If you already won one season, you can still donate but it won't matter because you already got your rewards and now others can try (or you know, your alts can try because stuff is always there to work toward).
6. You don't have to worry about match fixing. This is such a problem it's laughable. It's no wonder why so few people even bother. Throwing shiny things at the problem isn't going to fix it, but you know that. That whole place is a pit of vipers. Watch your step!
TL;DR whoever designed Ishgard crafting should be put in charge of Feast.
