...is it the magnitude of how many people enter that upsets you?
there are only so many that enter every month- how many months have you entered?
i can't guarantee that you are BOUND to win AU, however with shield goals, there are incentives such as what you said- clothes eggs etc- that reward players for their collections with site wide benefits, such as more RP, more memory points if you're able to garner collections and goals for putting in your time to the site, etc.
you have a respectable set of collections yourself. do you not spend the amount of time to garner said collections to make MP? why not simply buy AU via the MP you invest your time in?
if you're arguing for a more "difficult" incentive to enter in the AU checklist, you should recognize that the checklist is intended for a fair entry for ALL players including yourself
the flash games are not hard. they are designed for a pet site for all ages, and even at worse you're only able to complete a handful, you can play a few per day until you have the credentials to enter the checklist.
more importantly, if checklist IS that hard, then why does it need to be even HARDER with collections?? are you not contradicting yourself?
sorry, but your argument has no weight all things considered. staff would never agree to it, and as a passerby who happened to stumble upon your comment, i don't agree with it either. i hope you're able to win in the near future as you seem to put enough into this site to garner at least a win of 5 AU from checklist if you haven't already, you've clearly paid your due diligence however life isn't fair and mara is no exception @erikaz13
