Congratulations to our winners for the Lyrium Forge contest! Before we announce WHO, allow me to briefly explain how winners were selected.
Ultimately it came down to the community vote. With all votes in, we ordered the entries by most votes. Any individual person who ended up with multiple entries in the top votes had only their highest-voted entry counted. Any gear that appeared multiple times in the top votes was awarded to only the highest-voted entry, negating any lower-voted entries (allowing others to be pushed up to the top).
When all is said and done, we ended up with a tie for 3rd and a tie for 5th, giving us 6 winners in total. Additionally, I am making an Honorable Mention out of the most-suggested gear (despite no individual entry winning top votes), and will be updating that gear using a combination of all the entries submitted for that gear as inspiration.
On to the winners!
