<p>This would be cooler if they actually rewarded...still waiting on july's reward, sent in 3 petitions, and always just say we are aware of the issue.</p>

<p>Here is my response to all this.</p><p><img src="http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/559358_4541953110762_1121296770_n.jpg" width="640" height="444" /></p>

[Cyliena]

<p>While I did submit a picture to the contest, I do have to wonder about the title of this post. Why would a quest reward cause me to laugh out loud?</p><p>@Feldon: wouldn't doubt it has worse quality than a cell phone camera if it's valued at $100 and retail value of cells now are $400-$600 for the "cheap" ones.</p>

[Calthine]

<p>I think the Bloggie's like 3 year old tech, too.  They've been doing Fan Faire blogger contests involving Bloggies for at least two years.</p>

[Pengefinchess]

<p>considering that everyone in game gets these "rewards" whether theyv done something to make more "likes" or not i cant see the point of these contests.</p><p>Btw iv had my lon cards but no potion on /claim</p>

Each entry adds +50 likes as well, ensuring that we'll "win" this month's "quest".</p><p>My potion is in /claim, check the "Promotions" tab. If I'm correct it's the Extended Potion of the Advanced, and apparently it's only 1/account.... because we all know how much people love 1/account things.</p>

[Gwynn]

<p>Yeah, potions - this one and others - ought to be one per character.</p><p>I wish mounts and house items were one *per server*...</p><p>But any heirloom mount will come in handy when you want to run a string of alts through your account. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Do i?</p><p>But then if each entry adds 50 likes to the page that makes the original "quest" even more of a pointless exercise.</p><p>Maybe im getting old... get off my lawn!</p>

<p>Unsurprisingly, SOE doesn't understand what a "meme" really is.  However, I'd wager that when most people think about quest rewards and memes, facepalm comes to mind.</p>
