The winning entries will are not based on the quality of a post, but rather the post number itself. We understand that not everybody is a great writer and we wanted to keep the contest fair and balanced by giving away the prizes in a lottery style drawing using a randomizer.
With that being said, let's get on with the list of all 20 lucky winners!

Thanks again to all who entered, and congrats to our lucky winners! And for those of you who didn't win, don't worry... we have more contests coming soon!
And my problem aren't single sentence wonders, I just feel bad for Bashiok when he gets to humongous posts that do nothing but repeat a previous poster, but with awful grammar.
And then you'd say, Well, did you say the same thing everyone else did? "...yes :(". Well, there's your answer.
Blizzard judging them and sending them back does sound pretty cool, but that doesn't seem like it was ever an option. I think this is the closest we will ever get to being involved with Blizzard.
If we judged them instead of Blizzard, we may still be missing good ideas. There's a big difference between 20 and 30. That's at least 10 possible good ideas lost. It doesn't seem like much, but its a lot considering only 20 would have been sent.
From myself and the rest of the Diablofans staff (especially Elfen heheh), thanks a lot Murderface.
now, i am a bit dissapointed about the way you guys went about deciding, well i guess it wouldnt be deciding since you didnt have any part in a randomly generated lottery style of picking winners. based on what i read in the rules set before us i would imagine you wanted information on pvp and trading, perhaps i just didnt think outside the box but when the rules say:
**Simply be creative and post one or more detailed suggestions or your personal wishes for the Diablo 3 Team ... What do you want to see in Diablo 3 concerning Trading features and PvP features. Post them below.**
now... if i had asked the question, and ill use baseball as an example cause i play and know quite a bit about the sport...
*simply be creative, i would like some detailed suggestions on how to be a better baseball player... what can you tell me concerning pitching and batting. Post them below.*
had that question been asked and some guy gave me all kinds of imformation on how to play 3rd base or be an outfeilder or gave me an exercise routine... although they are good suggestions thats not what i was looking for in an answer. although it was not crystal clear and the question was a bit vague i alluded to wanting to know only about pitching and batting.
same goes for what you guys asked... why was there a line asking for info on trading and pvp if thats not what you wanted to hear? why didnt you just leave it at posting personal suggestions for the diablo 3 team? also, i noticed a comment on how you checked that each winner had a different IP so you knew it was not from someone creating multiple accounts and reposting. why didnt you just say it was going to be a random drawing then? if you have a way of verifying that each entry is from a single computer and there couldnt be multiple posts from the same person, then you should have stated it would be random.
either way, it was a very poor judging decision and can hardly be called a "contest" in my opinion. and for the guy that said 308 posts is near impossible to read and judge.. LOL.. that just proves you are a very lazy judge. it could easily be narrowed down to 50 good, quality, detailed entries concerning pvp and trading. from there it would not be hard to pick the top 20, based on innovative ideas, profound statements, well thought out and detailed explanations and examples.
it seems you have justified yourselves and will probly delete my post after you read this but for future reference, if you are going to have a contest set the rules, follow them, dont ask for information on a specific topic if you will accept anything, if its going to be a randomly assigned lottery pick win state so.
overall, im dissapointed, i dont care that i didnt win as i hardly play wow enough to want a beta key or pet which isnt helpful. but i am dissapointed in thinking that a well thought out post had no weight against a loosly thrown together idea. oh well, end of my venting, i feel better now.
oh and again, congratulations winners. you got a /roll higher than me
ha i could see the look on there faces if they saw 40 of the ideas only saying "d3 is poopy"...
they probably would never visit this site agian...
histerical...:D
Yes. Yes he does
I should really get back on my tauren and play with him...
I wonder if Blizzcon will have a pet...
they could completely disregard everything, or purposefully make everything the opposite... and not lose significant sales. 7k members here, D2 sold 4.5 million copies as of 2001. diablo series altogether 18.5million copies worldwide(various google search numbers)
Assume D3 was a flop in blizzard terms, selling only a million copies.. these forums would be less than 1% of the playerbase.
Hope for it, sure... but don't bank on it as if we're a key demographic.
I still have that level 28 Orc, but recently I switch to the Kil'Jaeden realm. So I can't play with your tauren.
Not sure which character I want to spend my pet code on yet.
I mean come on a Death Knight named Fluffy being followed around by Tyrael? (ok I won't name him fluffy but you get the point).
