Guild Wars 2

Not that I’m not enjoying the idea of this update (cus I am), but why do we random adventurers, none of whom can technically call Lion’s Arch home, get the right to vote for the council seat?

We do get to vote right? Or are we merely gathering influence for each candidate? like being part of their grassroots campaign so to speak. And just whoever ends up with the most support will win the vote, even if we don’t get to actually vote on anything?

“Evon Gnashblade and Ellen Kiel are trying to work out a trade agreement with the Zephyr Sanctum in order to help them secure a spot on the Captain’s Council of Lion’s Arch. Use Support Tokens and coins to help out your candidate of choice!”

I think we’re just helping them get the trade agreement, and the one who gets it is worthy of the council seat.

Hmm looks like it will be mainly a vote based on grinding, if those vote tokens can only be gotten through the “survival” aetherblade pirate event.
