Why do MMO's cater to hoarders?
Events are meant to engage players, therefore there must be something for players to do: Ie. play minigames (or play normally) for tickets to vote with, and keep you coming back to the ballot box to vote. If players just voted once and then forgot about it for two weeks, it wouldn’t be much of an event.
I don’t have an issue at all with the support tokens and voting – I just don’t need a button every time I vote. Kinda silly, really.
