@Dezed, While your point may hold true about you being a part of the current paying members who have the right to this poll, why shouldn't paying members of the past who are currently f2p be allowed to vote? I've contributed years worth of membership to this game in the past, but recent updates have made the game less and less appealing to me. By limiting it to only current members, they cut out a very important part of the polling population. I know that I am certainly not the only person ****idering buying a membership if this is reimplemented, and reimplemented at a reasonable price. While I understand that opening polling to the entire f2p could lead to skewed results, by limiting it to only current members it is also skewing results, in the other direction.
While I do not know for sure what kind of feasible options there are to fix the voting population, I do know that in order to post on these forums as f2p your account needs to meet certain requirements. Whether they were to implement a total level requirement to vote, or to open voting to certain accounts that have been around for a long period of time (like accounts *hat are able to receive the veterans cape), I believe there is a much better way to count the votes in this poll.
