To be honest, just thinking about it, I don't see it passing.

42.5k is already, I think, the most voters ever in a poll - by some margin, too. Where are new voters going to be found? Who wouldn't have heard of the poll already?

Add to that, there has to be nearly 1500 people voting yes, with nobody voting no, it seems unlikely.

It's been fluctuating between 1450 and 1550 to pass since I got up. It's down a bit from last night, I think it was about 1.7k then.

But voting isn't carrying on at a linear rate. There were about 34k votes 12 hours after the poll release, and 12 hours on there's 42.5k. As time progresses it becomes harder and harder to find those players that haven't already voted.

So really... I'm not seeing it happening at this rate. Sailing

It's probably going to end up >74.5% but <75%, which will cause the poll page to read 75%. Then everyone not familiar with the poll page will be confused.

GE's kind of a big deal, though. I'd think if someone's going to know about the poll, they'll already know about it... hence it's already got like 30% more voters than any other poll i've seen. Streamers were going on about it all yesterday. I think we've seen the effect of that - 42.5k total votes - so I don't know where they're going to be able to find new voters. Sailing

The previous trading solution poll had about 30k votes, this one is currently at 43k but it is being hyped up this time around. You may be right about not many more voters left but I want to be hopeful, this one simple update has the potential to bring so many players back to playing the game and it would be a shame to see it fail by such a tiny margin.
