LIMITED-TIME CONTENT Avatar Showdown

[ATA]Will said:
Hey folks,
Thanks for the feedback so far on this new mechanic.

We realize a number of folks aren't happy about EC's being required to vote. The logic on this decision was that an EC cost would prevent folks from spamming the voting system, so that votes would have a weight to them. The intention being that people would only vote if they actually want the avatar at the end, and most folks would just vote once.

We had originally planned on having only one vote per person with no stats on the items. But after thinking on it, we figured some may really like the Avatars and so we put in a cap of 10 votes per person for folks that really passionate about these avatars, while still preventing spam votes. We then tried to offset these EC costs a bit by adding stats to the Voting Coins, so they were worth more than just voting, but I do realize the stats aren't crazy high. I hope this context helps explains how we got here.

In the comments here, I have seen some interesting suggestions like using Cash instead, or instituting other types of vote caps, but the concern is that this would then mean players with the most Alternate accounts or most Cash get to pick the winner, whether they actually want the Avatar at the end or not. Which kind of defeats the purpose.

Again, we appreciate everyones feedback here and if we decide to run something like this again (for the ladies of course), you may see tweaks that will hopefully address y'alls concerns. It has honestly been really helpful to hear what everyone thinks.

Finally, as a heads up it does look like the Ninja's are currently winning by a small margin!
Personally I'm in favour of the Viking, so I really hope he doesn't get sent off to Valhalla!

Best,
ATA - Will

The idea of restricting the votes to the people who are really interested is cool. But atleast the tokens need to be tradable since some people want to vote but don't want to buy the avatar at the end of the day. Incentivising the 5ec with a stat item is amazing but make it tradable so atleast it makes sense. The tokens are as useless as the trophies we get from parties. Making them tradable atleast adds some layer to it's rarity and feels rewarding.

Over pimd imagine lmao but the ppl in they feelings about no female avis are what? Happy? Fix ur face n dig deep within urself then ask why ur reading it in that tone lolol maybe ur triggered cuz I said they have plenty n the men always get shorted, or was it cause I suggested they help men advocate for 3m/3f don't even answer that cuz I'm not responding anymore 🥱😴
 
First off, ew. Why are the ninjas winning? Vikings are love. Skol! Secondly, as much as I want to vote for this, you are very much aware that we just came out of covid times and a lot of us are struggling with finances. Why on EARTH would you think it's a great idea to make us pay for votes as well as an expensive avatar?

Had to look at your Year award (if applicable) and I was right. You obviously haven’t been around long enough with this assumption.

Okay, I’ve been here 7 years and ATA has always been this way 🌚 the game has nothing to offer other than avatar, dorms, and the global chat feature. If it weren’t for those things and the booming role play community, there would be NOTHING here to appeal to users. So, they have to capitalize on that and price gauge ridiculous, useless, in-game items so that the people who work in their studio make $$$. It literally has always been like this because that’s how business works 👍🏽

This whole voting thing is particularly lowdown though but I can’t blame them, since people have actually bought this crap 😳
