How's the condition of the in-game economy? If it's still as volatile as I left it two months ago, we should then seriously consider Vote Reward coupons becoming redeemable at the Ticket Exchanger NPC. However, I cannot agree that 1 Vote Reward = 3 Berry tickets. We will have to come up with a reasonable exchange rate that 1) will encourage players to vote because it is worth their time; and 2) will make Donation coupons more precious so we don't just toss them around, causing wild market fluctuations. I'm thinking of 2 Vote coupons to 1 ticket, and you can only use this service if, and only if, your Vote coupons on-hand exceed a certain threshold.
Now there's an idea! The more Vote coupons you collect, the more cost-efficient rate you qualify for. So when you spend your Vote coupons and go below the threshold, you will have to pay more to get the same number of tickets. For example, let's use monthly thresholds (60 coupons per month, twice a day for 30 days). If I have less than 60 Vote coupons available, the rate is 4 coupons to 1 ticket. Between 60 and 120, 3 coupons to 1 ticket. Between 120 and 180, 2 is to 1. And for 180 and above, 1:1.
I'm trying to find the Vote Rewards page to see what's the most expensive so we can weigh the privilege of 1:1 against that vote equipment.
