If you do look at the prices, they just hover around 10m, with variations based on the sudden increases or decreases in demand. There is no need to stabilize it; it's already stable.

Recurring votes occur regardless - they allow you to get multiple items for another month where you see something really nice. That and, if we threw in consumables such as sesame pastries, honey pastries, delicious cakes, etc, it would still help continue the flow of votes.

Personally i don't think that notion is good for the server's image.
If the gears are account locked, then this won't be an issue. If anything, the people looking on our page would stumble upon the many hatter's hats we have to offer and see that as broken instead.

Adding GM services to the list of Vote for Points rewards would reduce the fairy auction service, which is one of the more stable zeny sinks we have on the server. Fewer zeny sinks isn't an adverse affect to you? Also, AFAIK the mid/lower gears are going to be added, but they'd be balanced to the server so I don't see it as an issue at all.
