Vote for Points rewards

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.

Account locked gears have a slim to nil chance of being a turn-off. If anything is going to be considered broken it'd be the double card effect in wings. To my experience wings are always the #1 turn-off for iRO and "vanilla" RO players. They kept me away for longer than I'd like to admit. Compared to the broken lucky box events and overpowered cash shop items on officials though I don't see them as the problem I once did...lol There isn't a single hatter hat that I can think of that would possibly be viewed as game-breaking.

Oh, then that works even better. Unless we screw up and totally break the game with the mids/lowers, we can ignore the fact that they'd deter players at all. Also, account locking is to make it such that people have to choose to vote on accounts other than their main accounts for points, which would fuel the points for the next annual cycle of the (same?) set of gears available via Vote for Points.

Edit: And with the right number of points/zeny buyout for insane items such as the Black Glasses, account locking them would allow for the Red Glasses to not drop /too/ much in value.

Edit2: @Matrim - how many are we talking about though? Enough to get many months' worth of items? Or something that takes as many points as it takes to get one month's item? At which point do you see a balance where it wouldn't disrupt the value of the fairy auction's service or reduce the number of donated services (by too much)?
