We're aware of this issue and are discussing possible ways to ensure nobody has an unfair advantage for vote rewards this month. Thanks for the report!
Welcome to the new decade! Let's hope the Roaring 20's come with just as much jazz, but a bit less prohibition and Great Depression. 8-)

If you think a little bit you will see how its done.. and its not any abuse... so people cant be punished for being smart.

Looks like an abuse if the rules clearly state that you should not be able to get more than 20 vote points each day.
• You may gain a maximum of 20 points per account a day.
• Players that try to cheat or hack the Vote Reward System will be banned.
From vote page.

Now, let's say, considering that today is the 7th of May - then the max amount of vote points one should have (for now) is 140 (70 votes).
May has 31 days - that means the max amount of vote points one should have (at the end of the month) is 620 (310 votes).


The maths above consider you may vote at 5 different sites.
That's because I don't know exactly when they removed one of them - but the basics are the same and still applies.



Considering the 1st of May (may not be accurate) as the day OpenWoW was removed, and XtremeTop100 now awards 3 points per vote (instead of 2 - source) then what we have is:

The max amount of vote points one should have (for now) is 126 (56 votes).
The max amount of vote points one should have (at the end of the month) is 558 (248 votes).





Sorry to disappoint you mate, but I believe that is an abuse...

Hope it helps.

Exactly what Brennus said. Rules clearly state you can gain only 20 points each day. So ppl in this case were not smart, but they acted smart so they can be punished for acting smart :D.
Ofc its easy to see how it is done. I won't write it so it doesnt encourage other ppl to do it. Let's just say that those ppl with 150 points missed 2 days of cheating ;).
