Voting is generally a fail-safe idea. Sure, you can vote based on popularity, however, if they cannot lead siege, participate in PVP/PVE, aid the faction like a leader, then you are popular for no reason. The faction cannot benefit from a useless popular person, hence why would anyone vote for them? Everyone will soon see what they have lost by illogical/emotional voting. You are popular because you are good at PVP/PVE, knowledgeable in the game, kind, fair and respectable leader. You won't get votes by pity. You can even be rude to the bone, but if you have ability, that will always speak muc
