It's just too precious a thing to play with.

And whilst it is somewhat greedy (and a little annoying) that some people have won twice/more by using multiple accounts to enter and receive on their main character, it's not exactly unfair. If you have 2 lottery tickets that both win, I'm pretty sure you can claim both tickets and have thus won twice. You have paid for that luxury, and in the event neither win, you've paid twice for it and gained nothing. It's not quite the same as with this, since you're paying for accounts to play the game and not win these events, but the principle is similar.
The issue though isn't so much the mules, but rather's SE's account set up. I have an alternate account and character, but it is part of my Square-Enix ID. I didn't realize that in doing so I would set myself up to not being able to get a 2nd vote in things like this, because I have a second character and still pay two subscription fees. This isn't really about how much someone pays so much as it is their setup. Clearly they wanted to limit it to one vote per person by restricting it to SE IDs.

I think this warrants a phone call to remove my alt account from my Square-Enix ID and give it its own SE ID. Since apparently doing so gives me less of a chance at winning things like this that may be held in the future.
