Did Astrid Get the Most Votes on Every Server?

Are you guys still on about this? At this point I think people need to calm down. It's just some forgettable holiday event.

An event with a VERY odd conclusion involving a set of options apparently heavily skewed in a specific direction. Wouldn't know since I'm just how hearing about the thing since I've been out of the game for a bit.

A majority of servers in favor of one aspect would be understandable, given the aesthetic sensibilities of many who play the game, but every server? I dunno

Do you guys seriously think there is some conspiracy by SE, that Astrid had to win? Where is that X Files theme track..

This goes way beyond SE, my friend. This goes straight to the top.

I honestly don't care who won. I just picked the elf guy because he was kinda cute and had my favorite color....and also his choice seemed like the best.

But honestly. If SE does this again, it should be between a miqo'te kid and an au ra kid and the little elf girl. That way its fair and we have 3 adorable characters to pick from instead of the two least used race/gender type in the game...well beside highlander but he had the ugly face.
They should ALL have a color associated with Love Day as well so we don't have the "Oh I just picked based on the color I liked."....but then when I think about it...people will still pick based on what character is more cute...eh.this idea is bad from the start.

I’m honestly quite shocked how furious some people are over this.

I didn’t vote for her, but please stop passive-aggressively projecting your insecurities onto those who did.

It's nothing to do with insecurity. It's no secret this community has a huge bias towards cute, young, female characters. It's literally why female Miqo'te and Au Ra are significantly popular over any other group. That and it didn't help that the other two options were older, male characters no one knows about.

What if the other two choices were a Viera and Roe? Think it'll been voted better?

The viera would have won hands down. Nobody plays roe and they're not cute/waifu enough. If they was, you would see a lot more around opposed to seeing cats,dragons and bunnies around with sprinkles of lala's and midlanders.
