There was ample warning about the vote.
And the reason why it's closed to non-RPC folks... is what Aysun said.
And why would RPC members hold a vote including everyone else not in it? It's like Canadians voting for the U.S.A. president. Sure we all live in North America but it wouldn't make sense!
The RPC supports its members, not the whole FF XIV community at large.
Besides, everyone would rather play with their friends and acquaintances rather than with strangers, no?
We could have waited to get more members, but people wanted an early vote due to phase 4 coming fast and phase 4 characters staying around for launch.
As I said before though, this whole thing is just for people to know what name to click on to play with other RPers. That's really all there is to it.
People love to have a say though, it's perfectly natural.
I'm just weird in that I rather a server be arbitrarily chosen just so I know where to roll. o_O
