If I may:
This popularity contest has absolutely nothing to do with the devs or the release of updates. It has no connection whatsoever.
This supposed 'contest' is being run by a totally different part of the Disney organization. It doesn't even have any interface to the game.
Voting is by email or PM. Nothing in the game is being used as an interface.
The Devs are software people. This is bean counting. A promotion such as this is going to be handed off to the most junior summer interns to either just sit and count the votes as they come in, or to actually read them and then "chose" a winner either by voting for the one ballot they liked best, or more realistically, they are going to chose one at random.
More than likely, this is being done by the Public Relations, or Communication, or some other department. It has absolutely nothing to do with the developers.
Should I say it again? This has nothing to do with the developers or the release of any updates.
I give Disney credit that they try things like this. Since they broke DxD last September, and haven't fixed it yet, they can't do anything like the "Best Pirating Contest" So, this at least gives them an 'event' to say that they ran one.
I just wish that they didn't do a popularity contest. Clicks and gangs are no way to run the game or a site.
I do like the idea of someone making a level 1 basic, and everyone voting for that pirate. It would be hilarious if Disney published that as the BEST pirate in the game. (But, then again, I love sarcasm.)
