You can get ranks for free... Top month voter. Therefore MineVerse isn't really Pay2win unless you are @Swiftlicious who believes not everyone playing mineverse can vote. Now I see why you had this topic yesterday on skype :p
Add in voting glitches and availability...well, just no. There are only 5 ranks given away anyhow, and a quarter of the time they are Titan ranks given to people already Titan, who AFAIK don't give away their Titan ranks to anybody. So there are usually only 2 or 3 ranks actually given. Anyways, a few times I vote and it doesn't even register.
To be honest I'd rather just play below 1.9.2, because 1.9 pushing, 1.9 pushing *hits head against wall several times* is rather infuriating. Some things in donor kits are a bit op, and on some other threads people have mentioned that non-ranks should be able to work towards earning donor kits which I think would be a decent solution to the whole 'pay to win' scenario.
A good amount of Titans get top voter,even though they already have the rank.And 60 people a year?No way... It's still Pay2Play.
