While that may be true, Vegas is also like the convention capital, and it's probably the easiest place to get a booking for an event that pulled in 1300+ people in ONE DAY last year.
I dont disagree with SoE wanting it in Vegas. I do however feel like they have manipulated the whole "poll" thing the past couple of years. It's their company and they can do w/e they want wherever they want. But if they want it in Vegas then why start poll's so people can vote where its going to be.
I could be completely wrong in the fact that they are manipulating it. Last year Orlando was in the lead and everyone was skepticle because for some reason they knew Vegas would win no matter what. Then the polls got "hacked" and there was around 4k+ votes on each city. So they restart the polls and Florida got half the votes of the original poll. The other city at the time (cant remember which) got like 1/4 of their original votes.
If FF does not come to Florida thats fine. But at least spread it around more. Give others a shot to go and meet the devs, hit on FV, or w/e it is people do at Fan Faire.
Hell if SOE is so keen on having it in Vegas, why even create a poll at all? If they are biased and steer the convention to Vegas, why not just announce its gonna be in Vegas and save us the frustration of thinking its even going to be held in another city. Its like every other year its in Vegas, and if my predictions are right this will be the the 2nd time its held in the same city back to back.
