voting sites are available to everyone 24/7
so its up to everyone themself if they have gold or not.
I dont have gold , too lazy & stoned to vote daily(or vote at all) while not playing.
i wont have gold when starting , ill just play the game and progress without billions in gold and im ok with it
all runewords mid game? it would make em worthless, only maybe used with the first chars , rest is rushing anyway...
