I am sure votes would still be cut by atleast half, also who in the world is going to re-code all of Diablo 2 to make 2 types of Gold currencies? I hardly have time to get out a somewhat smaller than usual patch, no way I can find time to do that just for something that is just a bandaid :/
Maybe even a Voter Set, somewhere between elite sets and Cow set?
Perhaps vote currency could stored and used for things via the website. You can obviously generate custom items, maybe make some voter exclusive items, slightly less powerful than the top-tier items you'd expect people to use gold for?
