That really depends. If the mayor is bad, someone will most probably step up and take his place.
If the mayor is a good ruler and does stuff properly, then i don't see why people who are happy with him would want him replaced.
Thankyou for telling me. I changed it.
Because it will be like in real life politics, bribes will happen, favors will happen, for and against parties will happen.
I'm fairly sure this is the point of the whole thing.
You think the whole point of the game is to have popularity contests that give game breaking advantages to certain people and their friends?
Well, there are popularity based features. I don't see why they should be removed.
Bribes and in-game politics will happen regardless and they are a part of the experience.
If a mayor is bad for the node, they will get the boot at some point and replaced, or people will get mad, form a group and siege the node.
I don't see why there should be special precausiouns for those special 30 people out of the, potentially, 100s of thousands of players.
Nope.
I'm fairly sure the point of the political system is to encourage bribes, favors and other such dealings.
These kinds of things tend to destroy online communities like this, not build them. When these larger communities get taken down, it creates intregue and interest, which is what Ashes node and content system kind of needs in order to function as intended.
Stream sniping and 'ganking' streamers will be worse than in WoW Classic phase 2, ruining streamers life/gameplay, losing stuff (upon x circumstances), killing their mounts, etc,... it might be ok for first or second time for them, but after that they'll just leave game or play it only off stream.
So there is nothing to worry about.
