Having these items be non-tradable is a deterrent for me to vote to acquire them as when I'm done with them I would be stuck with them whereas the other items, I could sell off/trade/move to another account/stack and collect. I think someone would have to be really insistent on wanting a specific item to vote for an untradable vote shop item they knew they would be stuck with permanently and held no value.
I understand the wish to be able to sell the rewards for money when you no longer want them and would be fine with facilitating that by making them alchable. But I have no qualms about giving it to you straight: we need to get as close to 100% of the player base to vote. That's what the rewards are intended to incentivize, so giving lazy people an opt-out of voting by having the ability to buy the rewards for cash is undesirable. And yes, quite frankly, if at some point you want the cosmetics on a different account, we want you to keep voting to get them on that account as well.

At present you make 2740-4060 points a month by voting every day (depending on whether you catch the 12h resets as well). All the new cosmetics combined cost a total of 7000 points. That means you can get them all on a single account in just over 2.5 months, or 1 month and 3 weeks if you also do the 12h resets. We need people to keep voting year-round so the pricing is pretty much tailored around the idea of doing it on your alts after you're done with your main. If we wanted people to only have to unlock the cosmetics once and then be able to use them on all their accounts, we would have to make it take a lot longer to get them.
I completely understand. Thank you for the explanation.

Iron vote rewards was the single most important update this server could have possibly received. I cannot be convinced otherwise. Tbh I may now be online more knowing this thing is getting votes and is being actively developed again.

One of the best updates I've seen since joining. Not just because I'm an iron- but because it provides a huge benefit to the server and appeals to one of the most requested suggestions.
