Let's present this in another perspective.
Many people who play FH do not go on the forum and vote. Many don't even know that the forum exists ( Although I think that's messed up). If you were able to get votes from active members in game, I'd venture to guess the votes would lean more towards supporting wings. I feel our votes on the forum may be a touch biased, we are the ones who sit in the forums all day and discuss FH....but what about the ones who sit on FH all day and ignore the forums? We've only taken a vote from a (very) small group of FH players.
The next thing I'd like to point out is that wings were announced a long time ago. When this announcement was made, many people were upset because they were told there wouldn't be wings, however now people have been told that it is true, there will be wings! By changing your mind, all of those people will feel betrayed and lied to, even if that was not your intention. Many of us will understand, but many will not and will be angry.
I didn't vote in favor of wings, however I would be very disappointed to not see them after all that has been said and planned and discussed. It'll change FH forever, yes, but I think we're too late to change our minds now. With or without the polls.
Also, would you rather upset 1/3 of those who voted....or 2/3? In the end, majority won for wings. As painful as it sounds to us now, I think in the end when the dust settles FH will be just as glorious as it ever was.
