Yikes! Why would the dev team allow an Obyte megawhale join the weekly draw? Hasn't he have enough already? There should have been exclusions added to the weekly draw. I was led to believe that the draw was some form of distribution. Continued distribution of remaining bytes to the largest holders is nuts.

Because that is the main point of the draw airdrop, you hold more bytes on your address and you increase your chances to win.
The draw is still a random lottery, just whales and attested users have more tickets to that draw. There are 2 draws, unattested users get only 0.01 points per GB.
Everybody has a possibility to buy more GBYTE from exchanges and add it to their address to increase their chances in next draw.

Are you saying that we should ban people from draw airdrop who get too much GBYTE on their address? And how are we suppose to do that if they could distribute these bytes to as many addresses they like?

That is why Obyte is giving out more tickets to attested addresses by a wide margin. Spreading out your bytes to several addresses won''t help if the addresses are not attested. And I'm sure having many attested addresses by a single owner in the weekly draw would stick out like a sore thumb.
