Listen you ******ed jealous creature, you.

Unfair: Items which can be acquired through normal means, but is acquired through staff rights, and then given away to normal players.

Fair: Staff made items whom have free reign to distribute it however they want as long as there is no way to acquire it other than himself/herself.

Fair: Staff has acquired the item AS A NORMAL player, but decides of his own free will to give it away

By the way, Staff don't just get "any" item they want. Through accomplishing assignments, they are rewarded by items granted/at the discretion of snk. I've met many staff members who didn't have ****. There is constant checking of abuse upon each other within the circle of staff. Therefore I doubt that the only option that makes it unfair, is actually happening.

One day you'll grow up and realize the world is full of possibilities that go beyond your petty imagination.

There is nothing wrong with that unless it affects the gameplay of the community together positively or negatively. Any unfair alteration through the use of staff influenced actions can be considered abuse. In no way shape or form do I see this as "abuse" except for butthurt little kids like you and the douche I addressed earlier in this post for being jealous about it.

So you don't care about it being unfair?
-I'm out.
You must be an idiot to tell us that they can give items trough their idevice (we obviously did not mean this). But now getting rewarded with items for their works, and then they can give that to friends, whatever.....
Bull****

hearts offered one of my members an EC to join sk lol

&& only people who are friends with admins (& probably got a free item) will agree thats it fair for admins to give un-obtainable items to their friends for free.

just read that statement. over & over, there is no argument.

Now you are telling me who I care about? I understand your point perfectly, in case you missed it I was personally attacked in this thread which I why I respond. I can see both sides and if this was more than .0001% of items and they were really giving someone an unfair advantage I would agree with you. The last thing I enjoy are confrontations of this sort, peace and harmony are more my preferred gig. I keep foolishly waiting for the day that people can share their views here without getting personally attacked and slandered by incorrect theories and perceptions. Agree to disagree, but don't personally attack my character and integrity as a human being, please.

Thanks. ^

Let me try this again slowly....

Tell me why this is unfair again?

Like Flamecrow's Wings for example. The ONLY way to acquire this should be through only Flamecrow. If there is no other "easier" method, then thus this is FAIR for everyone. The reason it is fair, is because EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE TO BE FLAMECROWS FRIEND. You think that road is closed off? Learn to think out of the box please.

Just because you got personal issues and lack the confidence or the strive to be friends with a normal human being like Flamecrow, but are too intimidated "BECUZ HE ADIAM", then good for you. You don't deserve getting that item from him.

I'm trying really hard to simplify this for you slow people.

You are one of 100 examples we could state.
900 players that try to win events, fight to get their stuff. And 100 who are friends with staff, get some rare hammers or some other ****.
Read. And then read again. And then realize this is unfair. Seriously how can you even try to demonstrate the opposite. Its ******ed, how explicit this is.
Staff give items to friends that did not do anything specials.
Im good with staff being rewarded. But. Why give it to friends, that ruins the point of fighting to accquire something.
If you guys get free **** from staff, then I'm not going to do anything, work to get something.

tell me how this IS fair, that as long as you are friends with an admin, you can possibly get an un-obtainable item that is impossible for other players to get.

lol its comical!

Staff rewarded (personally) -> gives RARE item to friends (obviously it has to be rare) // the other side : 900 players fight in an event to get an item, people waste their $$$ on auctions.
Ok?

Read that post again. I edited it. ******s

Hell yeah :blush:

no, still not fair. no argument. shouldnt have to be "friends" with an administrator to be entitled to receive an otherwise un-obtainable item.

the revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. you have to make it fall.

REVOLT BROTHER!

No argument? You must be stupidly closed minded.

Being "friends" with an administrator can be considered an attainable route that ANYONE can do.

It's your own fault your so intimidated by it and instead cry that other people can do it besides you.

Staff works hard to satisfy players; they're getting those give-away items because they're doing a good job. Homeless Witch for example decided to auction "her" item- it's a choice.
Theres not really such a thing as "favoritism" involved, they're just friends who get the items, and just because they're staff that shouldn't really matter. I bet each and everyone of you like a certain player more than another.

I don't know about other staff but for my birthday I made the Wings, and snk let me have 5 of them to give to whoever I wanted (I decided to give them away instead of doing events). Same thing for Homeless' wand, originally she only had 5 to give away but decided later to auction them to give a chance for others to have.

And this doesn't make a point but I gave ReCurveZ a wing and I don't really know him or are friends with him

Regarding the fairness, yes it seems unfair for staff to give items to players but I think it's fine as long they are limited to how many they can give and as long as they received them from snk as a reward for working or in my case, as a birthday gift.
