Owning a gang is not the problem, using your admin powers, title, influence to compete against normal players, that's the problem, and the whole argument. Whether or not the "admin" account owns the gang, or your "player" account owns the gang, it makes no difference , your still an admin.

If your not running a competitive gang then fine. Sorry there is no argument, admins shouldn't be allowed to compete against normal players. Too much of an advantage a admin has and can use against normal players, And yes I did make this thread because I believe there is too much potential for abuse because of the tools an admin has against normal players. (Whether or not you believe they will use it or not, they can and IT DOES HAPPEN, it has happened with multiple times with multiple admins, so there is a problem there, believe it or not)

If you NEED to own a gang, own a social gang and let normal players compete against each other.

Why this so hard to understand? Then again, you are an admin so you are bias to what you think you should be allowed to do.


You're entire thread (title specifically states) is about Admins owning gangs, so I honestly don't see how you can sit there and say owning a gang isn't a problem? Using title and influence means crap, players with high status in Iera (Such as the old leader of Ebizou back when she played) She used her status to gain new members to her gang.

Basically, regardless of whether or not they are on there Admin account, as long as they own a competitive gang, you believe they shouldn't be allowed to do so? Purely because there is potential for abuse? Ahah.. no, no.. you don't stop something like that just because there is potential for abuse, it is easier just to fire the people who abuse rather than ruin a staff members enjoyment of leading a gang or being apart of an active gang. Problem isn't with all Admins, so it's not even worth it. (Though this thread is useless because it'll never happen)

I'm an Admin so I'm biased? Oh sure totally, I don't even have a gang, nor do I EVER join any gangs for that matter, so my opinion is still biased just because i'm an Admin? I think you just don't have any good argument and resort to saying OH NO HES AN ADMIN SO HIS OPINION IS A LIE! Sorry, we're not all sheep following the flock.

I think I made a valid argument and alot agreed,(even if the poll is in favor of yes, Like I said, remove the "admins" votes, this poll is alot closer and more accurate) whether or not YOU think it's a good one.

I did change my opinion somwhat if some rules where in place to enforce what you can and cant do with your admin account, while being on your normal account at same time, i admitted this, but you dont wany ANYTHING to change, and couldn't give me a good reason as to why you should be allowed to be on both accounts at same time.

I would have rather had this debate with just normal players without any admins particpation , because yes, your bias to what you think you should be able to do as an admin,well, because your an admin. most admins are, not just you, it's human nature.

it's like asking the employees at a job if they think their wages should be cut, lol

No need to Insult my thread as "useless", because you don't like my opinion. I didnt think a thread on graalians would change anything. Its just a debate, But it does have almost 2000 views and over 120 responses. :)

You admins really need to start acting like admins. I see alot of you get very flustered and offended, even insult us, when people say things you don't like or agree with, not very admin like.

Remember why you have a job, to serve the normal players, to create and develop, for the normal players, to help the normal players, to listen to the normal players. Not to belittle us when you don't like our opinions, have an advantage against us, or compete against us when you choose. (Whether or not YOU yourself owns a gang or competes against us.' It's not about YOU)

And happy bday.

Again, we need to be more just with the idea. You guys are thinking that us not owning a gang would make stuff 'equal'...

You'd be surprised with what we deal with daily...

In my opinion a staff member should be able to own a gang. They should not be able to own a basing gang and base on their staff account with un-released items or anything that gives them advantages against the normal player.

Pretty sure I gave enough valid reasons for being on both accounts at the same time;
  • Testing things on Iphone device while needing access to Staff account
  • multitask and deal with things on their staff account while also being active to their friends on their iphone device.

Although only two reasons for now, as long as the staff are not doing things for their character while on both devices, I see no issue with allowing it, if they are, it's abuse, they will be fired, simples. No need to restrict it outright, else we'll just thrown you some glitchy crap because we havn't tested it :)

If you wanted our opinions excluded so you could have a 100% bias thread (looking at your previous comments.. i'm sure you were trying to start a revolt?) then you should of said so in the first place, no point having a debate or anything without hearing both sides of the story. It's like having a rape victim in court and only listening to the rapists side of the story.

Wasn't really insulting your thread; in terms of anything actually changing from it, it is pretty useless, in regards to a debate, not quite as useless. Didn't call it useless because I don't like your opinion however, was merely stating a fact. Though the only person I see with any strong opinion in regards to this on here is you.

Some people have short fuses, just the way it goes really..though shouldn't really be in a PR position if they can't handle the pressure :p

If I remember right, didn't you say working on Era Iphone isn't a job?
So are you now contradicting yourself?
We don't have to listen :o We do so optionally.
There are rules in place from awhile ago about using unreleased stuff in bases, so shouldn't really be any advantage, and since we were discussing having a gang on their Iphone account more so, this is even more mute of a point. As I say, you figure we all abuse for our Ipods lol, rather than it just being a few people.

Don't be an admin then, you act like you are all forced to be admins, I've seen so many comments about how much it sucks to be an admin, why are you an admin then? you don't get paid, you don't like the job, you all complain, and wanna argue why you should be allowed to still play the game as a normal player ... Lol wtf?
