I don't really like the job itself, though i'll do it. It's not really that interesting and it's pretty mundane, only upside is some of the people you find, occasionally a rare gem amongst the coal.
So, because I choose to be an Admin, I can't be allowed to play the game in the time i'm not being an Admin? Seems bad, how else are you going to fully understand the game and see it exactly from the players point of view?
It isn't exactly slave labour; what is expected of us and what is given in return however, could be considered "slavery". For the amount we actually deal with, we should get paid. Gamemasters that get paid probably put up with less than we do.
Nope, not really - Admins owning an active gang on their STAFF account, bad idea - I agree. Player account however, they should be free to do that to an extent, if it comes to a point where they start overlapping, this is when something should happen. Not before. End of the day, not all of us are incapable of differing the two. Thus no need to penalize all of us.
(Your last comment was false, people wanting the tools isn't why you started a thread about admins owning gangs  ) |
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.

His point being that although it doesn't seem that way, being staff on Era does get mundane without actually playing the game. Staff have just as much of a right to own a gang and do everything a regular player can. Imagine getting hired and not being allowed to play the game, but instead, have to deal with player complaints and management. Fun, init?

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?
