Not exactly true John, many PRs have been chosen not because they were the best candidate, but because they have connections. Let's hope every new PR this time actually deserves their spot. Best of luck to all of you. By the way I am not hating on current PRs i am just stating past experiences.

The amount of negativity! GOSH!

So! Personal opinion time! My thoughts! Not reflection of all staff of Classic! Take note that I do not hire people! I only say this because I know some particular broken records will use this (after they severely mutilate it and misquote) as justification for their twisted purposes!

SO! I have Graalian friends. A large chunk of them I would never recommend to become staff. However I've come to know a few very well. If a position came up that I think they were suitable for and i was in a position to recruit, I would likely recommend and why not? It's much easier to assess someones capabilities when you've known them for a long time rather than reading an email with 10 filled out answers. Should I just say, "Sorry Person-X! I already know you are perfect for this role but since I *do* know you are perfect for this role, I cannot hire you."

The way I see it, it makes sense that if staff happen to know someone who they think are suited for the role, they will be added. If they are unable to use this method, they can fall back on other recruitment methods. Note that one particular recruitment method involves going through literally thousands of applications!

Finally, if you aren't capable of being our friend, why would we want you in our family?
