Sorry, but none of that is really rewarding. Dragging players is a tool, you don't just go around dragging players for the lol. In fact, most of all of that is just a tool to get the job done, the novelty wears off very quickly. Also remember that none of these are typically accessible to the staffs player account... so it's kind of non-beneficial. Staff can warp, but they have nothing to warp to unless they need to for job-related reasons. Staff can be popular, but it's not like they're allowed to walk around unstealthed and absorb all fame. Not to mention staff get way more **** from players than praise anyways.

Your perspective on the matter is a player who would love to be an admin, and you imagine it's some amazing experience and you've put it up on the pedestal but in reality it's more work than fun.

Staff do get paid in gralats though and many of the staff are active players, so that is beneficial to them.

Oh... and Graal is a creative outlet. This is actually a very important factor here... many people may not have the time, or confidence to pursue a freelance/job position for their art. It's tough out there. Creating a game from scratch is also unlikely... so a lot of artists have nothing to do with their art. They can pixel, and put it in a gallery... but it has no use. Graal provides them with a way to give their art some purpose and exposure. That's worth more than I think a lot of people give it credit for. It's why I've stuck around as long as I have, at least.
