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.

Maybe thats the ideal way you guys want staff, but I have been playing Classic for a long ass time and I remember SO many instances where staff are
- walking around unstealthed, having a group follow them
- dragging their friends around, or players in general (think 1k guild celebrations, nexus parties, ect)
- broadcasting stuff for their friends and guilds (EXA: Voyage is at swamptown guild spar and they need some guilds to fight them ! Do you think you can beat them!?)
and, do not even get me started on the cheap-ass admin guilds in the past that were successful just because an admin was the leader. I was in Cruxis as a new player, and I helped a long way from 1k to 2k. Trigger would NEVER help. He was never online, and if he was he was usually doing something else. The kiss ups (no offense guys) would do all his work and he rewarded some as they ended up very soon after becoming admins themselves. Then they made admin guilds, and they got to 1k too. (Brotherhood of ninjas, Advent V, cxe partially, hyrule knights partially, ximtra partially, ect)
Dusty just because the staff tools maybe wore out on you rather fast, know that MANY other staff have used them to greatly benefit themselves. I understand you are a helpful developer and you are very trustworthy, but you are just one staff member in a long history of many more, and they did/do not share your ideals
