Why is that though? It seems strange to me that the guilds Bryan mentioned exist as half staff, half regular players. You don't think there's a certain bias given towards the players in these guilds?

Typically when you get hired you start talking to the other admins and become friends, and then eventually you just start getting recruited to their guilds.

Why don't you guys actively seek out players who have a grasp of specialty areas (like spars and towers) and have them police there? I'm sure towerers would be much more comfortable having someone like an Areo or Kosiris (purely examples) determing if what they're doing is against the rules compared to someone like Electron or Iron (no offense to them). The same goes for sparring. Fulgore was actually hired for the purpose but had to resign because he lost access to his laptop. You think it would bring bias, but I think it would bring experience and actual changes to those areas that are often affected by cheating. It's natural, because those players actually care about the areas of the game they're policing.

I think this would be helpful, but I think the main reason there aren't GPs "dedicated" to patrolling a certain aspect of gameplay is because it would just be such a restricting position and, frankly, they would probably get bored quickly. The number of reports for inappropriate language/behavior, bad statuses/names, and harassment via PMs outnumbers hacking/speeding reports 5:1, in my opinion. In addition to that, many reports for hacking/cheating/speeding/etc. end up being false. So if there were people who, for example, would focus on reports that had to deal with sparring, then they would probably make two-three bans an hour max, when they could checking other reports. While it's a good idea, IMO it would be unproductive and the person would probably get bored very quickly, and it's better to just hire a person as a GP so they could patrol everything in Graal.
