I have proof of sully threatening someone on account of his character almost dying... GMS cheat.. we all know that.. cheat to help out buddys and players.. heck they even get an advantage of where things are .. the goodies.. etc.. they have far more advantage then the regular players.. they even change the rules like now:: U must have a tower or keep or what not to macro with friends... this is not due to an increase in the player base.. this is due to gms being ganked by people who work hard for their damn skills.. and want to make it more difficult for the average player. I totall disagree with gms having player accounts.. they ruin the game.. they have far more advantage over us.. and that sucks... and when I say it sucks.. IT REALLY SUCKS!:bomb: :bomb: :mad: :mad: :bomb:

AND BECAUSE OF THIS I GUARANTEE THE RULES WILL ALWAYS CHANGE. etc..

right basically, screw you, you ungrateful ******

u have the cheek to assume the wrong thing and then slander the staff who work damn hard for the shard

and i really do not appreciate your implications about cheating, when i was a councillor, i bought a horse with my player's money ffs
naturally, you learn more about how the game works by being staff, because you have to. and then when u log into ur mortal, you still know these things. thats about the limit of 'cheating' from us, why arent u attacking the hackers / bug abusers / speed hackers?

if all the staff had to choose GM or mortal, i think about half of them would go mortal, and the other half would have less incentive to make the shard good. do u want to half the staff? do u want the remaining staff to be less motivated? do u want ur pages to take 2x as long to answer? etc etc etc.

being staff, running events, answering pages is on the whole, very boring. i do it because i want the shard i play on to be better, if i didnt play here there is no way in hell i'd sit and be patient with some noob who cant work out how to make arrows or some crap like that

also, because the staff actually play here, we know more about what needs fixed, what needs balanced, etc.
look what happened to mpz/burstfire when the staff arent in touch with actually playing the game, u get scripts that are really unpopular, but stay in place, cos the staff liked the idea, and dont have to put up with the implementation

the macroing in houses thing was introduced because of the amount of people who spar each other afk, with another person healing. this was deemed bad for the game, as its too easy to gm the skills that way.
it was not because of increasing player base, we never said that.
we toyed with various rules, and tower / keep / castle only was deemed to be the best solution and easiest to enforce.
thats the end of it, shut up.

this affected me, it meant my mate had to move out of my 1 roomer i let him macro in (macro seperatly, not on each other)

finally ur point about u worked hard for ur skills, so do we damnit, i have about 750 hours on my mortal account
