Graal lives off the basis that everyone can develop because a lot of its player base is mainly developing and buying servers in which they believe will succeed(and never do). Surely graal would take a huge hit in the bank account if everyone couldn't develop, because they certainly cant survive off gameplay.

Most GPs these days are basically those without talent who wish to have power. They have no productive skills so it seems like the sure fast way to having that edge over their follow players. When hired and working though, many find that this is not the case and the bad are washed away whilst the good remain.

However, if the bad stay in power, it's solely a management issue :P
Worse of all when these GPs stay for a long period of time they end up with more power as they make their way up to the Admin and Manager positions just because theyve held a job for so long and some people on the server like them. Just because someone likes you doesnt ever qualify for such positions in my opinion. You need to have some sort of skills. Im sure I could point out a few servers that have done this.

Graal could have fixed its self though I believe. They survive solely off player development and and then 1 development "team" which consist of pretty much Stefan. Now if graal could form a paid development team of some sort of people who were qualified for the job they might be able to form a more well rounded server. Bringing in more profit eventually and then being able to increase the size of their development team even more, thus increasing the chance of creating more good servers/games. Graal could them come out of this stage if which it completely depends on players which at the same time continuing player development on the Classic list/ and UC list. But I think theyve already dug to deep in their pockets and are unable to get enough change to do this.
