It's quite simple: It's time for you to move on, then.

Yes, I realize there's a high burnout level for any kind of volunteer work. But if you're dev'ing for the right reasons, you'll always have a drive to dev. There's always something to improve, something new to create. Let's face it, Graal probably just isn't doing it for you anymore. Go to a different project, but don't try to get bribes from servers so you'll still do good work.
If you're joining for free items and bragging rights, you're not joining for the right reasons at all. How about instead you just quit, and go get your in-game items legitimately like all the other players? If you're sitting there actually envying the players doing simple jobs like fishing, flower picking, etc. to get useless virtual cash in a game, then perhaps mindless grinding is more your style of work, rather than a creative field.
