My sentiments exactly. While the applications may provide us with players that we may not of already noticed the fact remains that the primary job of the Playerworld Administration is to provide support to players that have issues regarding things that happen to them on servers that they feel the local staff did not handle correctly. We are the judges of those actions.
The people that stand out are those that are usually at the forefront in handling player problems on servers on a daily basis. We deal with them constantly and the proof is in their actions. No application can show us how they handle graal life situations.
I am highly skeptical at using the judgement of the forum users or server players as a basis for judging a PWA as its well known that usually only those that didn't get the result they wanted during an investigation are the ones that speak the loudest.
My hopes are that once Xor has become more familiar with his new surroundings that the addition of another member will help us to have better coverage of all servers. Right now we're spread pretty thin so its difficult for us to address all the problems that the players would like to see us improve upon. I would like to see the addition of 1 or 2 more actually even though its not needed on support itself.
