That's an intrinsic award. Most people desire extrinsic rewards. The overall graal playerbase is lower in count, so competition is lower. Not many people care about beating others these days since it's pretty meaningless to brag to an abysmal playercount. (If you don't believe me, feel free to study the theory of motivation.) However, for events such as CTF, it really isn't the case. The only times where I see people that just want to win events for bragging rights are the major spar tournies such as single belts or the monthly (although they provide an extrinsic reward themselves as well).

Night quit and I believe either Gladius or Clel (maybe both)would take his spot when the time comes that a GC admin is needed. I don't see Clel on graal much these days though.

Also Gladius, what we are talking about is very much on topic with GC improvement.
