I remember when I was ET Chief on n-pulse, I tried to get a good events team together... and no matter how hard I tried, I lost all my staff to either firing (cuz they couldn't handle the little responcibility an events person has) or to another staff rank. A lot went to FAQ (since some view FAQ as the gateway to a GP job) or they went right to GP (and GP is generally the gateway to an admin job, and so-on).
This was because no-one value's the events team... they get treated as "psuedo-staff" and insulted... so they move on to a different job, or just leave.
anyways, I know that I will treat every member of my staff with respect, and every one of them will be thought of as a full staff member. This would also mean high requirments for FAQ and ET possitions. I hope to change the way people view events team members in particular... since (thanks to CriminalX) we will have a lot of cool events ^_^

They
are psuedo-staff and nothing more. No one can ever change that just because they get an all-mighty RC.
FAQ is useless if you know how to properly supply players with information in the game. Its the player's responsibility to read and learn what is provided. To me, FAQ is like a parent holding a child's hand and guiding them through everything (in Graal). If players are not going to uphold their responsibility to read what I provide then I have no incentive to make an FAQ person available.
For things like ET and GP, I will provide neither. Because Doragon is an RP server, the different kingdoms will have to police their land as they see fit or hold events. They will have some tools for doing the actions of either. Myself and any other staff I will have will not be meant for direct interaction with players except on the scale of major problems like someone "hacking" where an actual RC is needed.
Players need to learn how to handle their own affairs particularly the ones they get themselves into by their own choices. If a player was being harassed without provokation then I would most likely step in depending upon the severity of the situation and what I may already know about those involved.
