I worked hard as a PWA for one and a half years.

It wouldn't be if I had been given debug. I told you that already.

If you needed something done that you couldn't do due to lack of rights or lack of being able to post on the forums or lack of being able to contact someone, then you should've spoken to the rest of your team about it. You really dont seem like a "team player", and from what you've said, you just joined the team to get special priviledges and rights, which I find sad.
You've never worked with me. Why don't you ask some of the other team members before you make stupid, blind statements?

Congratulations, and most of us oldbies have worked hard for over 4 years. So, what will you tell me, that we havn't worked for Graal Online? Well, if you think about it, we very much have. If it wern't for the servers that the players made, then Graal Online would not be very successful. Do we have the "title" of working with Graal Online? No, we don't, but each and every developer does work for the company in some way or another.

There should be other means of contacting Stefan then just debug. Either way, it's still a problem.

What's your job? PWA. I don't need to work with/for you to have to know how you work. Your job is with the players, not with your teammates. You should be showing the players how well you are, not your own teammates. If most graalians are clueless as to who you are or let alone what you have done to contribute to the game, well, then that's a major problem. If you can't show me how well you can do your job, then I guess that means you are not very good at it.

If only I knew what work this was. I've seen about one or two reviews from you. I don't think you've worked enough to go rambling that you've been in the team for nearly two years, because you've contributed enough work to bloat for only a good month or two.

Boo-goddamn-hoo. There are people who worked harder than you for longer and got less. You don't see them making a big stink about it and whining and crying.

So do you not have a real paying job or something? Because you should get used to this really soon.

You knew that you were volunteering when you signed up, right? So what's the big surprise? Doesn't make much sense to me.

Heck, I've worked harder then he has, and I don't expect anything in return. I've been doing "PWA" work most of my time on Graal, but I don't do it to get something in return, I do it for the players. It seems VT just wants special priviledges, which is why he joined the team.

Yea, FAQ positions are really tough. Try managing two servers, and financing a third. At the same time, where the financed one has yet to be fixed, even though I lodged a complaint the day I purchased it, over a month ago

Haha. Us oldbies?
How about this:
Picture yourself a global admin. People message you all the time. You give out your only personal instant messenger screen name so that you can address issues ASAP. You are pretty much on-duty every second you're on the computer. That's me.
It takes a great deal of patience to listen to some of these people and solve their problems, especially when they can be so silly.

Okay, so now you're agreeing?

Uh, you said I wasn't a team player. If you want to know the extent of my teamliness, ask my team mates. Otherwise, shut up.

You don't see what happens behind closed doors and you make these assumptions. You're pathetic. Go outside, the short bus is waiting.

Got less? Who? Give names instead of ideas.

If I wanted a real paying job, why should I get used to not getting payed? I don't want money, I simply want to be given the tools necessary for work so that I don't have to pay to work.

What does my work on Zone have ANYTHING to do with PWA work? Please, just shut up. I'm tired of you going about disrespecting me in every thread, and you running your mouth knowing NOTHING of what I'm talking about. I'm talking about all the guides and reviews I've written and posted.

It's fine to volunteer. However, how many volunteers actually pay to volunteer? They pay in time, not money.

Yea, but you knew you were going to pay when you volunteered, right? I mean Stefan didn't give away gold to every volunteer, it wasn't a surprise to you when you didn't get free gold right?

Besides, if you did get free gold for being staff every Tom, ****, and Joe would want to be a staffer!

How does anything you do have anything to do with PWA work? You apparently don't even know what it encompasses.

It must piss you off that you haven't gotten smack for them. Oh wait, you got a nice position on Zone doing nothing. Free power/publicity!

It didn't surprise me at first, no. But more and more people are getting "global staff accounts", meaning they get free access. I think that should be extended to me as well.

Most of them do want to be staffers, simply because they get recognition and power.
