Psh, bureaucracy has always been a part of Graal. It's inescapable.

Say you wanna script a quest. Well, if you want it online, you gotta join the LAT. But as a LAT member, all you can do is MAKE the quest, to UPLOAD or APPROVE or PLACE it, you gotta be the LAT Admin. So you work your way up to LAT Admin. But LAT Admins gotta handle Hiring, and Firing, and Corruption, and Coordinate with the other Admins, and fight for Stefan's attention, and take player submissions...and really, it's the Server Manager who decides what should go where, so you gotta work your way up further...

Here's the problem; the most talented, tenacious and dedicated workers are rewarded by being pulled into a desk job where they can't use their skills. They get bogged down with secretarial responsibilities. And the alternative is let someone Else be in charge of Them who Doesn't know how, say, the movement system works.

No escaping bureaucracy.

('course, if it was up to me there'd be an executive wing that handles hirings, firings, etc., and Accepts That It Doesn't Have Any Business Meddling With Levels - and a Dev wing that did all the actual worldbuilding...)
