Other GCs might think differently; other GCs might agree with me. Regardless, I'm not going to try to force events just to try and raise the playercount. I personally don't find them fun to play nor watch, and so I don't host them.

it's an excuse for LOW, but the difference between low and completely inexistant is a HUGE difference. and it's not always about gaining players by hosting events. it's about entertaining the current players.

Thus you don't need a GP online 24/7 b/c, as far as I know, they wouldn't be doing much all day but glaring at people who swear.

Obviously noobs are needed because they (hopefully) eventually grow into solid new players, but let's be honest here: FAQ is the least important of the staff positions. Now I can already picture you going off on that statement, saying how uninformed I am about your job and the role you play in the server. That's all fine and dandy. But let's be realistic. FAQs are needed when new content is released and people (noobs and current players alike) need help; FAQs aren't needed as much when the playercount is at 15.

who do you think i am? i'm more insulted that you'd think that i think so highly of myself than anything else. i know FAQ is the least important staff division. but the keyword that you said is "faqs aren't needed AS MUCH". they're still needed tho, just like all divisions.
