At the same time if I throw an open party and decide I want to piss in everyone's Cheerios, well, that's my prerogative and you are all welcome to leave ^^

I would t do that of course and the analogy does t really apply here seeing as my experience with staff has been overwhelmingly positive. My point is, staff doesn't owe anyone anything. If you are unhappy you can always leave... or bitch about it.

I don't know OP or whether or not he was being a dick in BB, but the whole "we're volunteers" as a blanket excuse for shitty customer service has literally been an issue on this server for years. Back when Rogean was running the show he actually provided quality customer service and only broke out the metaphorical stick when the carrot didn't work. It seems a lot of staff since then have cared more about asserting their control than actually resolving disputes and making the server a better place. I'm not trying to staff bash, but the zero tolerance policy for questioning staff decisions has resulted in zero accountability and overall worse support from the staff.

If you're going to constantly bitch about being a volunteer, maybe you should quit volunteering. The server could honestly do with less nannying from GMs imo. The way the staff have inserted themselves into the raid scene with all this running for FTE and a rule set that rivals the US IRS codes has made the jokes about EQ lawyers more true than they should be, and reduced the fun or raiding overall imo.

You're getting this worked up over a free, private nostalgia server for a game from 1999 where you farm goblins helmets for your elf.
