Guide/GM/Dev/ect as players question

[Jigga]

This is not an attempt to qq or flame, i am curious what power the staff has who actually play. I am sure there are safe guards put in to not allow easy # leveling and gearing but what about a Dev being able to check on raid on a raid targets spawn time, getting privy to upcoming changes that the rest of the population might not know until patch notes. Most things might be irrelevant but eq at the high end is about competition and having a Dev who can possibly check database for questions about spawn rate, drop rate, spawn timer would give a huge advanatage
