I agree with you to an extent,
some players should not be staff, such as the example you gave as I can imagine it will be true.
The problem today is a decline in standards to becoming staff. The only server I think I have seen that had high standards was Classic, but even that seems to be getting desperate now, especially on the development side of things. I left FAQ because they were allowing new applicants to use walkthroughs as a "guide" to filling their applications in, I don't see the point.
Everyone would love to be staff, but it's not all it's cracked up to be, sure you get some staff boots and have a wizz around for hours, but it soon gets old. I don't understand why people can't just take a step back and just play the game, unless they
truely can bring something to that server, rather then wanting a tag and some tools for an advantage over players.
It's a common thing now seeing staff hiring their friends, who in return don't actually do their jobs, just mess around with their rights and then people become too stared to fire them, which is a joke.

I too used to believe a FAQ team was not needed and I know Galdor will agree with you, but until you see how many new people ask questions to get a replies such as "Press ALT+F4" and "**** noob" you don't realise how much it is needed.
I can imagine everyone could use a walkthrough when answering FAQ questions, but it takes a special kind of person to answer every single question they're swarmed with in a polite and friendly way, regardless of how silly the question is - a perfect example of this is Moonie, the ex FAQ Admin of Classic.
Staff that are not needed are those who don't actually do any work, treat players like they're above them, and those that lack maturity as a whole.
