Huh? I guess it happens, but I'm pretty sure the EMs can attest to their being no shortage of requests issued to them either.

"I can use it for my members" can be used as a justification for trying to get just about any power. Surely members are going to want to play other events as well from time to time. Why not give the power to host all events to kingdom leaders?

In reality, the best solution is to allow players to play any event without an EM if they want to. Back on 2K1 almost all events (survivor being the notable exception) could be played without an Events Team member simply by getting a group together, going to the place of the event, and having half the players there say "start".

So stop being cheap and/or lazy about it. Mana crystals are cheap and it's easy to summon monsters, release them, and then recharge and summon some more a little bit away. If you want to use mana crystals but for some reason don't want to pay for them then get some money from the members to pay for them if they want to fight monsters so much. Do things for yourself instead of relying on special powers.

Which is why I'm saying that summoning should be retooled to allow for their summoning.

Kingdom leaders have powers that pretty much amount to trumped up guild leader powers, which is fitting because kingdoms pretty much amount to trumped up guilds (inevitably someone will reply "BUT KINGDOMS HAVRE RP!!!1" which is true but not really relevant when talking about the position they occupy on the server in this sense.)

As I said before, defining debug access as a true "power" is contentious. At the very least, it's clearly a "power" in a very different category of power than the ability to do things on the main server that a normal player cannot.

And I'm saying it can be done in a fairer way.
