Just about all of them... the staff team of late has been huge in comparison. There used to be a few admins and small team of devs. The same core staff over the past 3-4 years has been probably 20+ people. There's people who simply login once every few months and get a RC multiple times for no reason at all (Exolia, Reese, Fewyn, Zach, etc.)

Then you throw in that ETA gets RC now, and they split GBA into 3 seperate ****ing positions when the whole thing together wasn't enough work for me and I had to be PRA too while handling half of the ETA duties (actually lol'd when I saw them get separated). There's individual admins for LAT, Gani, GFX... they even hired sound guys again to do :themes. Honestly, all this work can be outsourced or done by one guy. The PR team used to be tight knit with maybe 4 active people there for years per term.. now they hire 8 new dudes every other month.

Hell they gave Nas a job, Amber is PSA, and they summoned me and told me to go on RC like a week ago.. no one has asked/assigned me to do anything yet.

Awhile back MD would hire anyone who gave him 5 bucks (literally).. and Fidel had free reign to be a dictator because the PWA are MIA.

3 years ago, GC got fired within 12 hours for trying to actually build a decent team... Chris Vimes ran the server with legitimately 4 RC'd staff members (it looked like GK) and there was a average player count >125 still.

So naw.. I've never seen the team bigger or more free-run than in the most recent administrations; which ironically boast the lowest player-counts.

Let's be realistic here, I wouldn't expect a Graal# to have played with me prior to 2008 anyway.
Couldn't agree more with the post, although everyone has their style of management, we are still yet to see the full extent to Amsels. I think he is just trying to assign everyone with a job and people to go to, with past management every had a job and went to the manager who did nothing, whilst Amsel has been working on several projects for not only Era.

The sad part is; almost everyone can maintain the current positions, a simple kid with 200 hours could take over Gang Admin or Business Admin, simply put because they're not doing anything with the position but maintaining the current structure.

I mean my word might not be viable to some but lets face it, a lot of the Player Related side of the team is in a twist of chaos, yelling for help.

Hopefully we can see some kind of change soon, the repetitiveness of this game is getting to everyones head.
