4. Why is community opinion based on rank and the amount of hours one person logs a week? For those who are uninformed, there is a huge classiest type system in the staff ranks where lesser ranked staff are treated like they don't matter. Just because someone spends 40+ hours a week being mad and burnt out on this game doesn't mean they know better than someone who plays for years small amounts at a time.

Usually, I'm not one to comment on stuff like this but this is one I feel very much.  I have experienced it a lot with people not listening to my position just because I'm trusted, even though I may have more experience built up over time dealing with issues or situations.  Just because someone does not want to move up ranks for some reason does not mean that they should have their opinion regarded.  It is true that you need more experience to become tmod than trusted, mod than trusted, etc., but it does not extrapolate to the reverse.  Being a trusted does not instantly mean you would have less experience than a tmod or in some cases even a mod.  I had to think a lot before airing my thoughts on this, but at this point, I feel like I have brought it up enough internally and nothing has been done, so hopefully at this point with it now being in an open forum it can finally get some attention.
