This could even be done with established, trusted players and rewarded with item mall points as opposed to monetary expense for gravity depending on results of their employment and hours they play in-game.
This involves:
-Ability to kick (out of maps / removed from game), ban, etc.
-A pop-up message box that can be sent to players as warnings/communication if needed.
-Invisibility/anonymity for obvious reasons: questioning/bothering/attempting to make relationships for personal benefit/etc.
This would solve many pressing issues which harm playing experience, some listed below with proposed suggestions.
-illegal vending
removed items/zulie, closed vend, kicked from game, etc depending on seriousness of exploit
-zulie spammers
removed items/zulie, kick+ban
-union war leeching/exploiting
leechers would be kicked at reasoned discretion: I heard rumors calanor actually came ingame and did this once, any confirmation on this?
decreased union point count if kicked, war quest timed out/ removed when kicked
--
Just my fantasy on how an mmorpg should function; having very clear and active management/support not only with off-game forums, but also in-game.
Something that would scare exploiters so everyone can play safe and happy.

yea, he did that.. i was on UW that time and he summoned a lot of jelly beans a few times too for fg/rc during that time, as we were all bored bcoz jo/ar ppl got only a few active players.. and we camped them below their spawn..

It will not happen since Gravity doesn't support or probably can support such features for members.
I wouldn't imagine it being that hard to support, seeing as how calanor etc can already do these kind of things in game (administrative features are possible).
Try to offer an alternative or how to expand on suggestions, or how things can be changed to make them work rather than just pessimism.
(I don't know what GM actually stands for, game moderator? general moderator? I'll just call them mods)
My point is if mods were to be consistently active in-game sorting out stuff a lot of problems wouldn't be there.
I understand that they have a lot of stuff to do and can't afford to spend the rest of their spare time in-game so I'm not going to suggest giving existing mods the extra responsibility,
Which is why looking into a recruitment process or promotion/power-up for lower rank mods would make everyone happy (except for exploiters).

woops I sound a little offensive up there, didn't mean it that way xD

(in further text I will call these CGMs)
even with way more limited powers it is still risky
bad things happen
people get hacked, their relatives or friends abuse their accounts etc
(I've already seen situations like that)
the only way to have some control and minimize risk of those new CGM powers abuse is to have them sitting next to you in your office
even that can't be 100% abuse proof
there have been way too many cases of leaked (beta) software from many companies
I have seen so many power abuse by GMs on illegal servers
someone with GM powers can make huge damage in less than a second
(and we all "love" rollbacks)
as for their anonimity:
(example from movie After Hours)
- The fare is $1.50.
- What?
- Fare went up to $1.50 as of midnight.
- You're kidding.
- Look...
- I've got 97 cents.
- No.
- It's raining like mad out there.
- No.
- Would you just give me a break?
I really just wanna go home.
- I'm sorry, I can't do that.
I could lose my job.
- Who would know, exactly?
- I could go to a party, get drunk,
talk to someone. Who knows?
anyway, your idea still sounds interesting
one of older proposals was to give to some players very limited powers
- to give them option to "teleport" spammers to some special empty map (it would be on "8th" planet so scrolls wouldn't work)
even such almost nonabusable skill could still be abused (+ I don't think such "GM" account type exists in current client)

shortened to save space
ohh ok that's really descriptive, I guess that's a worry I didn't consider; I only think of things in the creative or management side rather than a lot of the technical details
but even so every organization faces risk, but with risk there's always opportunities that are just as important, we shouldn't let risk restrict everything, especially when it comes to something as fundamental as human resources, there are always things that we wont be able to do with just automated stuff (which has bugs and other problems anyway). But the risk shouldn't be impossible to deal with, after all how did they recruit current workers?
People from the community that have stood out and would be worth giving a more active role in managing ROSE would be one source, if this source as difficult to trust that's another issue..
But it's clear that you've had a lot of experience in these matters and in throughout ROSE in general so I won't argue too much, your response is really really appreciated yukichan!! http://forums.warppo...tyle_emoticons/default/happy.gif
