1. They need to be trained by current GE staff who already have their hands full and -
2. We certainly don't have time to teach them Xanascript which will be useless after the conversions anyway. And
3. has already been mentioned, even if we do find someone they have to pass our security checks or we have a bigger risk of them breaking the game- again.
1. yes agree about that, but this is to be thought of in the future.
2. Obviously !
3. i agree, but GE's don't need so many power for a possible break the game.......
Just to note, GE's normally have different powers depending on their speciality.
All the powers I have as Artist are basically to allow me to any map to test out things, and to grant NPC's battle sprites. Not really that much as a vast majority of my testing comes from just replacing sprites over existing ones which I did before being staff. People probably noticed that Meowth was a Vanillish a few updates ago, cos I was testing new things and forgot to change it back.
Composers have very similar powers as Artists.
Mappers are next in line and have ability to directly upload maps to the server, and also create spawns.
Scripters have all the above powers, but also have the ability to input NPC's into the game, which can grant the following privileges.
- Spawn Pokemon. And if it's Shiny.
- Spawn Money, and also take money away.
- Spawn Event vouchers
- Spawn Items. Such as unreleased TM's
- Auto complete quests by changing variables outside the quest NPC's
- Create NPC's that will teleport anyone anywhere. Hello Rollercoaster of unending Doom.
All those abilities come from a single Staff command for Scripters, which is the entire reason they're hired. In the past it has been abused, but there is no possible way of nerfing that command as it the entire basis for Scripters existing. I guarantee Tasigur has broken the test server numerous times while trying to get things to work. Monster mrr >>
