There's always going to be suspicion of bias in a pvp-oriented environment, because people will always want to turn to some outside influence as the root cause for why things aren't going their way. This is not a bad thing, because sometimes... sometimes they can be right. And while it may look like crying wolf to some of us, you never truly know.
I've always held this Staff team to a high standard. We've always attempted to be transparent, but there is so much that we do behind the scenes that could be influenced by the public or could influence the public in a very negative manner.
For instance, I'm hesitant to move votes to public because of the drama it could incur, and the focus on that drama would pull away from the fun of the game. I'm further hesitant to put my Staff team under a microscope because it would motivate them to not always be forthcoming when I know they otherwise are. Responses, whether intentionally or not, would be crafted with the understanding that they are being judged by the community.
On the other hand, I acknowledge there is a group of people who inherently distrust the Staff team, and I wish to lift the curtains and air this laundry. We were all new to this when we started 3 years ago, we were all just role-players who wanted somewhere... better. Now that I have these years of experience under my belt and a much larger community to manage, I further acknowledge that it is the community that directs me where to go... and my team will follow me.
Vote, or don't.
