Dr Brain believes that being on staff gives you the right to an advantage, in return for volunteering their time. I believe his words were "it's not fair that you guys need moderating, but you still do." As a long time staffer in another zone I have no problem with these sentiments, given that generally mods receive nothing but grief and stress just for doing thier jobs. The only thing required in return is that mods actually do their jobs. Thus, it is not abuse, it is a compensation for putting up with your average SS player, who is generally stupid, lame, !@#$%^&*holish, and etc. And all this compensation is, is testing a new weapon that will eventually be available to everyone once it is balanced. So what? Would you rather an overpowered weapon be just sent out into public, which generally ends up pissing off everyone who faces against it, and then everyone who has it when its nerfed? End rant.
