We'd hammer away at the incoming petitions, earmarking the GM-only issues for the one or two times a day a GM would actually log into your assigned server.
And when that GM wanted to run an event? Well fuck me now those tickets are going to sit their even longer, because the GM wants to fuck around in Plane of Air (which I'll get banned for porting into) or turn the guides into giants so we can walk around WC till a power guild converges on us and kills us for the retardedly stupid loot we have. Then the GM vanishes again, having checked off the box next to our server event, and we sit around wondering when this growing pile of GM tickets will ever get looked at.
In exchange my EQ subscription was comped. Most guides were gone within three months, quickly realizing what a shit show it was.
That's your "highly skilled actors".
You had to work tickets for 6 hours a week to be a guide. For a $12 monthly sub. $0.50 an hour man.
