I doubt that. By asking everyone else who doesn't know, you will summon people that will definitely qq, flame and cry.

i am curious what power the staff has who actually play. I am sure there are safe guards put in to not allow easy # leveling and gearing but what about a Dev being able to check on raid on a raid targets spawn time, getting privy to upcoming changes that the rest of the population might not know until patch notes.
Everyone should be aware there is a gigantic difference between developers and 'staff'. Developers, aside from Rogean and myself have no in game power, whatsoever. Checking spawn time, nope, that happens on the running live database. Aside from Rogean and myself, no one can see the server's running db. As far as patch notes.. read the bug threads. Look at our name, find all posts.

Most things might be irrelevant but eq at the high end is about competition and having a Dev who can possibly check database for questions about spawn rate, drop rate, spawn timer would give a huge advanatage
qq. Help us fix the game and there won't be a need for developers.
