For The Staff

soo i have been in torn for 16 years or so..... its a long all time.

players and staff have come and gone, theres few of the old school left now.

but it occurred to me in a relative quiet spot of the global shitshow....   

staff havent had a payrise... like forever

so staff get a dp (non-tradable) and thats it.... so why not give them a 'payrise'?   

in torn terms why not a random book? same rules as all of us just with a slightly enhanced rate of drop?

###  bare in mind, this is a SUGGESTION and NOT an invitation to turn it into a shitshow ###

alternative ideas welcome

The trouble I think with this is that it would then invite players to attempt to become staff in order to progress faster. In this case, it'd be to get all the books faster, which is no small deal. I fully am in favour of giving staff a raise, considering the Torn playerbase and rules have been increasing quite a bit. Now, having not been a staff member at all, I have no idea what the actual workload of a staff member is on a daily basis. It could very well be the case that a single untradable dp a month is ample compensation, but from what limited staff activity that I actually see, I think it's absolutely a good idea to give em a little payraise.

In lieu of a book outright or increased book chance, things to consider:

Monthly staff special item drops (akin to subscriber drops)

A limited amount of Bunker bucks

Points/special refills

Staff properties? ie properties that are only accessible to staff and have, say, a bigger vault and are fully staffed lol

Obviously, not all of those are balanced the same, but they'd be small(er) things that offer a little extra boost to staff and make their lives just a little better.

Bruh. Go touch some grass, do some runnings and get the negative thoughts out of your system. 

It's not like anyone can become staff to progress faster lol. You need to get chosen. And before we go off-topic, Torn Staff works very hard in their jobs and deserves to be paid more, with the inflation and all. Random book, more DPs, they deserve it! 

Fully agree that staff should get paid more, no argument there. But if one of the benefits is a free book or an increased chance to find a book, I just know there will be people out there who at least try to become staff with the express purpose of getting all the books faster. I'm sure there have been staff members in the past who became staff for the wrong reasons, I have no doubt there will be more in the future. Just trying to find other ways of compensating the staff without incentivising becoming staff purely for the sake of game progression

you may not know but once you reach a certain level in staff you may be given your own game item, this is a major game milestone as it will always be in the game.
