The majority of the staff team are PRs. When a PR is on their staff account, the priority is handling reports and uploads. If only one PR is available to be online at a time, they should not leave their duty as a PR unattended to host events, since reports and uploads are time sensitive. Recently, I do think we have been a little short staffed, but there should be some new Trial PRs coming in soon since cally just had a session for Australian/Asian PR applications. I believe Junz also said that he hoped to open applications once he was a little less busy irl. Not to mention what Joey said, some staff just don’t like to host events, partially or fully because of how they get treated by players when they do host.
As for staff being afk: are you certain that they are afk? Some staff members just choose not to respond to things like “hi” or requests like “doll me” and “host noob”. If they’re not responding to players that need actual help, then I really have nothing to say since I don’t speak for them. I am pretty confident that most PRs will answer and provide as much help as possible though.
Here’s what it’s been like for me as a PR recently:
When I log in, there’s maybe one or two PRs on. Someone asks me to host, and I say “Not yet, I just got on and I always do some work before I host.”
Few minutes later, I’m the only PR on since the other(s) had been on for awhile and maybe had to leave to do some other stuff. I get a pm saying “Host now?” And I have to say “Sorry, I cant host when I’m the only PR on”.
Blah blah blah time passes and I do Pr work for awhile.
Another PR gets on. I’ve been on for awhile and at this point, I don’t really feel like doing events since it would add like 30 minutes to my online time or I just don’t have that kind of time at all. So I get off my staff account.
Also, you might want to check out the Administration List, it could be that your time zone or whenever you play just doesn’t have a lot of PRs online
