Wow this thread filled up fast from last night! Time to respond to some comments.
Haha Isaac.
Yea, I think a lot of definitely don't necessarily agree with their program. After all, who can do the job of a GM better than paid, trained Nexon GMs? All it would really take them is hiring extra staff to service those spots...but remember, this is Nexon we're talking about. They do everything possible to make money AND save money, and what better way to accomplish this than by allowing eager teenagers and college students do their work (partially) for them? Now I'm not saying that it's a BAD thing to be looking for measures to keep your staff and save money, but since these maneuvers have been utilized within the past few years, I'm think it's safe to assume the recession was not the first worry on their minds when creating this program.
Regarding Paul's post much earlier, this is definitely why people are reacting the way they are. At least it goes to show you half the people who post on SP have the common sense to be cautious. Throw in Felix's swine flu example, and the metaphor is complete: Nexon is unpredictably bipolar, and those aware of the fact have ample reason to be uneasy.

Hell, I'm not even sure I would be able to resist the temptation to abuse it. I just don't trust most people with it really.
