Also, i found the microphone thing to be extremely retarded. What if i don't like microphones? What if i enjoy listening to my music instead of talking to some douche while i ban people?
I never said that there wouldn't be temptation of power. Like you said, it's always tempting. But it does not mean that every single person is going to abuse it, either. Shockingly enough, there are good people in the game. And maybe, justtttttttt maybe, some of them got selected.
They did say that the microphone issue wasn't a very important factor towards someone getting accepted or declined. But the fact of the matter is, they're looking for people who are at least attempting or trying to be professional about it. Professional over Maplestory? Yeah, I know. It sounds silly, but it's true. Most people now'a'days do have microphones, so it wasn't really an issue. And half or more than the others who did not have them seemed to have been dedicated enough to go remedy the situation.
I can understand them wanting the Brigadiers to have a mic, too. Email can be too slow sometimes (and issues, such as going to spam, not sending correctly, etc.). I'm pretty sure people don't want to get up and phone Nexon Corporation every 20 minutes to report something, and neither does Nexon. Hell no to snail-mail. So that leaves IM and microphones. The general public has microphones. They're small, voice goes through clearly, you can report things as you go along and yatta, yatta, yatta.
