What makes developers eligible to recieve a reward, but yet admins and other parts of the staff not to? What is really needed is to show members of the staff, that they are being cared about, and their contributions are being noted. Every staff member is here of their free will and is all contributing with some of their sparetime doing tasks, that are necessary for the community to run. At least from my point of view, there is no different to whether a member is contributing by developing or adminstrating - it's all importan for the server to run.
And before you suggest that you need some kind of skills to be a developer, I can tell you, that this is necessary to adminstrate as well. Where you as a developer need some kind of technical skills, you will as an adminstrator need some human capacity skills and a great understanding of the rules and how to use them in practice. This is from my experience just as hard to find as a good developer.
The reason people are suggesting developers to be paid is because it pretty much a standard. I don't think anyone here is saying that admins aren't as important or anything but more it's down to supply and demand here. There are a lot more people who want to be admin than developer on FL, due to that it's a lot harder to attract new developers than it is new staff members. A lot of people want to be admin and are perfectly fine with them not getting more than ingame benefits. The issue with developers is not many people are going to do it actively without more in terms of rewards, not because they're greedy or anything but because developers getting paid for their is a standard thing due to the amount of work involved in updates versus administrating the servers.
Yeah they're both just as important for the server to run, but it's also a lot harder to get developers than administrators which is why people are suggesting further rewards to attract new developers and also give motivation to current developers.
