Nobody on staff has a digital reward as the sole incentive to spend 6 months on PRO, don't worry about it ;3
From what I'm reading in this topic I would think other things lol.
Staff members get contacted to join (rarely are there applications). Then they are tested and taught how to staff. That is called the APP process. That lasts about a month. Then on top of that is another 6 months of working pretty much every day. Someone who is just in it for the reward would not only completely fail at the APP process, but would also burn out before the 6 month period and not receive there reward anyway. So thinking people are here just for the reward is silly and illogical.
Yes everyone does have a chance to become staff. Get recognized from being nice and helpful in the community and you may be given a chance. If you are good enough you will make it past the APP stage and make it to a full staff rank.
