Scenario questions:
Select any two of the following four questions to answer for this section. Please note, in the scenario questions we are not expecting perfect answers. We are assessing your critical thinking skills, your ability to use the staff handbook, and come to reasonable conclusions.
Q1: A player is deliberately blocking other players' view during critical moments in the game, such as during raids or important PvP encounters. They argue that it's a valid strategy and part of the game. How would you handle this disruptive behavior?
Q2: A player repeatedly uses derogatory language in the server chat, targeting another player based on race. When warned, they argue that it's just "banter" and continue the behavior. What steps would you take to address this issue?
Q3: You receive reports from multiple players that a staff member is abusing their powers by unfairly favoring their friends in-game, providing them with items and advantages not available to others. How would you approach this situation, considering the staff member denies any wrongdoing and claims they are simply helping out friends within the rules?
Q4: A group of players are engaged in constant arguments and conflicts, disrupting the server's atmosphere. They are not breaking any specific rules, but their behavior is affecting others' enjoyment. How would you approach this scenario to restore peace and maintain a positive environment for all players?
