Do you believe GM pirates actually play the game?

GMs don't level up and their weapons don't level up.

They get prefabricated pirates and weapons, usually just for GM events. If you see them playing around the game, it's because they're either fooling around or testing the game and glitches.

If you watched some of the videos in the video sections of the pirates site one developer even says, and I vividly quote, "Sometimes I play the game when I'm supposed to be doing other things. Hee, hee."

If the GMs play the game, I'm upset, because that makes me feel like my money is going to waste when half of the staff is in the game messing around and the other half is trying to work on new content.

The GM's being in-game at other times than events is probably a perk for them working for Disney. A bit like getting a discount or concessions when working for a company. I don't begrudge them a bit of down time in game whether they level up their pirates or not. IMO I'm sure many of them have unlimited accounts and mingle with us mortals every day of the week, we just don't know it. I'd enjoy them in the game whatever, they're a great enhancement, who ever is playing whichever GM. Long may they continue with the GM Events.
