I do believe you've completely misinterpreted what I've mentioned in that quote. In my previous posts, I mentioned that most staff joined the guild after they were hired. This was a reply of what Bryan had mentioned about having an advantage of being hired if they were in certain guilds. There isn't any preference towards recruiting staff whatsoever. The reason it may seem so is that we all develop friendships with each other and eventually join the same guilds. This is inevitable unless you expect us to avoid being in the same guild which is honestly rather ridiculous.
As of right now, NightOwls is a guild for people I'm closer to/friends. There isn't any preference towards anyone and the reason why it may seem like other players don't get recruited is that i don't know or trust them. There have been several instances in the past when we've just recruited people when they asked and it certainly did not turn out well. Some decided to bombard us with silly questions like "give me hat pls" "am I admin now" and so on. Another instance is when they've decided to proclaim themselves as our good Friend and go around telling people "give me gralats or I report you, Milo is my Best Friend"
