Nevertheless, that's the way it is. If you want that to change, you will need to convince Tom and/or the ZumaGM. Adding more GMs without changing the underlying concept of the NPC realm will not accomplish that goal.
ZumaGM reads this forum, does he not?
I'm not myself convinced that multiple GMs is a great idea and I tend to agree with you that adding GM without changing the underlying concept will not change much. I'm not yet sure how to change the underlying concept to make it better. If I get an idea, I'll post it.
What I don't do is ask people to refrain from arguing their case on the grounds that I'm not the one that has to be convinced, and that anyway things are the way things are.
I get that you're not the one who will take the decision to change things. That's cool, I'm not that person either. Let Vellos argue away. You don't have to agree with what he says, but you don't have to disagree with him saying it.
