I brought up this very same issue today, except rather than focusing on BRD, I was more focusing on the group of players that play among this sort of social group that FCC belongs to. The idea went something like this: This "group" makes up the majority of the disgruntled, coincidentally uninformed/misinformed, "loud" na players. Maybe if they had an active admin(had actually forgotten about Pappy) to properly give them perspective, they wouldn't be quite so eager to cry wolf, take things out of context, assume the worst, etc.
Of course the idea is shot down rather easily from multiple directions.
"<>if a clan has players with a shitty perspective on authority/how things go, then having admins in it explaining things "from the other side" wont change a thing
<> itll probably just create more internal friction
<> it'll probably just result in that person being ostracized"
This exact thing has actually heppened in the past inthis community as well. So we know the logic doesn't quite hold up.
Ultimately the most important thing for admin consideration, is that they actually meet the qualifications on their own merits, not that they're in faction with a low admin to member count ratio. Although that's a benefit, it doesn't actually mean anything since you can't really have too many administrators if they're all of the desired quality and they all fulfill their required tasks.
There are other reasons as well, but I'm sure they'd just come off as being "biased", even if they were stated by EU administrators.
