Staff resigning every 1 - 2 weeks is way off. Cannot say the exact number due to me no longer being part of staff anymore but that's waaaay off.
You can follow rank changes in Discord now btw. It was added recently and seems to include everything that has something to do with ranks like staff, wiki and clan chat.
Speaking from personal experience as in what's the most common reason of resigning is inactivity & personal choice. Abuse demotions happen very rarely. I don't want to go into very much detail due to privacy reasons.
Inactive being a person who barely logs in, follows Discord or forums. I didn't really consider a person inactive who logged in 2 - 3 times a week (weekends) and followed what's happening.
Compared to Scape the 'turnover rate' was much higher. Amount of staff basically remains the same, players per staff member is now lower though due to population.
As in why there are no permanent ranks or they change rather often is because a player who actually plays the game (-> inactivity becoming the #1 reason for demotion) is
always preferred over someone who is solely looking to moderate the server.
I personally never promoted anyone (or even considered) who were solely looking to moderate the server.
Higher ranks like admin+ don't change that often, fairly rarely actually and game admin rank even more rarely. 2 Resignations from game admin rank past 2 years I think?
