I haven't done anything for years so take this as you will:
When I was a GM forever ago, most things were done and planned in IRC/discord, a brick of a post in the private forum of collected ideas, then flushing out in said board and re-recycling the ideas again in IRC/discord. The last part is a cycle within itself. Can't vouch for today's time but depending on how elaborate the event was, it could take two weeks to a few months of planning. Planning would be staff availability to host, scheduling out a time to go live, grabbing art, determining prizes, rules of the event, what is the actual event is, how will idiots try to abuse this, how will people try to play the victim in such cases that something didn't go their way. There's just a lot of little "*yeesh*" scenarios to wrap around. So in places where the normal users can't stick their noses in, of course it probably seems like not much is being done, but with my prior knowledge and experience, I knew what happened in the past. But hey, I'm just a normal user now, I could just be full of shit... now, I guess. I don't know what's really going on anymore in the present.
Yes we all know this would be brought up: This game isn't pulling 2010-2013 numbers. The demand for like-clockwork in-game KO tourneys just isn't there. There isn't a need to have a KO tourney every hour. I wish there was, it was really exciting being 14 and seeing the broadcast announce that there is a wushufixed.tbm tournament starting soon. A lot of people would drop everything and just join in hopes of winning and for some casual chat. Being the host, it felt great seeing a maxclient room of 28 fill up in about 60 seconds and people ready to play. Being a GM/ES in that time was awesome, stressful, but awesome. I'm just reminiscing though... when I was big man prime ed, I'd average probably 25 in-game KO tourney's alone in a month. Going probably as high as 35 or 40 in a month. I was probably 1 of 20 people in the team and at least 4 others were doing the same. Shit, we literally had bets to see if Uric or myself would host the most in a given month, Admins/sir can look at the deprecated GM board and post a screenshot if you'd like. Yes, we would have our slackers and yes we would have our inactive people. But for the most part we had a solid team and the majority would host with good rates to have an overall timezone coverage where everyone would have a chance to win some tc and items.
We had this issue before, we had it before my time, and we will continue to have it. It's going to always happen. In my early years as S-Mod I remember people saying similar things about myself when I was dealing with rough times mentally and physically, working 14 to 16 hours a day nearly every day in my early 20s. Not trying to make this into a pity-me, passive-aggressive statement, it just happened and that's the fact of it. Some people will think those things and It's neither wrong or right to think like that. Perspective is what solidifies those thoughts.
So to get back at your question. Does anybody in the ES do anything? Perspective and wisdom plays into my answer, I suppose. Do they do less? Yeah, probably. Is it warranted? Yeah, probably. Are there things the average person doesn't see what's going on, therefore, they take not "seeing" as not "doing"? Yeah, most definitely... probably.
