I have to agree with Shun. Pointing fingers doesn't help activity. I definitely understand that members want to have jobs/quests/sagas graded before they move onto something else, especially since sometimes the points/zeni from the grading enables the progression of the planned storyline (buying an item, purchasing a ship to go to a planet, etc.) while other times an ungraded fight can feel like moving on is weird since there isn't closure from the last action.
On the other hand, staff cannot make anyone write. That is entirely on the writer's shoulders to find the initiative. Even with what I wrote above about grading, none of that stops anyone from writing about something. We've even got dual characters in case you want to have a break from your main storyline. Staff can engineer sagas and tournaments but the last few of those have petered out without any solid reason.
To move forward, everyone has to take responsibility to an extent for the lack of activity, but it really comes down to the effort of each individual writer. If you want to write, I mean really want to write, none of the above will stop you.
