you ever seen a level 7 with brights before? you haven't, because you literally can't get brights until level 17-20.

also the peculiar case of the pirates "Lacy" and "Amity" (WHO ARE OWNED BY THE SAME PERSON) magically looting thunderspine with very little effort exerted/no ss proof, the name "Mercedes" despite going against name ToS got approved (brand name), examples are hard to find, but the level 7 in the red corset is a little embarassing

mainly just looking for an explanation of this screenshot; I have heard that mods cannot give items but this is not the case, the ss is proof

The pirate in the screenshot is a TLOPO staff member (on an alt). To be clear, it's true that moderators can't give themselves or anybody else inventory items. Only developers are able to do that.

Lacy/Amity legitimately looted the Thunderspine. Just dumb luck, not everyone screenshots their loot.

Also, the Mercedes brand-name is the namesake of a real person, so it's not so clearly a brand-name in the same sense as "Mickey Mouse" or "Tide Pods."

Edited to clarify that Lacy/Amity is not a TLOPO staff member, and that Mercedes is an acceptable name.
