R4 isn't royalty
There are only eight R4 places. That scarcity makes them desirable, but a title is not a prize for having been around the longest.

Why titles become emotional
Players invest time, build friendships and become known as leaders. Losing a title can feel like losing recognition. Acknowledge that feeling without allowing it to dictate every decision.
What officers should actually do
An R4 might coordinate Alliance Duel, organise events, support recruitment, handle diplomacy or help members develop. These are suggested responsibilities, not claims that the game offers custom permission groups.
The four special titles
God of War, Diplomat, Recruiter and Goddess are prestigious R4 appointments. They do not create extra R4 places, and an R3 cannot hold one.
Make R3 matter
A respected R3 may be a stronger player, better mentor or more dependable contributor than an officer. The rank should visibly recognise those achievements.
Make stepping back normal
People get busy. An R4 who no longer wants the work can return to R3 without losing friendships or respect. The position stays available for someone willing to take it on.
