Overseers are usually just people very familiar with the event's rules and going-ons. As it stands now, we've got a pretty decent handle on folks who are up to that role. What we lack now, and always lack, and will likely forever lack, are healers.
Healing the Grindstone is a thankless job where you wait around for matches to end (and they all end at once) so you can run over and do some roleplay. You'll usually be ignored by supertough badasses wanting to walk off broken legs and gouged-out eyeballs, and you are constantly switching between being highly in demand or waiting around for someone to get split open so you can further be ignored. All the while you're in party or linkshell with the jerk on the rock wanting things to be speedy. It's hell, simply put.
I love the people who volunteer to heal, but it's basically Nightmare Mode when it comes to RP.
