Think marco has already stated that anyone can participate, but the initial ones are aimed towards new players (im assuming in terms of small rewards) in order to manage expectations.
Dont think anyone is excluded from the "assignments".
Ill try and dig up his post.

Thats what i understood from it too... The reason theyre giving small rewards and small tasks is probably to save your cash, before you felt like trigger happy into doing a uber quest and get your peds blown up to smitherins for a problem in the system, then come to the forum to rant some more on how the game is bugged.
You people need to decide what the fucking hell do you want, because taking into consideration the dev's team size, you can't get everything done in a week, much less in a day.
In my honest opinion, if you think you can do better, volunteer yourself into helping them, instead of pointing the finger.
This is not a rant towards you lorespade, its a rant towards everyone that thinks this is a shit game, and are constantly pushing it down, without even trying to be the least comprehensive. Sure, some shit needs to be done, i don't argue with that, I, like probably everyone else, would like to see old features, and most bugs sorted, but im not constantly poking around making this game look bad, because it doesnt really help does it? In fact, its only harming it, since newcomers read the shit thats posted on a daily basis (certain periods in time) and are instantly disheartened by what they read (if theyre qualified to read mild english).
You can poke them through other means than public linching (if thats spelled correctly).
The other day we had a pioneer making a random community surveillance, and i found that was quite productive, however there were so many ideas being flinged about, that in all that stuff, which in all fairness, some ideas were quite cool, the pioneer was starting to have problems recording everything, my guess is he was resuming the conversations into quick topics.
All in all, people need to understand that even though we are costumers, if we like this game we also need to give them a little chance, even if they suck us dry and shit like that... They wanna be greedy? cool, ill move onto another game. If they wisen up, ill be damn proud of being able to say i helped into making this game cool and fresh.
