Kreugen was addressing some other issue, but the meat of his statement was notable.
Kudos of conciseness to Kreugen
Does this strike a cord with any of you retired types?Kreugen wrote: Obviously when Firestarter quit FoH for another "competing" guild she found out that the grass was in fact not greener!
What people who haven't had the blessing of being in a position of leadership don't know is that yes, a vast majority of you are in fact worthless fucking sacks of shit who are out only for yourselves. And after the years go on and we get more and more jaded it becomes harder to prove yourselves to us otherwise. Of course, in FoH, we spread the loot around to everybody anyway, so we don't make it so obvious who it is we trust or even like. We try to be as fair as we can be, but nobody seems to believe that until they see the other side of things. You either rule with an iron fist or you and your guild become overrun by the greedy selfish shitheads of the world. And obviously, Firelystarter just learned exactly that.
We didn't set foot in time for over a month to flag recruits when our average raid of 40 wasn't quite hacking it for VZ. So the recruit bit was somebody else.
As far as the cleric thing, well, I'm pretty sure we spread the abuse around equally. It takes a special kind of person to play a cleric for a long time - apparently a very rare person. The vast majority of our clerics are played by our melee. Sadly it works just fine. The thing is, you can't just be complacent about losing. "Oh well dudes, we suck, better luck next week!" Fuck that. Pick a random person and blame his ass if you have to, but make it clear to everyone that somebody or everybody fucked up and if we just do the shit right we'll win THIS time. Over time it keeps people from slacking off, because nobody wants to be the idiot. Everyone should feel responsible for every victory and every failure, but in a lot of cases, the clerics are the only ones who can win or lose a battle and thus the only source of blame.
