The job of a Guild Master is often a thankless one - no biggie, i'm a teacher! I'm used to people not realising how much hard work i put in, and just picking up the bits that arent working for them.
When people ask me to do an instance to assist them, i try to give my time. Like running LBRS because a group needed a Damage Dealer, even tho i'd logged in to play my rogue. or Strat when i was playing my Druid, or scholo whe i was playing my priest. But that's no biggie - I'm well equipped, i know the instances, it doesnt take more than an hour or two... well, four at the outside .... unless we wipe ...
I'm terrible at multitasking - i need to concentrate on an instance to get it right, but then i get upset when other ppl aren't paying attention, and miss ready calls or hit the wrong mob or roll on the wrong thing. but that's probably me being anal, isnt it? I can get dramatic, after all it's only a game.
Whispering me while i'm in an instance isn't likely to get a response. put it in a mail, in game, in the forum, in an email. whatever, just don;t expect me to see a line of pink when i have 2 screens of orange flashing by and i'm Masterlooting the Molten Core.
I found out just before i logged on tonight that a new guild had been started becuase some people felt that DL had lost it's way. They were called the Lost Lords. It made me angry - I felt betrayed. not only by the founder, but by those that joined.
I was aware that some were not happy with the guild's current predicament, myself included. I started posts, discussions on the forum, because i have to juggle a family with WoW - I can't devote an hour or 2 to sitting in an inn, defending my actions, or explaining why this won't work or that isnt ready.
So to find that a significant number of people had joined was a slap in the face. and i'm not one to stand there and be slapped - if i'm not appreciated i'll leave - let someone else sort it out.
The reason i came back was because i calmed down and thought that i wasnt going to improve the Dread Lords by leaving - leaving was what others had done, and leaving won't afford me the opportunities to change the guild.
Furter left an instance run partway through when we said that we wouldnt be doing a boss he wanted - i found out that this was the second time in a week. he was removed and won't be reinvited. any character - alt included - that has not been online for more than 3 weeks will be removed. that's right, the 21 day rule is to be enforced again. this will remove about 25% of our members.
For the last year, DL has been my life - I'm a sad bastard that doesnt have a social life, so i had plenty to give, and it has given me much in return. I hope that others have found it equally beneficial.
Right now i'm too tired for more.
