OK so this is a minor venting session about what frustrates me with being a good guild leader vs a not so good one. Well a successful in my opinion anyways.
And this is all just my opinion.
I know I can cry about it or I can do something about it and start my lvl 10 bank guild up as a legit one. BUT I know I don't have the time and or the patience for recruiting valid members.
Yes majority of the GMs now days have an addon that send invites out to guildless people or something(I really don't know how that works) and just mass invites that way just to lvl their guild.
A good guild master either personally has the time, or he has Co-GMs that he can trust to help take care of the guild while he can't. This includes scheduling Raids, RBGs, Weekly challenges, and even other random guild events. Show the guild you give a shit. You have so much power and you now have followers. Most don't understand how much guildies look towards their GMs for a lot of things. More ranks in the guild is always a must. You promote someone for helping and being involved in the guild and it makes them feel good, like their efforts are not going unnoticed. People that contribute so much to the guild bank and have to ask to be promoted to be able to take things out of the bank. A lot of people don't ask, but if you had an attentive GM, they shouldn't have to ask. I understand GMs taking the proper precautions with trusting people nowdays. Ninjas are everywhere, but I think Blizzard does a good job to get that back. I had first hand experience with that :-) And of course I wouldn't just give access to the ones that don't contribute shit. Majority of the time, if they deposit , they wanna be able to take out. I don't have that problem. I deposit but I very rarely withdraw. I get my own stuff, and I make my own stuff. I ask no one for any help.
I am famous for guild hopping. When I used to run every faction daily for rep I knew that was alot of guild exp that was being wasted. I would always join lower level guilds and make it known that I'm there to help level, then normally I leave. I stayed in one guild for a while IIAsylumII. When GM and Officers were active it was a very fun guild. It's where I met Jugga. And we were on all the time. People get bored and they take extended breaks or even leave the game. GM and Co-GMs included. Not Good. So you leave because once GM is MIA the morale of the guild goes with it. Nothing gets scheduled, no one gets promoted and people feel the need to jump a sinking ship. Some people like that, they're in a lvl 25 guild and it's quiet and they're just there for the perks. I'm like that on my lower lvl toons on different servers. They are alts and I don't care to make friends. Let me get my perks, lvl my toons and you all can suck it, kidding.But seriously I can see where the people come from that don't wanna do anything for the guild just get perks and that's it.
I'm sure I'll think of other to vent about this subject, but I cant think right now.
Bottom line is: You can't Be a successful GM if you don't have the time, Co-Gms to help you out. and Don't expect your guild to thrive into a successful one if you don't care about the people in it. the ones that are helping level your guild.
And this was all of Skully's opinion.
