| The biggest issue with MW was that there was no one driving the boat. I'm sorry, Braen, that's just the reality. You can't run a guild by committee when 3/4 of the fucking committee doesn't even respond to shit in the officer forums for a week or more. MW went over a month without guild rules posted AFTER the topic had been addressed not only on the officer forums but the member forums as well. I wish I could say that was an isolated incident, it wasn't. Hell, officers wouldn't even follow the simple procedure of signing up for our raids so we knew if we would have certain classes or not.
There were all sorts of issues with MW, Braen, the least of which was officers not getting along. That bickering was a byproduct of a lot of frustration that stemmed from all the stupid crap that was allowed to continue, no matter how much it was hurting the guild as a whole.
I disagree that MW didn't have a chance as a concept. We ended up with a nice little core of people. Add in some proper recruitment, an actual set-in-stone plan for the guild and some more officers that would follow through on things? Hell, it might just have worked. |
