I've stayed quiet on this whole topic mostly due to the fact that I was one of the first officers to fold up shop. This was not long after THK called it quits. I'm not going to get into the THK, Braen difference of opinion fight, I consider both of you friends and both have outstanding qualities. What I will wade into is the real reason I left is what was quoted above. The above situation is what kicked the slats out from under Mistwalkers from the get go.
We the leadership allowing that kind of a power play in the formulative stages of a guild, caused us to have an enormous deficit in tanks as well as the loss of some solid players who basically (and rightfully) called bullshit on it. The unfortunate part was the afore mentioned player is a friend of mine and to his credit knowledgeable player but with a skull as thick as a fucking rock. I as well as another officer got bored of arguing with him about it, couple that to the fact that I just found the raiding kind of meh, it was pretty easy to just stop playing.
I think that this version of Mistwalkers was pretty damn successful and on the whole, a lot of fun, but this just goes to show how selfishness and ambivalence as well as the whole "hey he's my buddy, let
's make 'em an officer" ol boy network mentality can be real killer.
