You're in a judge/jury/executioner position and it really creates a lot of weird trust issues within a team.<br /><br />I'd never do it again, myself, but I'm sure there are ways to manage it - depending on how hardcore your guild is and how firm your guidelines for expected behavior are.Saifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008976821824336102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319395270960586302.post-69296577799844157592011-11-28T11:18:20.866-08:002011-11-28T11:18:20.866-08:00I think that's what I'm going to do as wel...I think that's what I'm going to do as well. I've never seen it go well when the raid leader and guild leader are the same person. So in the interest of not inviting disaster I'll get one of the other officers to step up to lead raids. <br /><br />It's kind of sad to contemplate though. I really like leading raids when the team actually gels and starts kicking ass and taking names.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090086040272186632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319395270960586302.post-38059942392782232992011-11-28T10:04:14.123-08:002011-11-28T10:04:14.123-08:00I had the same thing going on after 2 years of con...I had the same thing going on after 2 years of continuous raid-leading, and I realized it was very close to burn-out. Rather than try to blaze through it, I took on a back-up role with another long-term member taking the forefront of scheduling and making the big calls.<br /><br />Saved raiding for me and the guild.<br /><br />I'm sure you have options! Good luck. It's not fun when you're dreading raid nights. :(Saifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008976821824336102noreply@blogger.com
