Being successful and being good are two different things. Anyone with enough time and determination can be successful as a guild leader, yet still be the biggest douche on the server.
Through my time in EQ I have experienced several different types of leaders and even been one myself. The good ones are the humble ones that are willing to help people. When I was in that position I spent 90% of my time helping people do whatever they needed and I never asked anyone to do something that I wasn't willing to do myself twice.
It's very difficult to be like that, but those are the people who inspire loyalty and make you want to follow them and not pixels.
To be the "best" you can't be a good person. You make a choice pixels and integrity and since the only consequences are being bitched about on a forum like this, most people choose pixels. The other path is infinitely harder but it has its own rewards.
