We are in the process of bringing on more Guides to the staff.
The problem is it's extremely difficult to find people that:
1) We can trust. Most important thing.
2) Are willing to work, and treat the work like it's a legitimate job
3) Can be respectful and calm even when being threatened, insulted, or harassed.
4) Can put in 20+ hours a week minimum. Right now we aren't even looking at apps who don't have that much time to put in.
5) Won't burnout/leave/get frustrated within 6 months of joining. We've had 2 Guides turnover in the last few months because they got busy with RL/weren't prepared for the expectations we have of our Guides.
Ascertaining all of that from a single Guide app + interview is difficult, and that's why it takes so long to pick Guides.
All of that being said, apply to be a Guide today! We need YOU to help Norrath!

I always thought being a guide or a GM would be fun but like you said there is a lot of time involved. I considered applying after I watched the last stream sirken did but after reading this I may wait till my life settles down a bit.
If you don't mind me asking what is the issue with trust? Are guides abusing privileges?
