We demand a lot of our Guides, and don't want to disillusion anyone over the work that will be required. There is a ton of fun and it's a rewarding position, but there are expectations and we do expect people to take the position very seriously.
I understand where you are coming from with your post, but we've had enough experience bringing on new staff members to recognize that it's extremely important we detail exactly what it is we're looking for so that people know what they are getting into.
As for mentioning that it took a year for me to get a response, again, I'd rather be honest than tell a lie to make things look "better". After you've put in a Guide application you could literally be pulled up for an interview at any minute.
Lastly, we really do want people to consider this position as a serious responsibility and privilege. We want people to understand what they are getting themselves into. Being a Guide is one of the most rewarding things you can do here on Project 1999, assuming you are that kind of person who wants to help the server more than anything else.

I understand ful.. wait, no, actually I don't fully understand why you need to paint such a bleak picture, but given how hectic sometimes things were on live with server teams having up to 30 members + backing of 50something SWAT guides + GM's + DEV's or Guide/GM Liasons AND still managed to end up shits creek.

But I pointed out what I did for the simple reason that I can't be the only one thinking the entire thing might be a bit discouraging. Especially since I know quite some people who don't want to return to EQ/EVE "because they don't need another job".
Best of luck however in finding reliable people, if nothing else to relieve your shoulders from the weight of the world you're carrying (Server staff in general).
