That, I agree with....

And its not spin, its truth and very much my story returning
When Azrael was fucking my pals in fear, that's the first thing I said we had to do and something I went straight to work doing
I've rolled back my Crushbone/Unrest PLing initiatives and coaching in hopes someone else would and formed up a new underdog
If you looked at the way things were playing out, there is basically no way Holo should have been able to take its advisor robe and bronze pals to the top to even get 50% of the mobs
Granted we had out of the box amazing leadership that didn't have to learn too much about the game, but the #'s they were running and the gear disparity was very much there
I'd challenge the people forming the resistance to look at helping others up and gearing them as actually helping themselves. That is to say more like beefing up the units you command in an RTS rather than just demanding people do better or join you to help you get pixels without helping them get to that point first and continuing to help them after. Just know up front that it takes a ton of dedication and 45% of the people you help won't be able to keep up with the pace and quit, but the ones that stick around will be extremely loyal to you if you are to them... and its very worth it for all parties involved. I personally have little to show for my efforts plat-wise and alt-wise if you look in my characters banks considering the play time I've put in, but you will also find I am very rich in friends. The guy standing next to me decked out with an epic is much more valuable than that same gear on an alt and absolutely worth doing twice if one of them were to throw up their hands and quit. Remember that when the pixel greed gets to your brain, or end up like Lite with 10 alts to suck on but no one to drive them... unless you think you can get away with boxing contested raid mobs forever.
