Exactly. You need both to get the kill. Ideally people swap between warm body and playmaker. This circulates knowledge better, and helps to prevent burnout.

The way it typically works out is you have too much time and become a permanent playmaker. Or you have too little time, and you become a permanent warm body.

It is a rare breed that can be a part time playmaker. The best you can hope for is warm bodies who are willing to step up and get on guild bots.

It's a skill to be a good puller, for example, and you are going to lose to the permanent playmakers if you only practice a little bit. I think that is why it is tougher to be successful as a guild with part time playmakers filling those kinds of critical roles.
