As far as Vanquish, I think there's some lessons to be learned.

Playmakers need "warm bodies" and vice versa. If one goes the nuclear option (guild kicks) people over mistakes, yells and berates guild members publicly, and creates an overall atmosphere of fear.. then it's no wonder said "warm bodies" will see the results of taking initiative and choose to remain a "warm body" over risking guild removal for trying and failing. At the very least you won't get kicked, yet the overall effect spells doom for any guild. Playmakers get burnt out carrying the weight and it's just a vicious death spiral. If everyone improves their contributions to a guild by 10%, the benefits are much more than any single playmaker putting in 100%.

Apathy, indifference, and poor leadership decisions all contribute heavily towards the health of every guild just as much as encouragement, tolerance/patience, and enjoyment does.
Remember when you stood up to your bully then got on your knees and rejoined VQ unchainedfury? Take your own advice next time , hope that helps.
