Through my time in EQ I have experienced several different types of leaders and even been one myself. The good ones are the humble ones that are willing to help people. When I was in that position I spent 90% of my time helping people do whatever they needed and I never asked anyone to do something that I wasn't willing to do myself twice.
It's very difficult to be like that, but those are the people who inspire loyalty and make you want to follow them and not pixels.

To be the "best" you can't be a good person. You make a choice pixels and integrity and since the only consequences are being bitched about on a forum like this, most people choose pixels. The other path is infinitely harder but it has its own rewards.

good post, I agree with this alot...

I had a shit ton of fun on EQ2, I played on AB, was in the top guild there for a long time. I miss the competition over the Avatars & shit.

Ahh yea it is very tiring for sure but I had fun in the beginning. When fairies started coming out well that was going too far. Mass pvp was always the most fun.

Eldertard your ignorance about gaming in general shines through, does your mom play your character while you tell her what to do? (and obviously she blatantly ignores you, yet you claim success anyway)

Also everyone else u pretty much have it spot on.

Ah, a fellow Nagafener? Roughly when did you quit? I played under the names Reclamation, Demonicone and Wulolwen but your name wasn't TOO familiar... (oh and shortly a t4 templar twink named Incubi)

Ahh yeah I really didn't hit my stride on Naggy til Faydark, but I ran with Insurrection during that time up until Kunark.

People seem to have confused the role of a guild leader and raid leader. Too often they are the same person but this is usually a terrible decision. One person having total control over a guild almost always leads to that person becoming corrupted or abusing the power for the personal gain of themself and their friends.

The leader should play a role similar to oil in an engine. They keep everything running smoothly and not tearing each other apart or locking up. A raid leader MUST be a dick at times, it is a requirement for success. The guild leader is supposed to be the person preventing that dick from taking over the guild.
