Nobody is saying to be like some very ridged guilds and boot people who don't play as often, and are forced to participate in events.  It is perfectly cool to just play when one wants and run the content one wants.  If a person only wants to run BG, or end game, then that is cool.  Members are required to only run 1 guild activity per week.  these activities have been decribed as: &quot;*Guild activities include but are not limited to Instance runs, Guild PvP runs, Guttin Fools in Redridge, Riding the Tram, Leveling if not 60, or any other activity that directly aids the Mains of Guild &quot;.  If we want to change this policey, then I suggest we openly discuss the topic, and don't be afraid to express various points of view.  

When a guild struggles to grow, there are bound to be differeing opinions as to the path we take, and if we are even going down the right path.  I know some of us want to grow and be able to have choices in the content we run.  I don't believe we can run as much content as a small guild, as we can if we were larger.  On the other hand, small guilds can often offer a closer enviroment and people get a greater since of belonging and comrodery.  It takes strong leaders to bring that same since of unity to larger guilds.  The reason for the structure in the leadership is to have individuals responsible for maintaining a positive, team oreinted, and fun environment for the body of the guild where everyone has fun and wants to work together.  

if people are not online, then they can not help foster this idea of team.  If one is not willing to run with the noobs, or participate in lower lvl crap, basically &quot;work with the troops&quot; than how can they manage the troops and determine the direction the guild is going, or if it is even going in a positive direction.  it is a basic managment issue of keeping abreast to the pulse of the group.  By isolating oneself from a core group of the guild, then one will lose touch with the masses.   This simply is my opinion of management, but there are plently of examples of successful organizations where the upper management (officers) don't stay in touch with the front line emplyees (memebers).  I think there may be more though that have gone bankrupt.  (no facts to back opinion, pure perception)
