That's tough. As you say, everyone is recruiting. Given how many guilds a given person can belong to, does a GM publicly stepping away from you all to raid outside of guild make your guild stronger or weaker? I say "weaker", which leads to the question: why is your GM making a tough time for your guild even tougher? It's not that what he wants to do is wrong for him as a player, but it's wrong for him as a GM. There are still people in the guild who care, and GM can be handed to someone else, right? "Follow me (when I'm not with my other guild)!" just doesn't have that motivational ring to it.

The fact that group building and guild orientation has to be JUST RIGHT to make things happen. You can't just login, see who is on, and find fun things to do. It has to be massively organized. Large numbers of people, with the right class mix, have to be available. Fun shouldn't require so much work. -Cambios Blogging about Online Gaming and Virtual Worlds: http://www.muckbeast.com Muckbeast's last blog post: <a href="http://muckbeast.today.com/2008/09/03/bad-design-making-your-own-content-obsolete/" rel="nofollow">Bad Design: Making Your Own Content Obsolete</a> This points to one of the biggest things that is flawed about raid design in general.
