The issue of age in WoW has been debated in this column before. Some guilds have age requirements. Some do not. We have discussed whether it matters that the progression raid you find yourself in is led by a 15-year-old or a 25-year-old. For some, it does. Maturity and language are the usual reasons given for age restrictions. For others, if the person does his job, who cares if he is 13 or 33? A 33-year-old can be more immature than a 13-year-old. As this topic has been debated before, that’s not what I’m going to explore. What I’m curious about is, does the age of your guild leader matter?
Leading a guild is, I believe, first and foremost, a labor of love. Essentially, you get very few thanks and an awful lot of «waaaaah.» It’s not unlike being the leader of a small country. No one thanks you for spending four hours putting together a schedule for the month, but they are quick to complain when the right complement of people doesn’t log on, so a raid has to be postponed. You find yourself dealing with inappropriate behavior from all levels. You have to call people on the carpet for something they are or are not doing. They pitch a fit and leave in the most drama-provoking manner they can. You look at what you, personally, would like to do and schedule one event to, say, get that last Burning Crusade raid done for the meta — only no one shows up. There are all sorts of people online, but they are off doing their own thing. Three days later, someone says, «Hey, how come we never run X?» … which just happens to be the raid you wanted to run. Bang your head on the desk much?[hide]Continue reading Breakfast Topic: Is a guild leader’s age just a number[/hide]?Filed under: [hide]Breakfast Topics[/hide], [hide]Guest Posts[/hide][hide]Breakfast Topic: Is a guild leader’s age just a number[/hide]? originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Mon, 05 Sep 2011 08:00:00 EST.
