You have to be part lunatic to be a raid leader / guild manager. That is, or extremely easy going. I am probably more of the former than the latter. I added people to the guild with a specific raid schedule and now one of the key roles (tank) decides he won't raid on Sundays (the last day in the raid cycle). So, that means I am missing a key tank at the hardest part of progress.
The right thing to do, is move him down from "frequent raider" status and he becomes a player that gets a spot when one is available. But that is logic. Unfortunately, that's not how things always work out. Why? Because a lead healer is his friend. If I treat him in an "unfair" way, I lose a healer. I suppose that also wouldn't be the end of the world, but it's not a pleasant experience and it sets me back.
I'm gonna have to think on this one before I make a move. If you find yourself in such a situation, you can know that I, at least, am gonna have to think it through.
I wish my logic and emotions were not connected together, but, they are. I hate being unfriendly which is, unfortunately, part of the job. You don't get to be the person people like. You are the person that makes it happen, I suppose I am telling myself.... (I am laughing at this point).
