Who deserves to be an officer? Guild leaders struggle with this question quite a bit. It comes down to this question: In your guild, does the officer rank exist to reward players or to give them responsibilities? In other words, what is the purpose of the officer rank? Later,
wow gold I'll talk about the two most common purposes. But first, this week's e-mail comes from a player who feels he deserves a promotion to officer.
Hey Scott,
I've been playing with a group of people for five years now. We've stuck together as a guild for most that time, though we've moved from tag to tag over the duration. I left WoW for a short period while I moved across the country and upon my return found the guild I had been in was disbanded and we had merged with another guild.
wow power leveling No big deal, we've done it before. I was an officer in the old guild, but was not promoted to officer status in the new (too many officers, not enough members, etc.). Again, no big deal.
Over the past three months I've taken a very proactive aion gold attitude in the guild. I wrote the guild constitution, restructured the guild hierarchy, built the guild site, organized events and assisted raid leads on a regular basis. In the meantime three of the five officers all but vanished from the game and only show for the occasional raid. Both the co-leaders have stated they want to make me an officer,
aion gold but nothing has come of it. Our guild leadership is notorious for procrastinating. I'm doing all the duties (and then some) of an officer without the promotion. I feel the officers are taking advantage of me at times. Should I outright ask for the promotion? What's the best course of action here?
NAO, much depends on the way officers are perceived in your guild and the purpose wedding dresses of the officer rank. In some guilds, officers aren't actually the people who carry out the day-to-day business of the guild and bear the burdens of responsibility for all of those tasks that you've been performing.

In those guilds, being an officer is a reward. Unburdened by too many extra duties, the officers rule like monarchs. They take care of the occasional crisis.
