I joined a guild about 3 months ago and played a few days a week. There was definitely some hidden drama going on. About a two weeks ago we were finishing a drak run and suddenly one of the gm's alts was promoted to gm. My eyebrows went up and then I started seeing the /gquits start. We lost the mage (and main dps), the GM the Main Tank. The 'what the hell' whispers starting flying around. I kept hearing, 'it's not your fault, sorry you got caught up in the middle'. Really? We're they actually sorry or were they trying to justify their actions and feel better about ditching guildies??!!! I ended up leaving the shell of the former guild thinking that it was all over feeling very alone and betrayed. About a week later those of us that felt that betryal actually put the guild back together and I ended up being the co-gm. I got my guild back, I got promoted and now I feel like I'm home again. Not to shabby! I'm not a raid leader but I can keep personalities flowing together peacefully. Its smaller but I think in the long run we will be happier. All the 'what about me's' will be long gone getting done what they think they need to get done. The rest of us will plod right along just fine in our new home!
I'm glad it all worked out for you. I'm in discussions now with my other guildies as to what we will do with our group. I think we may have a shot at getting it going again. I'll let you know how it works out.
