(This is a follow up of sorts to the first Work Raid Encounter post.)
I expressed interest to the GM of taking over as the raid leader for our guild. I feel it's something I am ready for and have been preparing for for the last couple years of playing.
Unfortunately, they declined to take me up on that offer and wish to keep me as merely an officer/class leader/sometimes co-raid leader. I don't know.. something about wanting to eventually rebuild a guild or 2 they disbanded months ago and run them either through a merger or as a raiding alliance all under 1 raid leader. Apparently I'm not qualified to “maybe someday” run such an alliance or merger.
How far ahead are we looking? Seriously? We can't fill raid spots now and benching more members isn't completely off the table that I'm aware of.
Blarg. I need another expansion so I can level up to the next cap and train s'more skills, me thinks. But damn, that gets expensive. And our guild bank doesn't give out loans.
But they do “appreciate” my dedication and willingness to co-raid lead for the time being… as well as all the farming I do and helping my guildies gear up.
