Apparently you fail at reading, because that is not what he said at all.

@SarahTheGnome No that's EXACTLY what he is saying.

actually he's not. And there was no mention of politics either. He said to wait a second and consider why you were upset before you started causing issues about it.

1) Not getting the tier token defaulted to you on a guilds first kill of that boss is not a reason to be upset.

2)Not being able to raid with the guild when you refuse to run heroics and do nothing to gear yourself is not a reason to be upset.

3) Not being able to to achievements because your guild is more concerned with gearing up every member rather than just taking the same 8 people to a raid week in and week out is not a reason to be upset.

If the officers are not listening to the guild, or only taking their friends to raid, gearing up only themselves, etc... then there is a reason to do something. Something more than complaining. If you approach the officers with your concerns and they do nothing, then you take action.

No bob, it is not what he is saying. He is encouraging to speak to officers when you have issues. All he is saying is: make a list in your head about all the things you never feel like complaining about, then list, next to that, the one complaint you have now and feel that is such a big deal.

Maybe, when weighing both those lists, one negative aspect is not really worth starting a war over. A little secret here. Officers and guildleaders, often do things, and take the decisions, they do not approve of themselves, but they make them for the good of the guild, because the majority wants it so. They don't attempt to mould the entire guild into their own little playground where they get all the fun and rewards while members suffer. So naturally, members will, in turn, not like every single decision either. That's life, that's how it works. You can never please everyone 100%.

All that is being said here is; hey, if you like 90% of how the guild works, is the 10% really worth feeling so crap and mistreated about? Or could you give kudos that the guildleader and officers actually managed to make you happy for 90%?
