While it's sad that you lost the spot and feel like you are on the outs, you owe it to whatever team you find yourself on, your best effort. I do not think it is fair though, for them to ask you to change your class AND be the #2 raid leader. If they can't appreciate your services, do as Lisa said, look for another guild with your friend or start your own. Do not leech any old members, unless they inquire. That would cause enough drama for another letter :) Best of luck.

I don't get the original issue. Why can there only be one rogue? Heck, my 10-man had 3 mages at one point and we did just fine.

And leading a raid as a DPS is much easier than tanking and raid-leading. Tanks have enough to deal with without telling everyone else what to do.

If we were talking about ranged DPS like a mage or hunter, they have it much easier when it comes to multitasking. But the letter writer in this article is a Rogue, and their playstyle makes it much more difficult to be competitive and raid lead. Anyone who tanks on a regular basis knows better how to juggle those two responsibilities and it's far easier to tank and raid lead.

Which brings us to the other answer to your question. In the letter "Shafted" explains that he/she brought in a friend who is a Rogue and that their competitive nature makes this difficult.
