Now, before this thread ends up in the flame section, here's the deal:
After looking into this, it seems like the whole thing has been completely blown out of proportion. Varian/Eowul feels there needs to be a way for the guild's members to remove an inactive or abusive leader. I definitely support this as well. I think having a way to remove guild leadership is a must, as we all know how for example inactive leaders have caused a lot of issues in many guilds. And a simple "log in every X days" system has been circumvented countless of times in many guilds, and there also has to be a way to remove a bad leader, who does things the rest of the guild simply do not like or support. Avatar has no issues with implementing such system either. So Avatar and Varian agrees on HOW the AA should change, the problem is in which order it should change.
Varian and Eowul believes if we are to give a lot more power to the leader (Avatar in this case), the system to remove the leader must also be in place. This is a system that the volunteering wizard believes is a longer and more complex task, which cannot be implemented "quickly".
Avatar feels that we could implement the other, quicker, changes now (give more power to AA leadership), and then implement the system to remove leader later.
So this whole conflict seems to boil down to this: In which order should the changes be implemented.
I understand both points of views. Both makes sense. Avatar wants to have more control so he can make the AA come alive again, which makes sense. Varian/Eowul as responsible wizards for their domain does not wanna risk having a guild where one player is given complete control without any way for other members to do something about it, should they not be happy with their leadership. Which is also very understandable.
So, everybody take a deep breath. And stop this nonsense about this issue is due to wizards trying to mess up the game, or are biased, that it is personal, or anything else silly like that. The above is the whole deal, it's a difference of opinions, but not a huge one either and if everybody just calmed down perhaps we can find a solution that everyone is happy with?
The only thing you will accomplish by continuing to attack the wizards who every day try to make this game better and respond to every mortal request as best they can, is to kill their motivation or even drive them from the game altogether. Of course you're free to complain on what we do, and suggest we do things differently, but when it turns into a thread full of assumptions and attacks on one specific wizard, where people who have no clue about what the issue is even about just jump in to continue the beating it's both mean and silly.
