RBGW: Then and Now

Jude, stop playing games. Watch Showtime on cable tv. :neenernee

So, for those that don't know, I stepped down as GL because my father had to go into the hospital. Since then a lot has happened and I've been doing a lot of thinking. I signed on earlier today and people were still complaining about the officer list situation and I've realized that enough is enough. We proposed changes to the in game guild structure to simplify things and make life easier for those of us that still play. We weren't suggesting that the community was bad or whatever people apparently thought. I just wanted a system in place so things could possibly run smoother, but apparently that's too much for some people to handle.

At the same time, I've been trying to figure out what it is that RBGW stands for. To put it blunt, it doesn't stand for anything. I checked the main page of the website and the tagline and that's not how RBGW acts at all. People talk about doing things that are pretty blatantly against what ANet wanted or the way they set things up, all in the name of making the game easier.

What's worse are the personality conflicts. Right now I don't feel anything but animosity towards certain people and I don't like that. I don't want to feel that way. It's at the point where I don't look forward to signing on anymore.

So, rather than rambling on and on yet again and getting into an argument over something not worth arguing about, I'm simply going to say this: while I was GL, I considered kicking certain people out of the guild to make things better for the people that were still around and active. That was wrong. RB isn't mine. I wouldn't have had any right to do that. But the fact remains that there are some personality conflicts here that simply can't be resolved. So, rather than staying around and pretending that nothing has happened or is happening or will happen, I'm moving on. It's time to walk away.

Thanks for the ride, it was a lot of fun while it lasted.
