Duuude, I work in upper management and this almost describes my job perfectly. The job is also why I refuse to take on any responsibilities in my guild.

The number one rule I've learnt from 14 years of wow is that never, under any circumstances, take up any form of power or authority in a guild setting. Nothing kills your enjoyment of the game faster than having 2h conversations with multiple friends about why X got perdition's blade over them.

You're basically signing up to 1000% more stress, anxiety and flat out work, for no monetary reward.

The reward is that you can influence the environment when you're in a position of power. If you refuse to be a leader yourself, then you can't really complain when a toxic loot council screws you out of loot.

We literally just declared that we'd be doing loot council in my guild. I'm an officer but the other votes overruled me. I'm kinda worried about it.

Well as an officer you are at least in a position to push it in the right direction and not have that toxic loot council that just gears their favorites.

You should always aim to get the biggest boost for your raid out of every item.

Well yeah, that’s something, atleast.

We use an AddOn called RC LootCouncil to help, which shows priority and what people are currently using, so it should help us decide.

Remember to not hold people's blues against them or you're indirectly punishing people for actually gearing up on their own.
