EverQuest - can't please all the people all the time

But I'm pretty darn sure, you can manage to tick someone off at least some of the time.

There are definitely some night when I wish I wasn't a guild officer; where I could just login, put LFG on, get some phat lewt and experience, and log back off. Instead, you end up drawn into "so-and-so called me a funny name" or "why didn't you wait 90 minutes until I logged in so we could make an all guild group". Okay, so maybe I'm rebelling against responsibility -- but then, hmm, why do I owe these people anything? Running this guild sometimes is like herding cats, or pushing on a rope, or trying to deal with people who expect more then this guild can reasonably provide.

Hmm, yes I'm burned out a bit. No I don't play as much as I used to, or for as long. OTOH, when I do play, it's usually a good play session because I refuse to sit AFK for 3 hours hoping enough guildies logon to make a guild group. (Instead, I logon, check the guild roster, alliance guild roster, then start looking for people to form a group.)
