Caveat: I don't pretend to have all of the answers. This blog simply explains some strategies which I've successfully employed as a Guild Master in getting the best out of my players.

The Worst-Player-Ever:

Chances are you can, and one thing I noticed over the years running my Guild was that there was always at least one person who was frowned upon by others. Perhaps he wasn't the king of DPS, or if there was...
