Officers’ Quarters: Ball and chain

Every Monday Scott Andrews contributes Officers’ Quarters, a column about the ins and outs of guild leadership. With Ulduar proving to be more difficult than Naxx, raid leaders are focusing more and more on performance issues. Raids are finding out that they can’t just carry their weakest players through this ancient Titan stronghold the way they could through Kel’Thuzad’s floating magical loot pinata. One raid leader in particular has a performance issue with a bit of a twist: The problem player is the wife of one of his best raiders. I warn people that this is a long e-mail, but it is well written and the details are important to what follows. TLDR version is after the break! Hello, Scott I am an officer in my guild and a raid leader for a semi-casual raid (non-Heroic). I am facing a problem that seems perhaps not too uncommon for this type of environment, but it is one I do not know how to fix. One of the best raiders in our guild has ended up in my raid.
