Jump off the cliff

After month of leading legion, sometimes I can't help but feel

I agree, there are a lot of things I've learned, and enjoyed while leading a group. And majority of time, the satisfaction outweigh the frustration, which allow me to continue. I certainly enjoy doing research, map out a strat, and see it executed flawlessly to achieve desire result, but majority of time, it went worse than originally planned, and rarely go better than expected.

For example, earlier's Muru run:

Example No.1

Afania: Ok, SMN and SCH please setup stun rotation, and test it in /l chat to make sure it works. Stun and PD order are

(3 min passed)

Afania: Err, did you guys setup stun rotation? 

SMN No.1 /tell:How do you setup stun rotation? What does stun rotation means?

SMN No.2 /tell:Sorry, but I don't know how to do it

(spent next 5 min explain what does stun rotation means in /l chat)

Afania: Ok fine, you stay out of stun rotation. Everyone else tested stun order in /l chat?

(After Muru)

SMN No.3 /tell: The stun order was never followed lol

Afania Q.Q

Example No.2

DD:Embrava wore

Afania:Ok SCH No.2 embrava go!

(SCH did nothing)

(1 min passed)

Afania: SCH embrava? Embravaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Example No.3

Afania: Ok, so our killing order for is, wave 1: Sandworm Ixion Turul Wave 2 Worm Turul Ixion

(On wave 2)

Pt member: Why is everyone killiing 2 different mobs at once on this wave

Afania Q.Q

Example No.4

Afania /tell to SMN: So if you stay out of stun rotation, can you keep DDs hasted?

Afania: MAKE SURE EVERY DD IS HASTED

(After Muru)

DD /tell:I never get hasted in entire run lolz

Afania jumps off the cliff..........

Long time ago, one of the leader leading top EGLS across whole server said something like this "Our LS has some of the most talented player, but without a good leader, it won't make them shine. "

Thus I've always trying to be a good leader, like what he said. IMO, good leader fully understands each player's capability, and will try his/her best to make the best use of it. Good leader are good at organization, and communication. And more importantly, ability to set out a goal, and aim for it for everyone to follow, and when it fails, a good leader should bravely take all the responsibility instead of blaming members.

I've already realized very long time ago, that "baby sit" each player's role is very important in this game, and only a few very talented player that knows what to do in right time and doesn't require baby sit. 98% of players, if you don't tell them what to do for optimal result, then they're not going to do it, nor have the ability to find out how to improve. I still see ppl in this game that's "doingitwrong", every single day, every single sec.

Thus, it made me want to jump off the cliff when pt still not doing what's planned after all the baby sit.

Perhaps I'm missing something, or perhaps learn to deal with none-talented players is required for leaders to do, or perhaps this game just doesn't have enough left over talented player to do something like Legion, as only 1% of population is that good, which isn't big enough.

I guess if I want to run a company in the future irl, this is probably the biggest problem I will face myself. Most talented ppl go to best/biggest company, while smaller company having to deal with luck when hiring.

It's certainly not hard to get ppl interested in legion.

But the hardest part is, get ppl that can get the job done nicely, which just consists of way too small % in this game.

Or perhaps, there's something I missed as a pt lead, that I'm unable to make best use of each pt member's capability.......

Maybe time to study more about business manage or leadership................
