[QUOTE="XGC Coleslaw XI, post: 121485, member: 6"] [B]this is the reply i had back from the friend whom i sent the first message to: [/B]"The two questions I have are: why don't all these frustrated XSs that just demote themselves and remain in XG and what is it that's making all these people leave? It's easy to sit back and say "Let them go and do what they want to do." ...but the "problem" still remains. I think the best thing to do is investigate why they are leaving and fix the problem. That way, as generals are promoted to XSs, you may have less of these mass exoduses." [B]i felt that this too was worthy of reading, as it may too help some people out... this was my response: [/B] "i want to address your two questions first... 1. a lot of times people do demote themselves... there is just a lot less drama involved when that happens and you don't hear about it as often... but there's another reason that people don't do that and it's an ego... they think that they would have to go back as a Sgt. and take a million directions from someone and they just can't do that anymore... but the thing that they forgot is that it is very easy to be a Sgt. especially if you don't want to move up in rank... if you just want to game, there's no one that is going to bother you.. the worst you'd have to put up with is when you want to play with ur buddies whom some of which are leaders they may have meetings, so you can't play with them 24/7... and to address your second question the main thing that makes people leave is a similar answer, an ego... i'd say that 95% of the people that leave, go because they get caught up in what another member is doing... i have to explain this cus it sounds confusing now, but i've seen it happen at least 40 times... here's how it happens... for example let's say someone gets promoted to section leader, they are doing a good job and they know it. sometimes they feel like it's a competition to see who can get promoted to division leader first... well they start evaluating all of the other section leaders, and they say "well i'm better than that other guy" so they automatically think "i'll get XS before him..." the only thing is that this person may or may not be a better leader... we try our best as the council and every leader for that matter to evaluate who the best leaders are... and we vote on every decision (big surprise)... anyway for some reason (it could be that the other XS is simply a better candidate for a promotion) the other XS gets promoted before our section leader in question... then this guy looks at it as "wow i can't believe it, i'm such a better leader, this guy doesn't do anything and he got promoted before me..." and the even bigger problem comes when they start complaining to their generals telling them how bad of a leader the other guy is.... now the XS in question starts saying obviously there is favoritism among the leaders because there is no way he should have been promoted before me... the funny thing is over half the time... the guy doing all of this complaining was probably being discussed for a promotion the next week, or very soon... that has actually happened... we might have promoted the other XS and said "we'll vote on the XS in question next week because (there can be many reasons) not enough of our XC's and council truly know this XS" we have all intention of promoting the XS in question, we just have a few checks in place that happen before we do that... then we hear about this guy complaining before we promote him and he ruins it for himself... then when he doesn't get promoted again because we chose not to since he is complaining to everyone he shouts "favoritism" again... that should sum it up... if there is a confusing part let me know and i'll clear it up for you... i also wanted to address the statement you made about going and investigating why people leave... we do that 100% of the time. the person leaving is willing to talk about it to the council prolly 75% of the time and after talking about it they decide not to leave to stay and be just a gamer 50% of the time.
