On the flip side. Anyone who spends that much time on a game, may not be paying full attention to their job.
This is an idea I've often discussed with my fellow guildies on various games throughout the years, Love to hear your thoughts on this idea.
For anyone here who has been in a reasonably serious guild that raids, it's a logistical nightmare. You're organizing a bunch of people across an entire continent (sometimes the world) and getting them all on computers to do incredibly complicated things at the same time to defeat a virtual monster.
Guilds in a nutshell.
My question is, for the really really hardcore guilds out there, the amount of work, and effort, and planning that goes into these things, as a guild leader that is. Could someone in the future.... say like even 5 years from now, start putting "Guild Leader" On their Resumes...?
Crazy I know, but I don't actually think it's that far fetched an idea... :mrgreen:
You gotta have nerves of steel to be a Guild Leader lol, I'll tell you that. Gonna try it out for Star Wars the Old Republic when it comes out.
Eve being different than other MMO's, the reality is that leading raids is not that bad in most MMO's. Once you have the right people, it's just an issue of giving out the tactics for a fight. With Ventrilo/Teamspeak, even that is not too bad any more. Some of the earlier EQ1 raids with 72 + people and complex scrips(Rathe Council for example) could be a nightmare, but modern raiding not really.
Eve of course is a different animal, since Eve is both strategy and tactics and on a much larger scale, and PvP "raiding".
Mining ops I was part of usually had one person whose entire JOB was to keep things in order.I'm not sure how big your corp is/was or if you ever managed one but try organizing mining and production teams.
That is a thankless job in eve.
I ran an industrial corp for 2 years (we usually had about 50 active members) and it could be a nightmare at times

I think I still have our old org chart.
Here we go
I came in A LOT later than that. When I first came in, Exhumers were brand newBack in the day when eve launched, we didn't have gang skill boosts or specialty mining ships.
The best mining vessels were the Apoc and Megathron, with named miner 1's.
It was basically a requirement that the CEO or Mining director have a hauler alt.
I came back, but quit again, have a sweet set up but have a hard time finding a corp that plays during my main times.
4 accounts 1 Orca, with 1 Hulk and 2 others on their way to Hulk as well.

I'm really excited to see where planetary interaction will go.
Dust is the only game that's made me reconsider my "no consoles" policy. It's an interesting prospect, but they need to SERIOUSLY consider releasing it on PC. Console gamers are generally less likely to play a game like EVE and Dust better be exceptional to unseat HALO as the favored console game.I picked up Eve on an off chance at MediaPlay, never played a subscription online game before that.
Even got to fight in the first corp tournament and lost very badly. :lol:
PI seems interesting, I think it will get a lot better when Dust is released.

That's crazy, you can't be serious... this is actually how you have to do things in Eve?

Some corps do run this way. Consider, that org chart was a rough outline for a mining operation consisting of about 100-150 people that required upwards of a week's advance planning. You HAVE to have this level of organization if you want to run groups of that size with any degree of efficiency. Otherwise it turns into a massive blob of people who dont really get anything done and it turns into a waste of time.That's crazy, you can't be serious... this is actually how you have to do things in Eve?
There is some article from harvard or something directly on leadership skills and warcraft. As in. Yes. If you have a forward thinking 1337 and real company that is in the loop, you could put it on your resume. I suggest guild ranking etc.
