Being a LS leader is obviously a very stressfull possition to be in, (Glad I didn't throw down 8k for these stresses) and I can somewhat, although not fully, sympathize with the responses of WYS.
Everyone has different ways they would handle this situation, most of them being booting the people involved from the LS, either temporarily or perminently. Unfortunetly in the situations where someone types out a formal apology, it becomes difficult to firmly punish them. In this case, the excuse of the lower level person not having experience with NM hunting is void. Before taking a person out on a hunt for the first time, there should always be some form of breifing, not just to set boundries, but also as a means of gauging their responce to determine wether or not you believe they are mentally ready for the hunt, and finally for their own safety.
In dealing with this situation, both people should, in my book be given a probation in which they are forced to collect majiced skulls for the newbs in the dunes a whole day. *No camping VE allowed* (That is just something I have often pondered as a suitable punishment for people :lol: ) I think this is probably the best form of reconcilliation a person can give, in effect it is a Rare/Ex drop for a rare/ex drop. And you are helping others while doing so.
In dealing with the actions of select LS members, one has to be aware of a possible backlash to punish someone for something they felt was a just actions, despite the populous' disagreement. Having a LS policy that includes the OKing of NM stealing is a bit standoffish and could be seen as a cause to purposely steal from your members, even if they had no part in any NM stealing themselves. Seeing that happen would sadden most anyone, I'm sure.
A formal Appology by WYS should not be needed for any of his LS member's actions in my book. If he doesn't get the praise for their good doings, he should not take the fall for the things they do wrong, it is just poor logic to think otherwise. From here on out, I feel that any actions taken by BoL members that would tarnish their LS's reputation should be addressed solely by WYS and if someone has a complain they should not /tell him in game, as he doesn't sign on for that, but maybe just PM him here, so that he can look at any complaints/praise when he feels up to it, not when we feel he needs to be told.
Again, all this is just my personal opinion, but I think everyone would be happier with such a solution. And it would make WYS's playtime more enjoyable as well.
