Retribution... even after the changes Blizz has made, it is still very hard to pull off (by pull off I mean the ability to be comparable to other DPS classes). And, if you want to raid, I wish you the best of luck, because you'll most likely end up healing, and not DPSing. Redeemed has always had insufficient healing. People such as Tree, Julienne, Wheretoo, me on Oddbob and poor Sandric (who ends up healing more times than he tanks on raids) have all spent time healing and not DPSing or tanking, which is our main job.
My bottom line is if you want to DPS, make a class that specializes in it.
Edit!: Oh, and about your ideas concern, you may just be picking some subjects for the wrong time. It would be magnificent if Redeemed was smaller.
Once Alhana was the guild leader. I can't remember if he was before or after Fj... Anyway, I talked to Icthus about having multiple guild leaders, a sort of triumvirate system. It did'nt happen, Icthus took over, and I believe he was a great GM who did a lot of good things for the guild. But look, we have 3 guild leaders now. My idea was simply thrown out at the wrong time.
