There are many different sorts of leaders in group content. There are the people who are “leaders” in the sense that they set the pace and communicate with the team, but they aren’t pushing people to do things. There are people who are writing out a long enough list of commands to create an entire novel. And there are people who think that having a little indicator of being the party leader makes you the unquestioned lord and master of the group. This is true in pretty much every game.
But today, we’re not asking about your leadership style (no one ever says “I’m an imperious dillweed who isn’t half as good as I think I am” in response to that, after all). No, today we just want to know if you are a leader. After all, if a party in Final Fantasy XI has one leader, it by definition has five followers. So do you take the lead in MMO groups? Do you gravitate in that direction? Or do you much prefer to be the one doing the following?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
