There comes a time in many guilds where the dynamic of your members change, where the focus changes. I've seen guilds go from being social to wanting to raid in a more structured environment, I've also seen guilds totally lose interest in raiding altogether, preferring to spend time goofing off, PvPing or just running dungeons.
What types of stress does this put your members under? How as someone in a leadership role do you handle those that aren't adaptable to the changes? How as a guild member do you handle the changes whether they are going your way or not?
Over my years of playing Warcraft I've been in all manner of guilds. Everything from super casual to progression minded guilds with extreme levels of organization, I've seen people handle the transitions in guilds differently.
Transitions are hard for anybody since there is so much upheaval, in going from casual to a more organized atmosphere you get attitude changes, angry players (they don't want the change to happen), and many other things, and really at that point all you can do is have your senior members provide a united and calm front.
