Thoughts on GCs?

[BlackSolider]

Simply making the comment that "the ineptitude of the GCs is the reason why events weren't enjoyable" doesn't solve the issue.

Perhaps suggesting some ways to solve this, get around this, overcome this, etc., would help solve the issue.

For instance, what do you want GCs to be doing during events? Would you want them watching like a hawk for people uber-lagging, idling, or otherwise cheating in certain events? Do you want them to be mostly hands-off and let things run their course?

If GCs are supposed to be "laizze fare" or w/e, then they don't have to be overly adept at anything. If GCs are supposed to be creative geniuses that use their ingenuity to create awesome, competitive events, then thats what they need to do. But I can state from experience that down the stretch, many players simply wanted a GC to host their favorite event so they wouldn't be completely bored on classic.
