I got a reputation for knowing everything that happened in the guild. Why? Because when drama broke out, by the time they got around to telling me... I already knew. Unfortunately, balancing "what you want to do" and "listening to someone tell you about the drama you already heard about, dealt with, and thought you'd never hear about again" is what guild masters do. It's better to listen to something you've heard 15 times than to ever tell a member "I don't need to hear this". The moment you say "I know" is the moment they think you don't care anymore.

It’s better to listen to something you’ve heard 15 times than to ever tell a member “I don’t need to hear this”. The moment you say “I know” is the moment they think you don’t care anymore.
