Drama happened everywhere, the most likely times it happens are RP communities and Endgame communities. I know RPers hate to admit that, but it is the truth.
That being said, people are going to leave your FC for whatever reason. We have had, to date, two people leave in the Night Blades - one said they were being ignored and the other... I actually don't know. The NB has been around for 10 years and has seen A LOT of drama, hell the original NB was formed because of a split (I ran the Crimson Pirates and Ellion ran set up the Night Blades and took half the CP with him), we split in WoW once over stating that the main healer of our guild needed to practice more (This was not an RP incident, we were not on an RP server at the time) - she didn't take it well and took all her friends with her. In Aion, the Night Blades didn't form till about 3 months in because we were in another guild and that didn't go well.
Drama is natural in any community, and in a guild - where feelings can run high because you know people - this is doubly so. You just have to learn, as a guild leader, that if they don't want to talk it out (It happens sometimes) that you need to just brush your shoulders off and ignore it. People will ask you about it and you can tell your side, but always be respectful and calm about it. You don't want to prove your "haters" right after all
.
I get into trouble a lot because of Loki's personality, she is really haughty and speaks her mind and she is (truth be told) kind of a bitch about it. I have gotten in a lot of trouble over that, even though it wasn't me, and Ellion had to tell me to reign her in till people get used to her.
Oh and this is not an RP thing, here's some drama that happened to endgame guild:
1. One guild we were friends with disbanded because after a week of doing "Wrath of the lich king" some of the raiders thought others weren't leveling fast enough and there was a HUGE fight about it.
2. Another guild we were friends with split because their officer (Who was supposed to be their leader but took a break and had recently came back) asked to be made leader again. It wasn't the fact she had asked, it was the fact she had asked during an instance that made them leave. Yeah... just an instance.
3. FFXI's endgame was notorious for drama. LS's against LS's, American vs Japanese, claims of botting, MKing other players, all kinds of stuff. Our little drama was nothing compared to what they pulled out their hat
