I was going to say something funny but then I realized I am brain dead tired so it doesn't seem as funny a second time. Regardless... I was not present for the majority of the raid last night and unfortunately won't be tonight either. To recap on my attendance, I will be fully present this coming Tuesday, gone the Wednesday, then return to regularly broadcast hunter antics through raid - I can guarantee all but one or two days - until the release of Legion. Assuming it will come out at the end of this year. From what I did see of the last 45 minutes was that you did seem to take your newfound authority with a respectable about of responsibility. Perhaps you were cracking the whip too close to some people's heads, but over-performance in a new position is better than under-performance. You'll have to figure it out yourself where to balance your new power between being strict and lenient since every officer has their own rhythm (whether by choice or otherwise). There is a great band of officers at the wings ready to assist you or guide you into what paths could be taken better or help you with reflection over some things you may have done wrong or right; during raid through private discussion or after raid with a relaxed atmosphere. It would be nice to allow you to ease yourself into the position before complaints or critiques are thrown into the onslaught of voices and panicked pixels running around in a chaotic mess seeking an authoritative voice to lead them... however, sometimes you just have to roll with the punches. It's trial by fire. Don't stand in it and you should be fine once the burns fade. No one - certainly not me nor others that have posted - want to see you fail as an officer. So far, you're already showing strength in noticing your weaknesses and reflecting over it. Find your balance. Don't stress yourself out. Just do what you can to the best of your ability and you'll be a good officer.

You were pretty timid compared to when I yell at people, so people shouldn't take it so hard. Raid leading / being an officer isn't all it's cracked up to be, people who have been in that position before understand but people who have never had the responsibility seem to have the most issue with officers. It's not easy and most of the time isn't fun. It's stressful to try and progress the raid forward while trying to maintain a fun atmosphere within the raid team. If we push too hard people get feelings hurt when they get called out, if we are too relaxed then bosses don't die in a timely manner and people get burnt out from wiping on content we've killed before. It's the officers/raid leaders job to find a nice balance between them.
