I've been thinking about something along these lines. Yes, being an event manager is a lot of work, as there is much more that needs to be done behind the scenes that most people never see. And yes, in this case, the event team members are volunteers.

That said, however, when doing something like this, you go into it with full knowledge that it's a lot of work. Cutting corners and then making excuses that there's a lot of work to do just won't suffice. If I volunteered to help an organization in real life and kept making excuses because I didn't have the time to commit to what I promised I would do, they would ask me (politely, I hope) to step down and take care of the things in my life that held my attention. Maybe later, when I had more time, I would be welcomed back into supporting.

Here, we can't do that; we can't ask the events team members to step down and expect it to actually happen. We are stuck with the event team members until they themselves feel like they should step down. Thus, some resentment. It also kills any willingness for others to join in to help.

So, I guess the question is whether or not the events team members have the ability to commit the time necessary to fully flesh out ideas, to do the behind-the-scenes legwork and preparation, to research potential problems (such as mass renaming of players breaking all manner of things), and to put forth quality events with a coherent and engaging story while allowing for the players to feel like they actually matter. Because that's what is needed.
