in real life, when you are promoted at your job, it's often because they see potential in you. you're not promoted to become a manager because you were already doing manager level work. it's because you were doing beyond your current position and had the potential to be a good manager. once promoted, you can't keep performing at your previous level. you need to step up to the new responsibilities.

to the OP, i think that the problem is that the only reason your friends are officers are because they are your friends. in this case, you WILL have to tell them that you need their help in maintaining the guild.
