Hence the reason why Erza becoming Guild Master was a bad choice to begin with. Because she is a main character and the purpose of a Guild Master is to sit back at the guild, watch and protect it and its members, and be there in the event of an emergency. Erza cannot do any of those things because of her status as a main character, meaning she is going to be the most irresponsible Guild Master the guild has seen thus far. Erza is too young and too hot-headed to be the Guild Master, which is why Makarov was reluctant on her being his replacement in the first place. Was it epic for Erza to get chosen? Yeah, that I can't deny. Was it an overall good choice? No, it was bad storytelling.
