I also agree with the statement that just because a group putting in more effort gets EXTRA items doesn't mean that others (who don't meet the qualifications) are being penalised. Especially since anyone can -choose- to be in a guild and put in the effort.
Heck, I can't afford a Lambrogheni which has a rather speedy RL 'runspeed' but I don't complain that it needs to be made available to someone who makes minimum wage flipping burgers at the local McDonalds.
Unless you play 6 accounts, being in a guild is not solely the choice of the individual, but requires others to allow that person to join or at least to assist in forming the guild. That individual 'choices' rely on the consent of others is something that seems cosnistently overlooked. I cannot simply choose to be in a guild, a gorup, a raid or any other voluntary player association - I can choose to try and gain membership in one of these associations, but the choice of actually being allowed in is not mine.
As for the Lambrogheni, would you think it fair if not only did you have to have the money, but you also had to be a member of a Lambrogheni Buyers Club, and if you weren't a member of this club, you couldn't get one no matter how much mony you have?
But to afford the lamborghini you need a sizable income. Aside from inheriting that, you need to either run your own business which involves getting a bunch of people together to work for or with you, or you need to become the leader in a business. How is that any different than needed to be in a guild to earn the resources to afford something in game?
