Regarding Guild only servers, the suggestion is out there for Disney to consider, I dont think anyone is "against" it, just some are being more realistic in their expectations.
If at all possible, they might offer a "Guild Server" for an additional fee to cover the exclusive hardware costs and bandwidth, there are too many guilds to consider such an offering for free.
As far as hosting a volume of servers, the idea of virtual servers would allow multiple 'servers' per system. It would require a system that normally runs the environment once, to load it multiple times, once for each guild it hosts, dividing its resources among them. This would likely result in far worse equipment/hardware related lag than we see today. Remember ALL the servers share the same internet connectivity, so net lag will not change at all.
As far as any Rep, Gold, any bonus's being granted to Guilds, I dont think there should be any bonus's for guilds. The advantages of being a guild are already what they are. Guild management options are in big need, lets see some of work in that area!
My suggestion would be to improve PvP so active guilds into regular competition can test thier skills against each other, build regular 'crew' rosters, and have tournaments, etc. Continue to provide stats on XD, this already offers guild vs guild stats from an overall game perspective.
Im just a cranky ole pirate, spillin his thoughts on deck again...
Happy Piratin Matey's!
