wow, i really do agree with al of this, but!
the good part of these guilds is that they dissapear after a short time.
if you have anarchy everywhere, eventually it will become orgonized, and it will form in to something, could be \"Evil\" or could be \"good\" but it will be formed.
the thing here is, i have played a few mmorpgs and rpgs, and i noticed something, if the game just starts out, and its toal anarchy everywhere, then later on, when everything forms and it becomes civilized, the game itself starts having a background of its own, like on these boards even. (oops sorry for a super long sentence). I replyed to this one guy to help gim find more mmorpgs, and ofcourse the first thing that came to mind was runesc@pe (dont comment on it please, its just an example), well any how, and it came out as runescape i didnt know why, but it intreagued me. then i found out that there was a fuss on the boards and thats why it was sencured out.
See, if it was all made up, it wouldnt not matter, it would be like any other story that someone made up. But if it actually happens it becomes real!
whats better, a reality or a fake reality?
i mean, would you rather go bunjee jumping and then say you went bunjee jumping, or just sit at home and then tell you friends you went bunjee jumping?
i know this point is arguable, but think about it, its much better when things form themselves, and the background is not made up, but formed by time, and players themselves!
this is why i think that we should leave the \"evil\" guilds alone. though having no point but \"be evil\" kind of thing, they eventually will have a point if they survive, and if they dont, so be it!
ex:
evil guild is made
evil guild grows in numbers
people dislike it and they counteract it, or they like it and join it
this forms guidl wars, or makes a huge empire
following that a point to the guild is found, either to doinate the world for fun and just power in general, or to counteract to some other guild because of some
grudge and eliminate everyone in that guild.
once again, you can dicide for yourselves, but the reason i play mmorpgs is to see them form in to their future form, and be a part of it, that i think is the purpose of mmorpgs (in my case any way), even without guilds. As long as the game evolves, and not because the creator said so, but because of the actions taken by player themselves, thats when the game uis good, i think.
PS: i do agree that those evil guilds are pointless, but perhaps eventually they will find the point to their existance, or they will dissapear, its one or the other, things without purpose either dissapear or find their purpose, so its one or the other.
