is it true? if yes: why? if because of the number of the guildcreations: why does it annoy you?
It is obaviously annoying for several reasons:
1) Thge large number of guilds created by completely uninformed people. These are most often completely OOC and don\'t even fit the setting.
2) The large number of guilds that die within a few days. These mostly are like the above, but also can be founded by people who got informed on the game but not on what it takes (and means) to have a guild. The fee would serve a sintroductionary example. If they manage to get the money, this means that they at least have
some dedication.
3) It\'s not realistic that almost everyone is in a guild AFAIK. Also, the high number of guilds is not really realistic.

Yes. You don\'t just found some big organization IRL, too. It does take money, administrative work (possibly inclusing fees), a base of operation, etc.. This all costs money and work, something that isn\'t reflected in the simply way to create a guild in PS.
So the way it IMO
should go is that a would-be guild forms informally due to whatever reasons, and eventually decide to pony up the necessary fee. Once they officially founded the guild by paing the fee, they can obviously set the policy for joining. Some may require a mandatory fee, some ask for something based on the chars possessions, some may ask for donations, some not at all or non-monetary things.
When someone wants to join a guild, they usually should have good reasons to do so, and these would usually provide sufficient incentive to help out. If not, the potential member would not really be of benefit to the guild, anyway.
I, too, don\'t like recurring fees, but it would be at the guilds discretion IMO.
As for how many wipes there will be... several, I\'d say, but they probably will be years apart AFAICS.
