Zeitgeist of bread.
Where did I say "guilds just try to control people" or "only one allowed", now it is late but I don't remember saying that, feel free to post the link.
Anyone can "play their way" within what the game provides, if you missed it look in the solo vs open vs group thread, page 1 posts 1,2 & 3 might help, 3 is quite long but its worth it.
Guess what!, the game I bought didn't have guilds in it, and said it wouldn't, I have posted links to DBOBE saying it many times now. So why should I sit by and watch whilst people try to change the game I researched before buying it, into what they want it to be because they didn't do any research?
Think the game needs to change because MMO spells "guild" to you? I think not, I didn't make a mistake, I have been happy with my purchase for 13 months, if you are not you need to look closer to home!

Put it on max size & watch his face, you will see why I am not concerned.
No, it's not like that at all. A video game doesn't need guilds, but a samich needs bread. Why would a shop lasting 30 years suddenly lose business because you ordered there? There was a conscience decision not to include a guild mechanic. It's exclusion wasn't a mistake. Maybe Elites customers like to bring their own bread.
If you can't create a convincing enough argument to convince this very small audience, why should FD listen?
Quite so. Gamers are well known for their patience and restraint.
My apologies - being Guild Leader for Drunks of Sol and attending to the tenets of our faith - I missed that one <hic>
So it's basically thus:

Someone needs to make and patent this quick sharp!, there is money to be made here I am sure, I am surprised someone didn't think of it > 15 years ago, using the internet to communicate, that's radical thinking, it really needs some peer reviews, but I think you are onto something.
23:29 he also says that they are looking at adding player owned shops/stations, done right 'in time'. Something that he wants to happen.
We are trying to safeguard against that 'other' type. If you know it will happen, why not take steps to stop it beforehand? A Comm's Only approach would ensure those 'other' types don't have the power to degrade play.
Player owned shops? That has definite possibilities! Who wants to buy themselves one of those mobile kitchen things and set up as a mobile food place? You'd make an absolute fortune selling kebabs to inebriated Drunks of Sol leaving station bars
And another fortune selling bacon sandwiches to them the next morning as they stagger to their ships

Don't give them ideas, next thing we will have a fatigue meter and if we don't rest, don't eat our hull integrity will decrease ......
I have a Ventrilo server and have a hotkey for PTT (push to talk) and I don't have to alt tab out of game to use it so I personally don't think guilds are necessary
You avoided the issue by saying you're guild is not like that(which is great that your guild is not a bad one), you also offered no counter argument to my other point either. 100 good guild's can make a game fun, 1 bad guild can kill a game.

Only if they have to bring their own bread!

Of course it is fear based, because most of us have experienced bad guilds and don't want them here. I posted a list of things that the guilds would want to introduce - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=166180&page=90 - never even got a bite so either I have no idea what I am talking about or I was too close to the truth for some.

Anyway, this is all a moot point isn't it, hasn't it been established that you don't want guilds, you want better communication tools (or has the goal posts changed yet again)
Don't be silly. Guild leaders get their flunkies to obtain bread, and indeed go and fetch the bacon sandwiches, and indeed pay for them too! Otherwise they are demoted to Dung Shoveller and cant even kick n00bs out
Did you maen this?! All you said is "I'm fine with playing russian roulete with ED" in a more drawn out way!
