I agree that guilds as a general rule do not defend each other as in the past, but there are a few that do still hold defending mates as a virtue. Individual choices we all make, such as the choice to bounty or not, the choice to set up delevel parties or not to, the choice to only level or to only PVP or to do whatever it is we choose to do ... THAT is a blessing. We are all FREE to make CHOICES. Now, we must live with the consequences of the choices we make. A choice or it's consequence doesn't in itself make something "right" or "wrong", but every action does have a reaction and every non-action has its own reaction. The fact that we might not get the reaction we desire on making our choice is simply the way life is. I would like to eat steak with carbs 24/7 and have my body look like my old LuxFerre avatar ... but ... ain't gonna happen. This is life and it's order. We are blessed to be able to make the choices we make and we need not blame the system, but instead make our choices in accordance with our own value systems. What one could do, if one CHOOSES, is to align oneself with others that share the same or have similar value systems.
I agree.
