This stuck out at me in our latest guild announcement:
"We are currently trying to align this guild back with its original goal: To be HEARD. To bring about CHANGE. This means we will have less events and frilly things because that's not what we're here for. We all joined this guild to make a difference, and we will be getting back to that!"
It's not that I disagree, after all a guild must keep on message. However, I thought this guild was also about being the change it wanted to see, which was how I interpreted the contests and various so-called frilly things. Just a thought here, but if members who are more well off donate good items we can give them to other members in need, things like that. It's just an idea that's been rolling around in the back of my head for a while - after all I think Gaia's done a pretty good job of shutting us out. If Gaia wanted to listen to us, they could open the floodgates at any time, but they haven't yet. I'd hate to see people perpetually waiting and meanwhile losing hope.
We don't have their attention yet, but we do have each other. Personally that's what I'd rather put my time into, reaching out because Gaia just plain old isn't anymore. I'd be willing to help those who need more items to play with...anyone have thoughts / ideas / opinions on the matter?
