Yes, yes... that was a compilation of posts in a thread on a message board. I could sit down and write out the entire idea, and check it closely for spelling and grammatical errors, but why waste my time for folks that haven't proven themselves receptive to the idea?
I'm using the word "guild" because it's accessible, so I don't really care if you have a preconceived idea of what I'm talking about based on a "500 year old" definition of a placeholder name. That's kinda your problem, if you choose to have one.
It's funny, though, to watch you assume you could instantly poke more holes in an idea that's been floating around in the back of my head for a few years now than those I've already poked myself. Gee, I never thought of casually dismissing it and laughing at myself for being stupid before! The spelling errors should have tipped me off! Thanks!
Here's another funny part: You seem to think there's no way to avoid a "guild," as I'm using the term, turning into a cartel, which is what you're thinking of... yet you think regulations can keep corporations from fucking over society when you are so obviously wrong. Look around you.
There are perfectly valid arguments against the idea. You haven't even started looking for them yet.
