Sure, I'll read your posts if you promise to read mine as well

. I've stated that initially there will be a rush of WoE guilds that will be created...but eventually the "weaker" ones will die off and the people in those guilds will spread out into the guilds that have become well established.
Level 17 in two weeks...if you mean 2 solid weeks of time(as in 24 hours a day)...then yeah...of course that is very possible. However, if your talking about actual playing time...that isn't really the case anymore. Not sure about you, but many people have other priorities to deal with as well, i.e. school, work, etc.; doubt most can afford to play 5+ hours a day.
Also, if your still trying to level your guild, why are you so against this?! Wouldn't it help you as well?
