What might also be good is add a new class of guilds.
Say, "Fellowships". The formal guilds could be loaded with management
functions. Fellowships would more like informal bodies of people who
wish to help each other out, but don't need lots of management tools
and don't want to have to fulfill raid obligations and such. Just a
name to identify with, and guildchat and such.
