Kaly, let's be honest here. Do you truly believe folks in the game will align their guilds for roleplay and RP events if they can get a big gameplay advantage by not doing so? I'm all for roleplay, but I think it should be supported by gameplay, not go against it.
Don't get me wrong though, I do admit that neutral guilds as it is, have nothing going for them. I wouldn't mind if they had some perks and stuff (see Moonie's thread for an example), but not something that would just totally tip the balance to the other side and make aligned guilds obsolete gameplay wise.
In the end the majority will follow gameplay advantages, not RP, so might as well tailor the gameplay to how you want folks to behave according to lore.
