How about using an api-key to make sure that homins with just the right fame are welcomed to an event to overcome the nuisance to've to deal with finding out about ones past history and political standing, out of convenience... would we that count as metagaming too?
As for the actual opening post: I'll assume you wear your guilds badge somewhere on your clothes/armour, yet I'll not assume knowing your name or past history with the exception of maybe rumours that had word going around, but those are just that, if at all,... rumours.
It's, quite franky, mostly a problem with roleplayers pretending to be good at what they do because they're following the mainstream-common without further own expenses in finding out more about a specific character, in-character.
Then again, especially when it comes to PvP-elements of the game, people tend to see a member of a guild attacking them and therefor assume all members of that guild to be the same, when inRP they might not even knew who just turned the bark over their heads. It goes both ways here to be honest, those attacking others like to hide behind the weirdest roleplay-reasons too but expect to be treated fairly in return. It's hard to say when someone saw PvP as an inRP action or just an ooc one.
