I'm very puzzled at the skepticism about not having a GM there. There are obvious gray areas and holes in the current ruleset, they dont universally apply to each encounter. We all want things more black and white. The format is an officer and the guild leader from each guild attending. If people cant be respectful to one another then they frankly dont need to be there. None of us have the authority to "change" the rules. My understanding of the outcome would be we would supply Dev staff with the notes and let the Devs tweak the rules from there or do what they please. Obviously any rule we unanimously agree on has a better chance at getting changed then something that we are all split or torn on.
My point here is that we all want content developed faster and better. The GMs have all said they dont care about guild drama and they encourage player decisions and agreements....so let the GMs develop. There is no reason why we cannot be respectful to one another. For the people who doubt that still...try sending a tell and communicating with the people who would be in this meeting, I think you will be surprised.
