I worded that wrong. I didn't mean to call anybody greedy, Migo. I meant, if you are helping other people for your own personal benefit, isn't that morally wrong? Meh, maybe I look too much into it and hold people to an unattainable standard.

My thoughts...
1: Be yourself!
2: Have fun!
3: Treat others with the respect and kindness you want to receive!
4: If you get a shield, cool
5: If you don't get a shield, no biggie! At least you have 1-3! What more can you ask for?
Just playing devil's advocate here...
Would helping someone be for your own benefit anyway regardless of what your motives are? Obviously if you help someone hoping for personal gain, that's not selfless. You could go as far as to helping someone is not selfless since you're getting something out of it (feel-good feeling). Gotta love philosophy!
Philosopher! I don't know that anybody does anything for purely selfless reasons, so I guess we could now philosophize on whether or not the Truly Selfless Person (tm) even exists. I think doing it solely because you know it's the Right Thing to Do (tm) and that it makes you feel good to do the RTtD, is about as close to selfless as you can get. Since we're dealing with philosophy, YMMV, of course.

The way things are going, I am afraid that the Guardian status may not have been the success that devs have hoped for. It has triggered jealousy and people with selfish motives. Certainly, there are people who deserve recognition, but we're seeing people who aspire for the GoA as an end into itself ...

Hmmm... to me it sounds like most guardians or other people think that other people that are attempting to become a guardian, are only doing it for the shield and that doing things to become a guardian are wrong which in my case would be hosting contest. This somewhat offends me bc there are many other reasons to want to become a guardian other than having the darn shield. Also I am sure that other guardians that were not among the first group were doing things in mind that they would become a gaurdian. Am I right?
lol this is just a game thats why I stopped trying but still people should lighten up and stop judging people for trying
My advice: Forget the shield and just play the game and have fun...cuz having fun is the reason why we play video games right? You shouldnt have to have a incentive to be a nice and helpful person...Anyways just my 28 cents
