Most of the current GoA's were helpful and friendly long before guardians were developed. I look at a few GoA's, and wannabe GoA's now and see some of them aren't even really playing anymore, don't help more than anyone else does, sometimes even bash STS games for lack of this, or too much that... It's feeling like a popularity contest and it's discouraging to the people that enjoy helping others just for the simple fact they wished they had that same help when they were starting out.
I can tell you right now I've logged 100's maybe 1000's of hours on Pl, Sl, and forums, and I should be filthy rich but I'm broke as a joke from helping people buy gear, stims, pots, elixirs, etc, and I have 4000(!) deaths over 40k kills due to tirelessly running newbies thru dungeons and teaching them about their class and how to combo and tank etc.. and never once did it for the shield. I plan to keep it that way too. Mark my words, never ever hand me that shield, devs, I'd rather be known for doing it out of the goodness of my heart.
Current GoA's, keep up the good work, alot of you did this with no reward planned. It's like our guild in SL, it was easy to elect the first 10 officers, after that its hard to tell who's doing it for the rank, or because they want to.
