Honestly, yes, I believe people will still join "rogue" RP groups if they like the people and storyline. Now, if people in a guild act like jerkfaces, then yes, that guild will probably die out. But if it's a guild that just doesn't jive with the rest of the RPC, but still has good people and good role play? You can bet people are going to join. Guilds can still recruit on forums or in game. In game recruitment is a powerful method. I actually jumped ship from one group to another because I met them in game and found that their style was more to my liking. From the perspective of my first group, Canta Per Me was the "rogue" group for not accepting their storylines, and yet I don't regret joining CPM at all. It was honestly one of the best decisions I made in my time in FFXI.
The RPC is ancillary to the enjoyment of the game. We need to realize this. Since Final Fantasy 14 is SE's sandbox and we need to be very careful about not behaving like the bullies of that sandbox. We can't rightfully weild any kind of authority, so we should focus on the benefits that our organization should offer and not even try to get involved in the individual squabbles of guilds and players. We have to be as inclusionary as possible, even when wank abounds.
