My concern with the events is that every group will have different definitions for things. While behavior rules are a definate must, I personally feel that's not enough for this population. GuildA will have a different definition for godmode than GuildB. Trying to figure out which definition of godmode is in effect from event to event is going to quickly drain the fun out of everything. It's too much work for even the hardcore RPers to constantly figure out which godmode definition they have to abide by from event to event. Combat systems is another example. GuildA will handle IC conflicts differently than GuildB. These and so much more make for a lot of preliminary research before each event. That just seems like too much work for people and may only push them away from interacting with other groups entirely.
In regards to the "last hope" issue, that's just one of many examples. I personally was very offended at the phrase when I saw it. And despite the fact that neither myself nor any other member of Legacy posted a response to that drama thread, we still somehow came out looking like the bad guys. I say this because I recall people making comments on there saying "if I were to join a RP guild, I'd definately go with Crystalline or HopesRequiem." Considering the scenario, I was appalled that Legacy somehow became the bad guy and HR became the good guys to the general public. I guess those wounds have yet to heal fully so I'm a bit wary of something like that happening again.
And yes, gil was already confirmed to be the monetary system for FF14 xD
