Whats best for the guild should also be whats best for yourself, too often people see it as a choice between the two.

IMO the only reason to join a guild is because of the benefit to yourself, I dont see it as self sacrifice to a collective, but rather individuals coming together to create value. While there needs to be order and discipline to this congregation when it comes to getting things done, I think it important to be mindfull that other people dont and shouldnt play for our sake.
