Government Run Nodes (GUILD?)
So I am wondering who decides who gets to run the node at the top, levy taxes, put fellow citizens in prison/the stocks for committing a crime?
I don't think it is fair for nodes to be run solely by guilds, because only the strongest/biggest guilds will have a chance to be the Governor/King. And then they will just fill all the cabinet positions and high rankings positions of governmental of the node to their guildies. And that will lead to corruption, revoking people's citizenships even though they have been there since a level 1 node.
There needs to be a way that allows everyone an equal chance at becoming the leader of a level 6 node,not just guilds because you are going to have people who don't want to join guilds but to play solo, and just own a freehold near the node.
Also there are going to be multiple guilds within a city (Guild Halls) and they will all be vying for leadership in government, that is bound for conflict within our city walls. We don't need chaos with our city, we already have to deal with invasions from other x level nodes.

This is a little snippet from Node Series - Part 2 blog ^^
You can follow the blog series from here https://www.ashesofcreation.com/blog/
As you can see the node governments are formed differently depending on the node type.
I feel like you are see guilds as a entity and ignoring what they are. They are groups of organized players. Everyone has the same chances but the people who work together will have an advantage which I think is deserved in a MMO.
It's on you to control the chaos in your city. If guilds in a node are fighting then it could weaken the node which could cause it to die, as it should. The people who work together the best will be the ones on top.
Anyone know anything like that in the works?
like the truth...
