It's not about hurting yourself, and it's not about numbers, it's about attitude. And the fact that you look at it from that perspective is proof positive of your non-guild attitude. Even if I somehow tolerated a player like you in one of my guilds (which I wouldn't), any kind of leadership or responsibility within the guild would be out of the question. To be a good leader, you have to put the group first much of the time. Unless you were in a guild where everyone had your attitude, but then I wouldn't consider that a guild at all.
I look at everything analytically, which you should always want in leadership. Sure, it's nice to have sheep in a group that put the guild before themselves, but true critical thinkers would be min-maxing and progressing so much more than those who care more about the guilds strength than their own (and, thus, aren't maximizing their city's potential). If you are on Y, ask anyone in my guild of their opinion of me. I think you'd find we would get along very well.
