This issue hasn't really been brought up in my guild since most folks just use the swap threads for donations. What I've said is purely of my thoughts on what swap threads are.This is a perfect, exact opinion the portion of the guild who feels this way described down to the very wording. Is this an issue you and your guild have discussed?
I can understand helping them find power levelers but unfortunately that doesn't help the portion of the guild who want to be on the receiving end of the donations. Sending people outside of the guild to donate is viewed akin to taking free points away from them. If they weren't a member they could get donations- if they are a member they can't.
Unfortunately, like you've said, it will be the GB owner receiving the free FP who will be losing out the most with my suggestions, but my idea of running a guild is to make as many guild members' experiences in the game more enjoyable, and of course you cannot satisfy everyone. However, I think my idea of finding the print-hungry guildmate some powerleveling friends so he could get cheap prints, and ensuring that the swap members never get angry over these "snipes" makes more people happy and creates a more cohesive guild than having a free-for-all where the GB owner is happy with the free points, but the swap members are not happy, and the "sniper" blows through 270 FP just to get BPs that he/she already has.
