Very few guilds will just simply give you their gear to borrow. It takes time to build up respect and trust within the guild, and if you're coming into it expecting to leave soon then I think many people would be wary to loan you their "godly" gear. You've got 40k+, can't you afford to buy your own gear? It's not like having super godly gear is necessary for playing the game
Also, most guilds have realized that paying for guild points is like paying for sex (basically, it's just a lot better when it's earned rather than bought), though there are still a few who do it. It is actually looked down upon by some players in the LS community, but not so much to the players receiving the fg but rather those guilds in general. Though it is a good way for someone who is broke to make some fg to upgrade their gear

(but I'm not exactly sure if that applies here).
I'm not trying to sound like a dick or anything - but don't think that just because you're an 05 with some fg you can get a free personal rank with powers + godly gear from whichever guild you like.
You're welcome to check out my guild, but after what I just said I doubt that you'll want to

but I promise that we're nice and helpful people. We don't have lots of great gear or mass fg to throw around like the other guilds though, but I think that the people matter more than the pixels

anyways, good luck finding a good guild for you.
I understand your point of view..
however, i currently have 50,000 fg worth of LS items in my vault, and furthermore, I would be willing to put down an FG deposit on any items i may borrow if required...
I have handled over 1,000,000 (of other peoples FG) within the last 6 months inside the poker subforum alone
and that is just some history for the last 1/2 of year, want to hear about the 4 years prior to that? maybe ask some old timers from east, as well as many retired mods..
