Doing a who on guildmembers does not work reliably.
I have a lot of guildmembers in my /friend list, and even though they aren't
anonymous, and show up when I do a /w all friend, they do not show up when I
do a /w all "<various permutations of guild>". It seems like only a maximum
of 2 different zones are listed, for some reason. Say 2 members are in
Feerroth, 2 are in Oasis, and 1 is in North Freeport. I'll get a listing
showing the 2 in Feerrott, and the 2 in Oasis, but the one in North Freeport
will not show up. I haven't done diligent testing on this, but it always
seemed like that was the case.. I'd do my /w all guild, and only people in 2
zones total would be listed. <shrug>
