I think his gripe was that your guild doesn't leave any
dragons alive long enough for others to kill them. Dunno if
that's actually the case. But sharing means sharing with
others who want what you're sharing, not just sharing with
your friends.

What I've seen done is for the multi-guild coordinated party
to take over the /ooc or /auction channel and use that for
coordination in lieu of /guildsay. (/shout too, but that can
get annoying for others in the zone.)
