We could start one. Consider a guild, perhaps of bards or perhaps allowing
other classes, whose primary purpose is to help one another and others.
That doesn't mean you can't run a business at a reasonable profit, but
members of the guild should be known for acts of generosity and kindness
rather than arrogance and self serving. No reflection on other guilds
intended.
The idea would be that anyone seeing the name of that guild would know the
bearer could be trusted implicitly and appealed to for possible help. I'd
like to see it allow worthies of other classes and any race, but maintain a
flavor of bardic oversight and origination. It should have relatively
independent chapters on all servers where people of good will wanted to
join. The only membership fee is a pledge, well-kept, to good will and
honorable behavior.
We could name it, say, "Song of <something>" like Harmony, Service, Aid,
or such. I like "Song of Service." If you're in trouble, call out SoS. :-)}
