We're paying $15 USD a month to play a game, and if having that uber weapon or uber armor the very second you have a shot at it is fun to you, then who am I to judge? I'll help them if I'm in the mood. I have no problems doing the Whirlwind (Weapon) quest for my guildies, because I remember how much of a difference that weapon made for me. I was unable to get it until Lv.41, eleven levels AFTER I acquired the quest, and by which point the quest was green, because the absurd difficulty in soloing those damnable elementals for charms that didn't drop very often. By Lv.41, the Whirlwind Warhammer was merely okay for my level (and it was soon replaced), but at Lv.30, it's a downright godsend.
Maybe your guildies find slowly grinding enjoyable, but I don't, and that's why I help guildies whenever possible :)

What you do in your guild is your business. I think it's cheesy for a lvl 30 to have a weapon you have to kill all that lvl 38-40 stuff for, but, I'm not at all surprised, Artega. You're always for the most efficient way. It's only about half a step from justifying the WW weapon on a 30, to justify buying gold on the 'net so you can have that purple you wanted, too.
As far as instances, yeah, I'll MT an instance, overleveled, for guildies. I'm the safety valve for them, and they can screw up to some extent and live through it. However, they'll be level-appropriate for it, I'll be the one whose level is off, so they're not going early, I'm going late.
