I'm in a quandry. My main has been in 3 different guilds, the first two basically withered away from under me, and the latest is large and active, but for whatever reason I cannot get a group or help with anything from them. I ask all the time, no response. Most of the activity occurs within a core group of long term members at levels 65 - 70.
I joined another large guild with one of my alts to test the waters, and it's like night and day. They plan activities all the time for all levels, they have dozens of people online all the time, they're very friendly, they stock free crafting raws for members, even rares. etc. etc. etc.
So, I would like to move my main, but I might have a problem. I own a 3 room house apartment in SQ. It only requires guild level 20, and the new guild is level 30, so no problem there, I guess. Are there any other gotchas I need to be aware of? Secondly, am I a traitor?

I can't tell you if there are anymore "gotchas", but I can tell you that you are not a traitor. There is of course a lot of value and something to be said for guild loyalty. I personally love my current guild, but it took me 3 guilds prior until I found this one. Just my opinion, but this is a game and you play it to have fun. If you are like me and want to be part of a guild to group with consistent people that you truly like and can form friendships with, then it only makes sense to search until you find what you are looking for. That unfortunately means that you may need to join up and leave some people and places in the process.
Now, I definitely don't support the situations where people leave their guild and go out and actively "advertise" the fact so that half the current guild leaves with them. I know you will have some people leave in groups, particularly if you have developled close friendships, but if you're truly in it to find a new "home away from home" and a good guild to committ to, then no worries. Your guild should support the choices that you need to make to enjoy the game. Just my 2cp...

I guess the question on my house is, what happens during the time I'm between guilds, short as it will be. I have storage crates and sales containers full of stuff in my house slots. I don't lose that stuff because the house requires guild level 20, do I? Has anyone experienced this?
I absolutely agree on discretion. I plan to quietly de-guild and there will be no drama or badmouthing of the guild I'm leaving. It just didn't work out.

I believe that only the purchase of the house required you to be in a lvl 20 guild. Once you bought it that was it. the only problem I can see would be if you didn't have enough status banked to continue with the status upkeep while you were in transition.
The number of sales slots are tied to the house not the guild and the house is yours not the guilds. It was just membership in the guild that enabled you to make the initial purchase.
Regarding leaving the guild... no, I don't think it makes you a traitor or a bad person. Especially since I'm sure you gave much more than you took from both the guild and the people in it. Situations change. If you aren't happy then you should move on.

That makes sense that it only matters when you purchase, except people can join a guild just to buy a house and then leave. Or a horse.

And some people do.
