Ironically this is part of the next stage, but not with rshares as much as another type of shares that enables each guild to specialize more, but also give the ability to back the value of guild tokens with steempower. Though with that said, these guild tokens could be like micro versions of rshares

So no it is not an intermediate stage if by intermediate you mean this step will be unnecessary with the rshares market. The rshares market from what I have read will be cool, but will do very little for enabling people to work together as guilds of content creators and curators to work together to earn stake in a website.

I think people really need to recognize the power of being able to do something like, for instance, making a site like this for something like wikileaks and giving wiki tokens to guildies who pay a monthly subscription and create/curate/share content.

Is this project arhags? If so I need to talk to him a little bit.

P.S. Guilds are better than good. They are GREAT. Though I see the value in rshares, I see them as a general solution not really rewarding specialization and cooperation like guilds can. And when they have a website and their own tokens, it makes it so we can share steem based content much more easily.

We definitely don't need any "one-size-fits-all" solutions, guilds and rs-market can go together)
The meaning for intermediate was, it looks to me that people have to get accustomed to guilds first, after that they might start to realize what rs-market is good for.
(You can see that the idea of rs-market isn't new, but initially it went completely unnoticed)
Similarly I can remember that just a few months ago the idea of guilds was not much appreciated.
Everybody was celebrating a "no-middlemen" platform, the idea how it's supposed to work is very well described in this meme https://steemit.com/steem-meme/@ibringawareness/steem-meme-how-steemit-works-any-questions

It's great that now guilds are starting to establish.

However for me ( now I'll start to exaggerate, but that's just to be more clear ) guilds have a tendency to be to slow and to bureaucratic.
You start to establish a guild with one purpose, by the time it is established the original issue might be not so topical anymore....but that of course would hardly result in dissolving of the guild, instead we might rather expect some uncontrollable growth just for the case of growing.

Solutions rs-market could provide would aloud more flexible and fast development than guilds alone.

Agreed. I see them as beneficialin their own ways. Like the idea too :)
