I've been in the same guild for about 5 years now(joined in D2 actually) quite simply because I loved the vision of it and the leader was a good friend. Or at least he was. About 4 months into it he had an accident and I've never really been able to talk to him the same way since because of his attitude it seems.
I've met quite a lot of friends over my years of playing, but most of them weren't through my guild. The majority of my friends online belong to my buddy list and even my one friend who works 10 hours a day tries to get on and set up his shop every day and try to get an hour of training in when he can. To me, that says "he's trying more than he needs to" since most of my guild now seems more caught up in drama and random crap than playing games anymore.
Most people like me do it for friends, because a guild is supposed to be a meeting place for people to chat and work together. When it's not that, you leave. The main idea is to have fun. It's the entire point of playing a game. Your on the internet, not in school or prison ;D
