I thought it was 'cause it's fun and free, and not so much for such "deep" reasons.

Proved how?
Guilds are usually formed by having something in common. For example, Mexican guilds are formed more from the fact that people can freely use spanish and mexican slang in their guildchat, moreso than because they're actually thinking that they only want Mexican members. As long as you speak their language and don't make stupid comments, you're ok with them, which is the same we have to say for guilds by country, sex or cultural group. Plenty of anime and music-based guilds out there, you don't see anyone complaining about that. If someone wants to make a German-only, Black-only or BR-only guild, they can do it, and probably have already done so. they do it because they have more stuff they can relate with, not necessarily because they hate people outside of their group. It's common sense and I see no problem with it.
Nobody would be separating HeRO into anything it's not already separated on. Seeing as people have different opinions preferences and nationalities, RO is pretty much a free place where anything goes, provided it doesn't break rules. Again, I see nothing wrong in that. RO ignores races, but not it's concept. Users will always belong to different races and nationalities, and of course bonds will be made or shattered by those influences. It's undeniable fact.
As for update priorities, nobody said it was important. We're saying it'd be cool. The only concern I've heard about this from the GMs, was that the files will add the weight of the game, client, etc. Nothing has been mentioned to me about bugs. I'm guessing that if the work is done and the users don't mind the game's file size increasing, it would be plausible to expect the colors being implemented. As I said before, in the end it's the GM's decision. We can let our voices be heard, but they're the ones in charge. I should have mentioned it before, but I'm not here to extend this discussion any further. I'm just typing all this because it looks better than saying "I don't agree with you, Cheesecake." without stating why.
