I don't like the idea of trying to force players to stay in your guild. If it's better for them to join a different guild then they shouldn't be penalized for leaving, which is basically what this amounts to. And what happens if a guild leader kicks players from a guild? It would make all those complaints even worse.
There is a reason why most games don't try stuff like this. It sounds good in theory, but it's different when you dive into the effects and how it makes players feel when they have to deal with it.
I only really see two options for guilds. One option is to increase interaction between members in the guild, for instance you could give everyone an exp and gold boost for partying with guild members. This way guilds become more than just what building bonuses they give. The other option is to make guilds insignificant for overall game play, basically by reducing the effects that buildings have on guilds so that it makes very little difference which guild you are in.
