I spoke with eleuthria and the local math wizard organofcorti and they both confirmed there is no easy way to precisely confirm the pool luck, which is a deal braker for me.
Switch to PPS and you don't have to deal with luck. Period.
(My preferred way is to put 3/4 workers on PPLNS and 1/4 workers on PPS)
Would you pay 8 BTC for 2 months of mining? I know I would not, because no part of the service provides value worth $6000 at the current exchange rates.
I am currently paying 1% and if you ask me even that is too much.
Maybe you should be solo mining instead of complaining?

I am not complaining, but expressing my point of view.
I would be complaining if I had no choice, which is not the case here

And don't get me wrong: BTCGuild is a nice pool with good features and design. I would be most definitely mining here if it wasn't for the high fees, which in my opinion are completely unjustified.
And I fully understand the owner: why change something that is working and is making you a s**t load of money

Just make sure you don't turn into another DeepBit: it was once the #1 pool and it even managed to go beyond 50% network share at one point, but look where it is now.
Is Btcguild still the largest pool or ghash now is on pair ?
No, Ghash is the biggest. Atm 3.66PH/s vs 2.7PH/s which makes sense as Ghash.io is free + you merge mine 3 alt coins there.
