Of course that was a while ago. So ZOS may have changed it, and I just missed the patch note.
Faction is still very much a thing in PvP. That is alliance vs alliance vs alliance.
yea but it depends on what faction is guild master logged in to, sometimes ppl want to to do cyrodiil as other faction and they can, as i get that sys, ur not locked in to 1 faction as guild and that would be annoying if u were locked to1faction cause of guild faction in other words guilds no longer have faction as i get it
its just as i get it it shouldn't matter sins u can do all factions missions all factions are opened to u, when i started u were locked to ur factions areas even after lvl 50, ur guild should depend on witch faction char u log in with if ur guild master itt will only effect other members
maybe guild settings prevented claim? there are settings what guild master allows for each rank

I'm in five guilds and often claim a keep to open a new trader for a guild. There's a drop down menu to select a guild.
You can not claim a keep/resource for a guild that does not 'own' the keep. So it's an AD keep then DC and EP based guilds can not claim it.

As @VaranisArano correctly stated above, the faction of a guild matters at the guild level, not at the character level. Your player account can have characters of all factions, and can PvP on all factions.
However, a guild's faction affects two things in Cyrodiil:
1. You cannot claim a keep or resource for your guild if it's not for that guild's faction
2. If you wear your tabard in Cyrodiil on an off-faction character, the tabard will appear white.
faction restriction is dumb sins u have chars in all factions and u with other chars wouldn't able to play cyrodiil to the fullest, they should
A ) remove it
B ) give option to 1 person to create 3 guilds
I'm against removing it. But I would be ok with guilds being able to change their faction periodically if they wish.
And you can be part of 5 guilds, so you can have one of each faction and then have 2 spares. You just can't be the leader of all of them, which is fine, since a guild should have more than one person in it.
