Being in the same time zone does not mean that everyone can be online at the same time, and as mentioned above, anima use puts a stop to being in the same place whenever it's convenient.

So being in the same place, at the same time, is fairly difficult for the average player. If everyone had a group that played everyday at the same time, all the time, then there would be no purpose for a guild at all.

The purpose of guilds are to make it easier for players to support one another, in spite of time availabilities, and in game locations. That is why a guild bank system would be a great addition to FFXIV.
