 * Lust
 * An emotion or feeling of intense desire in the body. The lust can take any form such as the lust for knowledge, the lust for sex or the lust for power. It can take such mundane forms as the lust for food as distinct from the need for food.

While a strong feeling, it is not intrinsically evil until it crosses certain extremes which then places it alongside Greed and Gluttony.

What Glory/Gaia desired was to keep her property in her family's control, which is a laudable desire. But it was NOT being taken away from her. She lost it by failing to uphold her part of the business deal with Filthy Rich. Which does not automatically make him the Bad Guy.

But that doesn't make her goals wrong. She, like Sunset and Twilight, was overwhelmed by magic and temporarily lost control. But even then her actions were to close off the camp to protect it from outsiders.

Again, part of 6.4 is how long they are evil and the degree to which they are while under possession. Gloriosa Daisy was Gaia Everfree for what? Five to maybe ten minutes? And upon reverting to normal she was distraught and ashamed at how overboard she had gone as Gaia.

This is in contrast to Luna, who was Nightmare Moon for 1000 years before being freed. There is even the possibility that "Nightmare" was a separate entity, although not so far expressly stated in canon. It took her a while as Luna to prove she was no longer Evil. Which is also likened to Discord, whose reputation outside of Ponyville and the main six's circle is still distrusted. Or Tirek, who is still unredeemedly Evil.

Glory/Gaia was nowhere as bad.

I also repeat: At this point this is my lone assessment.
