Ranks
The Wayfarers Guild, as most guilds do, has a complex ranking system within the guild. This rank system is designed to help new members know who to ask for help and support, as well as to recognize the accomplishments of established members.

Promotions are based on several key factors: Maturity, loyalty, participation, helpfulness, and overall friendliness. The ranks are not intended to make others feel less important, as everyone has the opportunity to rise among the ranks as they feel comfortable. And every member, from Candidate to Guild Master, is highly valued and respected.

Here is the current rank structure (all ranks keep the benefits of the ranks below as they are promoted up):

Hireling - New members. Probationary rank with limited access to the forums and guild bank.
 * Cannot have alts added to the guild. We need the time to get to know you better!
 * Candidates can be removed from the guild at a Specialist or the Guild Master's discretion, or on the vote of two or more officers, with no due process required.

Associate (Main) / Freelancer (Alt) - Full Members. To become a full member, one must have been in the guild for no less than one month (30 days) and made their intentions known that they are ready to be promoted. Once they are ready, a poll will be placed in the Promotions Forum and Officers will vote on the promotion status of the individual, considering closely their activity within the guild and interactions with members. After the vote, the officers will discuss the results with the member and promote them as decided. (The voting process can take up to two weeks once initiated.)
 * Can have alts added to the guild at Freelancer rank.
 * Gains access to Members Only areas of the forums and website.
 * Ability to access the in-game guild bank.

Professional - Senior members. A Professional is a veteran member who has proven themselves loyal within the guild. This is a member who regularly attends events, is especially helpful to other members, and who represents everything that is good about the guild. This rank is a reward for service to the guild and will be decided by the Officer Core.

Consultant - Highly Honored Members. The Consultant rank is reserved for Professionals who have been with the guild for a period of 6 months or greater, and have continued to prove themselves invaluable members of the guild.
