Someone who never held a sword before in thier life, can go to the GLA guild and learn the basics. As they get higher level, they are charged with more responsibility and killing bigger and badder beasts. Think about us when we join another guild at 10.


Let's say we're GLA level 10, we know the basics of swordplay. We decide to go to the LNC guild in Grid without having lifted up a spear our entire lives. They LNC guild trains us first the basics (more bug killing) then as we get experience, we train against harder foes. To expect you have skill in a guild to be able to join is a Catch 22. How are we supposed to be trained when the trainers only accept trained individuals?

To go with the real world military analogy, civvies join the military and the military trains them on how to use their weapon. Volunteers probably have never fired a gun before, but the military still accepts them even though they have no skill. It's the military's job to train them.
