I loved the idea but I don’t feel safe to say I have enough knowledge to share with my fellow thief friends, so I decided to apply as a student.

This is a superb idea, I want to join to learn, but the mere idea of having the guild tag next to my name would eventually be a sign of prestige of sorts, I would think. As if people reading your name and the tag would trust that this is a good thief or at least one that is in the proper process of learning if the movement get famous enough)

- What class(es) do you play as your secondary/tertiary: Guardian (I don’t really care for it much, I’ve come to realize thief is the only class I want to play)
- Are you applying as a teacher, or a student: Student
I’m still somewhat confused though, in what server would this be happening? (I’d imagine a chapter in each server that has enough interested people, please clarify)

- Would you consider yourself a good contributor to your community: You tell me.
- Are you friendly/helpful: I suppose I am, otherwise I wouldn’t be here.
- Would you be willing to prove your skill/knowledge ingame: No problem. I already made one video long time ago (CLICK) and I improved a lot. I’m currently making another one, showing the little mods I made to the first video’s build. Another interesting video could be THIS, from 2.35 to 4.20.

That segment was not only great to watch, it was really funny (captions). Really good play!

Contribute much?: I have helped out other thieves with various tips on how to do better, but by no means do I consider myself the best or top league, which is why I am for a student
Friendly?: Of course
Willing to prove myself?: Of course always willing to get better and to keep track of my progress

I’d love to really get to know this class inside and out!
I’m worried that this will become something of an “exclusive” that creates elitist attitude more than a genuine school for those who wish to learn. I’m the former class lead of Team Legacy and part of me would love to do this, but the rest of me says that it’ll only make me look like an ego-driven kitten. Sorry TheMighty, but I think I’ll have to pass on this one.

This is an excellent idea!
In game name: Melder
What class(es) do you play as your secondary/tertiary: Mesmer, Guardian
Are you applying as a teacher, or a student: Teacher
How many hours on your class do you have: About 800 hours
How many builds have you theory crafted: Have no idea how many, but it’s quite a few. I don’t theory craft as in putting numbers together, I know what I’m after and then I build around that. I try out all my builds and find something that I’m comfortable with. So far it have worked out pretty good for me.
Would you consider yourself a good contributor to your community: Yes. I alway try to have a good discussion and try to contribute where I can. I’m often in the forums helping players with builds and tips, sometimes even in other profession forums to teach them how to fight a thief.
Are you friendly/helpful: I always try to be at my best.
Would you be willing to prove your skill/knowledge ingame: Any time.
Mighty: I just realized that since there are people like Geiir applying, and, of course, I still have interest in the guild myself (never got an invi though :c), and that, furthermore, Team Akatsuki is an all-thief team that both Geiir and I are on, I figured that we could basically make Akatsuki members teachers for this guild. That way, we’re pairing students with an established team that knows practically everything thief, and, furthermore, we have a clearer post-“academic” route for applicants to go through, if they wish.
In game name: Nox Intempesta
What class(es) do you play as your secondary/tertiary: Engi, Necro and Mesmer
Are you applying as a teacher, or a student: I would actually like to do both, I beilieve I am a good thief yet I am willing to improve myself and learn what others can teach me
How many hours on your class do you have: 450~
How many builds have you theory crafted: I created four “originals” builds, meaning without basing them on builds already existing,and tried at least twenty different ones, I’ve mastered, d/p and s/p, I’m good with s/d and d/d and in general venomshare builds but i lack in condition damage builds like p/d and p/p.
In general I think I could be one of the few the uses thief in PvE dungeons so that could be interesting
Would you consider yourself a good contributor to your community: I believe I could, I like to share opinions both with veterans and new players
Are you friendly/helpful: as much as my possibilities allows me, yes
Would you be willing to prove your skill/knowledge ingame: sure.
Please, clarify for me (I seem to be an even bigger noob than I thought) where is this happening? like what server? I signed up above, but I’m in Yak’s Bend server and I don’t know if that’s where it’s at or what (is it somehow cross-server? Can that happen in this game? be a part of a guild in a diff server??)
Mighty: I just realized that since there are people like Geiir applying, and, of course, I still have interest in the guild myself (never got an invi though :c), and that, furthermore, Team Akatsuki is an all-thief team that both Geiir and I are on, I figured that we could basically make Akatsuki members teachers for this guild. That way, we’re pairing students with an established team that knows practically everything thief, and, furthermore, we have a clearer post-“academic” route for applicants to go through, if they wish.
Due to the nonsensical quantity of teachers applying vs students, I think I’ll make the testing phase very difficult, to see whom the best of the dozens of teachers that applied.
As for the poster above, server doesn’t matter. If you’re in EU, best to let me know, you can still join, but it’s a bit harder to manage.

I’m currently on a EU server. Planning to change where my team is going, but it won’t be any problem guesting or just transferring to teach people that needs it. Another idea could be to use teamspeak or Skype to help players abroad
I have skype, but I don’t have a TS server. So generally I just join public channels whenever I’m helping someone abroad.
Good suggestion though.

I have a teamspeak server with room for over 500 clients, so if that’s needed then I’ll make a channel on it for that
US EU? or did i miss this?
I know there are a ton of teachers, but diversity in teachers across differing builds is good, I think. :)
