Crafters Of Fate
Rank Requirements and Explanations

JR. Member

Junior members are permitted to roll on all loot and items found in instances and guild events that are an upgrade for their main character in the COF

There are no requirements for junior members in with regards to level, guild activity, forum visits, or scheduled guild events.

Junior members are essentially players who are in the guild for entertainment and social interactivity.  They receive no benefits and their opinions on guild events are weighed lightly in comparison to all other ranks

Junior members will have little or no say in guild memberships, however this rank is not permanent and can be easily passed with only a slight effort.

We wish to promote a friendly and helpful atmosphere in which our members will recieve help form their guild mates where help is due.  In turn we expect that you return the favor not necessarily to the people you recieved help from but to anyone else in the guild that can benfit from your abilities.

Inactivity and lack of participation within the guild may result in being booted from 
The Crafters of Fate at this rank
