Experiencing the guild after all this time

A middle aged woman was at the counter. I expected a beautiful woman to run the counter like the games I used to play. But I guess reality was different. "Welcome. How can I help you?"

"Can you fill me in on how this works? How I can sell materials and stuff…"

"You would have to register at the guild first. Then we'll assign ranks based on your aptitude and experience. After that-"

Things were getting tedious. To sell materials we needed to register first. That was okay and all but we'd get the lowest rank, rookie. Rookies had mandatory jobs so we'd be pretty much slaves if we registered. I didn't like the sound of it. The way they presented it, had a lot of superficial worshipping. They were treating a job at the guild like some sort of super luxury thing: it definitely wasn't winning me over. This woman was hell bent on scamming me. But could I actually call it a scam though?
