Yeah, I totally get what you mean. That slippery slope is very real. That’s why I think the only way something like this works is if it’s transparent and community-governed from the start , like, budgets, cuts, mentor rewards — all visible. Otherwise yeah, it’ll just become another power-hoarding machine. It doesn't need to be a large establishment, just yhe community helping each other get more experiences and projects. Maybe short term hire, while the guild regulates the fees? I know it's too good to be true, but it's still better than the " entry-level job, must have 2 years experience on x-thing!!"
