Before you decide to join a Guild, it might be a good idea to look at some of the members and see what Age they are in, especially if you are a trader. The simplest (but not foolproof) way to do this is by looking at their scores.
I say this because I run a Guild where most of the membership is PE or lower. We have a few FE and higher members but not many. I had one member who posted a message about wanting a trade for goods to build an Arctic Orangery (he was only LMA...why he wanted to build an AO is beyond me, but I digress). Then a couple of days later he posted another message about being frustrated because his trade request went unanswered. I then explained to him our Guild's situation, that the majority of the Guild probably didn't have the goods that he was wanting. He apparently wasn't having any of it and left, but not before sending me a reply suggesting I do something that I dare not repeat here.
The bottom line is this: people can not trade goods that they do not have.
