I don't know if this is by design or if it's a bug, or an oversight....
If a thief doesn't "study" any thief skills, he can enter any of the membership guilds unrestricted without paying dues. I quote from the help file for "Guild Join":
"Joining a guild as a member is something that has been historically taken for granted. Some guilds are closing their doors to non-members, so membership is a requirement for entrance to some of the guild halls. When you join a guild you may receive benefits of such, depending on the guild. You may join one guild in the land at most and will move to that guild's city in the process. The price of entrance may vary between guilds.
In order to join a guild, you must find the guildguard of the guild to become a member. All those under the 10th level will be allowed entrance to all of their respective guilds, regardless of membership status."
Well at present, the "under 10th level" part is pretty much meaningless because even beyond 10th level, if a thief hasn't studied any path skills (including the general "path") he can gain entrance to any guild anyway. That's not terribly important at higher levels because a thief at higher levels with no path skills is considerably weaker than a thief who does have path skills. But in the gauntlet from 11-25, a non-path thief can be just as strong as a path thief.
