Thinking in terms of fishermen trying to get a nice catch to stay full - that hunger being RP in this case - it makes sense that people who want to lead a guild would choose to fish with a large net rather than a small net. A larger net makes it more likely that they'll catch something and get to eat.Â
So, thinking along those lines, that's why you see a lot of guilds in any MMO which have "unfocused" requirements for entry - they're mercenary groups or adventurers or whatever, because that's a wide net which could include knightly types but also doesn't inherently exclude rogue types, archers, healers, and so on. On the other hand, guilds that do start with a more narrow category of who they'll accept can often have a more cohesive story... provided that they can even find enough players to join (and whose presence and participation will be frequent enough) to make that coalesce.
