<<10, 15, or even 20,000 in total ranks as a commoner?

Unless they've been training since before the guild was even announces, I doubt 15-20 is even possible. While 10 might be, I kinda doubt there are many, although I do know of 1 or 2 commoners out that probably are at that level.

I recently guilded my commoner actually.. but within about 2 months he was up to a little over 2k total ranks.. now I know those're easier ranks, but Tote's been a commoner probably longer than Seg's been a cleric.. heh
