I mean, I would do something similar.Of course the Theive's Guild wouldn't be filled with 15th level rogues, because in DnD terms that is crazy strong. But why can't it be filled with level 2 rogues, fighters, rangers, and two artificers?
But I'm thinking of a game like B/X, where a 9th level thief can build a hidden building and then suddenly find 2d6 level 1-2 rogues in town ready and willing to work for him. That, to me, implies the town has quite a few classed individuals!
