Tried that, stood right next to inviter... no there is something else really wrong.

You have to wait a cool down to apply, but not to receive an invite. and I have tried multiple times even after cool down. also, like I said I am not the only one experiencing this problem. I can create a guild, and invite others who are having the same problems. And newly created guilds can find and invite me, just not the established ones, like the one I have been trying to get into(and yes they do want me in there as well)

I tried to get a screen shot of the weird views I got of guild list and guild ownership, but didn't work right
