There is one and only reason for that. You are the very first that answers a thread of mine regardless of the outcome.No one has answered if I am accepted or rejected, or if they need time to examine the trainers' answers to see who may be the best fit for their guild. The third option you are mentioning is not true, since I applied with the order a found the threads in the forum.
Thank you for your time, hopefully my response answers all of your questions!
