I wouldn't shelve it just yet. The reason we're inactive is because we're taking a break which means the guild is pretty much dead until the break is over. The break should be over next week but we may be pushing it a bit longer. Our other guild is kind of finishing up they're thing so we may just wait for that to take its course and then pick back up.
So in order
1 - Yes we still actively run content, define leaders because the only real active person that actually plays his only toon is kaystor. As far as me I switch between 4 toons for what we need.
2 - We dont do friday raids anymore, that wasn't working at all. We pushed friday to tuesday, so in total we have tues/thurs/sat. Attendance hasnt been fantastic the past month because people have been going inactive & leaving the guild
3 - Yes we're still in t8, on real progression kills we barely have flame levi but attendance hurts that fight. Yes you can do that fight solo...in 251 gear but in 213 gear it hurts. As far as actual bosses we've killed, we've down all of siege & iron council in cataclysm gear with 5 people (2 tanks, 2 heals, 1 dps).
I would like to point out we downed XT-002 with 4 people. 1 tank, 2 dps (mage in cata gear, rogue in 200 gear), and 1 healer (in 187 gear mostly). We are very skilled players and we take raiding seriously but we're also laidback out of the guild. If you dont have a thick skin & can't take a hint or critisizm dont waste your time & money here. We tell you what your doing wrong and usually when kaystor says it its probably gonna hurt your feelings unless you dont have any. When I say it, I'm usually nice about it but if you keep screwing up I'm gonna be a real asshole about it if not raid kick you.
We dont like people screwing up, its not hard to see the fire or the debuff you have, threat isn't an issue unless tanks are bad but we dont recruit bad people anymore. Vent is kind of an issue so when I say clear vent and if its not cleared you will be punished.
I hope you've read up on our loot system because I'm not explaining it.
Basically to keep yourself in this guild & keep yourself on top instead of me showing you whats up...
1 - Read the fights & your class. I've seen people in 175 gear pull upwards of 4k dps back in wrath...you should be pulling 150% of your dps back in wrath if not more
2 - Thick skin! Have it or dont bother, if your a good player & actually prove you want to be a part of the guild rather than logging on to raid and then getting off...then we'll have no issues and probably become best friends
3 - I've grown a very short fuse for idiots & immature people lately...I'm a nice person overall but if you make me mad or disrespect the guild you probably wont last
4 - Be on vent and ready for invite 15 minutes before raid. Huge dock on EP if you don't show this, good boost if you do...no reason not to.
5 - I dont let people sign up for raids, I put the event on there, lock it, and expect you to show up. If you can't make it you let me know of 2 ways. Mail me in-game, or post on the forums under attendance. Your rank can fluctuate very fast depending on your latest activity
I know it sounds like alot to handle & probably someplace you wouldn't want to be but its just like any 85 guild you've been in that makes pretty decent progress (at least 4/7hm firelands). We have a community outside of the guild but not everybody is involved but the people who are you can definitely get to know.
If you need this better explained I will do my best but it shouldn't be hard to understand and I suppose a proper voice explanation I guess might be useful. We have a vent so if you need this please PM me on the forums and I'll get back to you asap
If this is not the guild for you please just respond so I dont have to count on you
And in all honesty by the time we're done with our break it might be best for you to just level up a priest and you'll be 80 by the time we're done if your a decent leveler. If you just hate leveling then just disregard this
