Everyone needs to read/understand the following rules. If you have any questions, please talk to Z.
- ALL MEMBERS MUST CHECK THE GUILD FORUMS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND ARE EXPECTED TO FOLLOW THE REQUIRED PROCEDURES FOR RAID SIGN-UPS, ETC.
- You MUST go to the Raid Availibility forum and post your available raid times. If you do not tell us when you are available, we will not schedule you for a raid.
All rules and policies are subject to change without prior notice. Should changes occur, the membership shall be notified as soon as possible. It is the responsibility of the members to keep up and comply with any changes.
-
Guild membership is a privilege and not a right. The following rules have been established so everyone understands expected behavior and what behaviors will not be tolerated.
Treat Everyone with Respect
- We are a friends and family- type guild and we are here to work together. We are not looking for people that are selfish or that have over-inflated egos.
- Direct attacks upon a player and/or derogatory language will not be tolerated. This includes not only within our guild, but also applies to general chat, trade chat, etc.
Help Out Your Fellow Guild Members
- If you know someone needs something for an achievement or upgrade, see what you can do to help. This could include running the raid with them, helping to acquire a needed item, etc..
- If a guild member needs a crafted item that you can make, craft it for them. You may not charge a fee for crafting an item for a guild member (the member will provide the materials, but you may not charge for actually crafting the item).
Enjoy yourself, your friends, your guild mates, and the game.
- We are a social guild, too. Get to know your guild mates.
- Run dailies, try for achievements, get your butts whooped by attempting to 3-man Lord Marrowgar (or the trash before you get to him!)
- Spend time just talking in guild chat. You will likely have more in common that you think.
-
We are not a hardcore raiding guild. A number of our raiders have families and/or other outside game commitments. Our raiding philosophy, however, requires the players that make commitments in-game follow through with those commitments.
By signing up for a raid you are agreeing to the following:
Sign Up, Show Up
- You must sign up for raids following the established procedure if you expect to raid.
- If you sign up for a raid, you are expected to show up.
- Show up on time for raids, this is generally 15 minutes, minimum, before raid invites start.
- If you know you cannot stay for the intended length of the raid, do not sign up.
Be Prepared
- Know the Fights, Know Your Role before coming to the raid.
- Have all needed flasks, food, and reagents for buffing before coming to the raid.
- Listen to the Raid Leader for instructions and follow them.
- If you are unable to adequately focus/perform for the raid due to excessive drinking or other reason, you will be removed from the raid.
Vent Rules
- Everyone must be in vent, at least able to listen, in order to raid.
- HEADPHONES ARE REQUIRED. You can use your iPod headphones, but you must use some type of headphones
- Keep chatter to a minimum as we move to and during fights or boss fights. The raid leader should not have to talk above you to be heard.
- If you cannot follow the above rules, you will either be removed from a raid or you will not be asked to go.
-
Raid group assignments will be determined collectively by the guild officers. Criteria used to determine raid groups will include, but is not limited to:
- Available raid times.
- Role/class/spec needed for the raid.
- Gear & ability.
- Special requests, if possible (e.g., couple that want to/or cannot raid at the same time).
At times, we may determine that it would be in the best interest of the guild to form a group that we feel can finish an area of content. For example, if we get a group that can get the Kingslayer title, then afterward we can split those players between the raids so everyone has a chance to run in heroics on some or all of the bosses and get more Kingslayers in the guild. Alternately, that group could be maintained with a core that rotates in a couple of members each time for the same purpose. -
THE FOLLOWING LOOT RULES WILL BE USED IN ALL RAIDS :
+1 Mainspec - the role that you come in on unless agreed to ahead of raid and everyone is informed at beginning of raid (the raid leader will consult with those that would be affected)
Tier tokens - are included in the +1 mainspec, but will be rolled on at the end of the raid
+1 Offspec - separate from mainspec
Armor Type Preference - those that wear that type of armor primarily/only get preference
Class Preference - weapons, trinkets, etc. geared to a certain class(es) will get preference
Raid Role Preference - healers get first choice on spirit gear, dps gets first choice on hit gear
BOEs Main Spec, Must Equip - if not taken for main spec, will go to guild bank
Maelstrom Crystals - will go to the guild bank
Skins - all skins from raids will go to the guild bank, as long as there is a guild skinner in the group
If you need an item, roll on it even if you are +1. If no one else rolls for it or are all +1, then you can still win the roll.
Don't Be a Loot Hog - help your fellow guildies by passing loot to them if it will benefit them more than you (i.e., would be a lateral "upgrade" for you, but a significant upgrade for them).Loot Drama - keep loot drama out of vent, raid, and guild chat. If an item was given to someone who you feel it should not have been, whisper the raid leader or a guild officer and calmly explain why. We all make mistakes and items can be traded for up to two hours after assignment.
-
Our guild raids are for main toons. You can let us know that you have an alt available or want to run an alt, but you need to plan on bringing your main toon, no matter what. The only time we will use alts is when we have a need for a certain class or spec or need to make accommodations so we can bring in someone else to fill a needed role. We are a little more lenient on the 10-man raids at this point. However, for groups that are on or past Putricide, you need to be running your main, unless the alt is equally geared/skilled AND the class/spec is needed. If you want to run an alt on the first few bosses of 10-mans then switch to your main (i.e., you will have two toons saved to the same raid), that is fine. But if you do not want to have both saved to the same raid, then you need to bring your main only..
-
- Any problems/conflicts should be dealt with outside of guild chat and general vent chat.
- Go directly to the person with whom you have a conflict and discuss it civilly.
- If you have any questions/problems/conflicts/suggestions, talk directly with an Officer.
