We're an "Aggressively Casual" raiding guild. With a median age of 30 yrs old, we focus on accomplishing our raiding goals -- 25 man Regular and Heroic progression -- while still maintaining a friendly, casual atmosphere outside of raids. While we enjoy performing at our best in a raid environment we also value real life responsibilities over a game.
Some of our core values:
*We treat each other with respect. Our raiders enjoy an atmosphere devoid of yelling, insults, and derision. We're focused on raid synergy and working as a team to overcome raid encounters.
*Loot distribution is handled with a DKP system that rewards performance and attendance. The more we accomplish as a team, the more individuals who participate can bid to get the loot. Off spec items are offered up for purchase with gold and sharding is always the last resort.
*We provide useful pre- & post-raid performance advice w/o trash talk or harsh criticism. Our experienced raiders will help you improve your game with useful class-specific tips & advice.
*We have a DKP turn-in policy where we reward members for turning in certain items with DKP. This allows us to have a robust inventory in our guild bank of consumables to take the sting out of the cost of raiding.
*When we recruit, we're more interested in your attitude and your capacity to learn, adapt and grow as a player rather than just your gear. Attitude > Gear.
If you're interested in seeing end game content before it's nerfed into the ground (har har!), and this seems like the atmosphere you could flourish in, check out The Phoenix.
