There are several things we take into account when we are deciding on potential recruits. The first of those things is your application; it is your first impression upon us. One of the most important things to us as a guild is competence, and your first chance to convey to us that you are worth our time is through the writing of your application. If you send us an application that isn't well thought out, riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, or generally seems like you did not put a modicum of effort into it, we will most likely ignore you. Intelligence is paramount in this game; the encounters at the end-game level are not what they used to be, and in almost every single one of them each person must be accountable to make proactive and reactive decisions based on the information available to them for us to succeed. If it seems to us like you have the IQ of a well-ripened grapefruit, you do not stand a chance.
With that said, there are also several other things to take in to account before you apply, and they are each described below in detail:
*The ability to adapt, learn and become a better player.
Chances are high that you are not Mohammed's gift to internet gaming. That means that you must always be looking to improve your skill as a player. As well, you have to be able to soak up vast amounts of information, whether that be during the learning procedures of a new encounter, or a set of tasks being assigned to you. You also must possess the ability to fill any role we need you for, and be able to function at a high level of performance no matter what job you are performing.
You need to be sociable, have a good sense of humor and be able to take a verbal beating.
As a guild, we love making things dead. That said, we also like to have fun, laugh a lot at overplayed internet memes and generally give each other a hard time. None of that however is possible if you have the social aptitude of a 2-year old. We expect that you will not annoy us with your mindless banter, have the ability to take a tongue lashing every once in awhile when you screw up and laugh at our jokes when we tell you to.
*You must be able to pay attention and focus on a task.
If you have the attention span of a peanut, you probably won't last long with us. Raiding is usually arduous, brain-intensive, focus-requiring stuff, and we don't have room for lemmings who can't handle that. If you find yourself constantly getting bored while getting ready to do a boss encounter and decide to listen to music or clip your toenails instead, you will quickly learn that won't work in our guild.
*You can't have a computer with a *TURBO* button to bump up its processor speed to 66MHz.
Shitty computers, shitty connections and shitty OS management leads to unreliable raid members. If you're constantly going offline to reboot your router or to restart your client because "me game's laggin", you won't have a spot in our raids. As well, you should be able to manage your in-game addons to a point where they don't complicate your job more than assist it.
You must show up to raids and you must be able to play a lot.
*You can't be an emo mental-case asshat.
We instill a "no-emo" policy here. If you're the type of person that can't handle group segregation, e-peen flexing, the occasional racial slur, vulgor and offensive language or if you are a loot whore and think you deserve everything, then this guild is not for you. My Little Pony Online might be a better fit. You will be removed immediately if you are emo or become emo at any point during your stay here.
TLDR: NO DRAMA - This includes Trade and other chat channels, if you behave in a manner that will tarnish the reputation of the guild you will not be part of Precision very long.
*You must be able to farm your own consumables.
This is a huge point that has to be taken seriously. Killing new bosses requires lots and lots of potions. We simply cannot provide all our members with what it takes to kill a boss, so this means that each and every one of our raids spots is for people who can farm their own shit. This includes things like Flasks and other expensive consumables. You MUST be able to meet this requirement or you will simply not make the cut.
*You must have already put a considerable amount of time into the game.
Your gear needs to reflect that you have made a concerted effort to obtain the best items you can get.
We aren't as hardcore as many other guilds, but we take the time we spend online seriously. On top of that, we keep a small roster (for many reasons), and that means we require high attendance from our members. We raid 3 nights a week. If you can't make at least 80% of those raids you aren't for us. Our raid schedule is as follows:
* Tuesday: 8:30 - 11:00 PM CST
* Wednesday: 8:30 - 11:00 PM CST
* Thursday: 8:30 - 11:00 PM CST
... and here's the most important part of the application process:
**You must not annoy us with questions about your application!
If we are interested in you, we will respond to your application. If we don't contact you within 2 weeks of your application submission, that's a very strong indication that we don't want you. If your application sucked, you didn't meet our requirements or you have a bad reputation for being an idiot, we most likely discarded your application right after it was read.
If we reply to your application on this website you are expected to come back here and check what we wrote and reply back to us.
* GUILD TRIAL PERIOD:
We prefer to have an approximate 2 week trial period where we can get to know each other and really find out if Precision is the right guild for you.
We want people to enjoy the game to its fullest and that very much includes being in a guild you mesh with. Typically this will be either a trial invite to the guild or just a couple of weeks doing activities in game with you (instances, raids, etc.). If it doesn't work out and either of us decides it's not the right place then no hard feelings either way.
* RAIDING PHILOSOPHY AND EXPECTATIONS:
While we may be casual in the amount of time we spend raiding we have every intention of being "Hard core" in the way in which we raid. This simply means several points you MUST do if you plan to get a raid spot:
1. Show up on time
2. Come prepared with consumables
3. Research boss strats prior to raid
4. Do not have extensive AFKs or unannounced AFKs in raids
5. Listen to officers and do not interrupt or blurt out strats on vent unless you are an officer (we want suggestions but in-game whispers please!)
5. Pull with confidence, always be ready to heal, and DPS every mob with 100% focus!
* RAID SIGN UPS:
We will have our raid dates and sign ups created on the in game calendar. If you want a spot in a raid PLEASE accept the invite before the day of the raid, but only accept if you are certain you can attend. (Those who accept invites with the in-game calendar get priority over those who did not).
Guild Rank Definitions
If you are unable to attend a raid you signed up for and cannot get online to change your status on the invite please make a post in the raid availability section of our forums.
You will be expected to visit this website to see what is up with the guild and hopefully talk to us on the forums! =)
DETAILED RAID LOOT RULES:
Precision uses EPGP for loot distribution, please view the link below for details.
EPGP Loot Rules
MISC LOOT RULES:
Precision uses EPGP for loot distruibution as said above.
We do have a few loot policies when to clarify "gray" areas.
1. Use good judgment when requesting an item. Some drops are just not nearly as good for your class/spec as they might be for another, just be courteous!
2. GM/Officers reserve final decision on looting. If you are taking loot that is not good for you or just not being courteous on looting you will not be awarded the items.
3. Patterns/enchants will be awarded first to officers and then the guild bank funds to increase the chance that Precision will have that pattern for the long term. This is to help prevent loss of crafting abilities due to people moving guilds, etc.
4. Weapons will be awarded to DPS classes whom use it as the main source of DPS first. (e.g. Hunters will get bows/guns first, Melee 2H DPS get dps axes/swords first.)
5. Members will only be awarded items for their type of armor UNLESS nobody of that armor type needs that item. Items of a lower armor type are considered "offpsec" and not under the EPGP method. (e.g. Pallys stick to plate, Druids stick to Leather, etc.)
6. Please research the drops before entering the raid so you can fully determine if the item is an upgrade before rolling. Especially Tier level loot where you can't see the stats right away.
