[H] [Magtheridon] <Sedition> are recruiting social and dedicated raiders

Introduction and Tier report

Greetings!

We are Sedition, a guild of Heroic raiders that aspire to do Mythic raiding with a team of tightknit people.

Our current progress is as follows:
2/10M Nighthold
1/3M Trial of Valor
7/7M Emerald Nightmare

In the Nighthold Tier we attempted to get into Mythic going 2/10. We intended to have achieved more, however we ran into bumps along the road.

The two primary lessons we have learned from that tier is the management requirements for having 20 people show up on the same day at the same time twice a week is not easy. Further to this, that it is vital that there is no disparity in the ambition level among the guilds’ raiders.
We have taken these experiences and decided that with the coming of ToS to reform our guild rules and recruitment requirements to build a Mythic team of like-minded individuals ideally BEFORE we have finished clearing Heroic ToS.

Our ambition

Our motivations to do Mythic raiding is NOT to reach high on the scoreboard on WoW progress neither in terms of regional or server standing. We are not trying to get in on the Raid Race in any way shape or form, though we definitely use it as a measurement of how far we have come as a group!
Our motivation for raiding is to experience the hardest, and in our opinion, the best gameplay content this game has to offer, together with a group of people that it is enjoyable to be with socially. We want the guild to be a more community than business. We share the goal of raid progress and commitment within raids, but want to ensure the group is a friendly community across all games - not just log-in and slay raid bosses.

For us, the hardships and successes you experience with a guild made up of friends on raid progression is what ignites our passion for this game. This is the foundation of our guild. Some of us have raided extremely hardcore before, only to realise later on that the collective nerd-scream of downing that boss with your friends is almost identical to the nerd-scream you feel when you land a prestigious boss kill in a guild of anonymous skilled players. Collective hardship is what builds the enjoyment of a boss kill.

However, it is important not to mistake this for being super casual. We want to do things well without obligating our guildies to bash content endlessly. We value knowledge and ability as a player, but social interaction comes first.
Before considering applying to us, please firstly consider if our ambition aligns with your own. We do not wish to recruit people that feel like they are wasting their time in a guild that in their opinion is either too ambitious or not ambitious enough.

Why Sedition?

So, you’ve heard what we are looking for, and what we strive to be in this game. However, what you may not know is that we have consistently cleared heroic tiers at a strong pace. Under a former guild name, we cleared Xavius heroic within 4 weeks despite starting from 2 members at Legion launch. Further to this, we consistently kill heroic bosses at a strong pace relative to the server. Our only real hiccups have been organizational aspects of getting into mythic. Your application is a potential step toward not having any of these issues for Tomb of Sargeras.

As a guild, we accept mistakes. Whilst we always talk about what can be improved openly and clearly - we do not demonise gameplay errors. Frequent errors are obviously not ideal for the type of player we want, but don't be discouraged if you tend to mess some progression pulls up, that's fine. We learn and adapt as a raid group.

Finally, gear is not a heavy requirement. We do not need 910+ equipped characters. We want the right profile and gameplay from you; gear is not a requirement. Simply having the same ambitions, and the time to catch up – if needed. Given that our focus is on 7.2.5 now, we can help gear you up if you fit with the guild. We want to push properly as a collective and perhaps snag some top 20 server kills. Most importantly for us however, is that our usual strong heroic clear pace, is not delayed with issues getting a mythic raid team together.

Practical Information

Raid days:
- Wednesdays 20:00 – 23:00 ST Progress Day
- Sundays 21:00 – 00:00 ST Progress Day
- Friday 8:30-11:30 ST Optional raid day for easily clearable content, like previous legion raid tiers and ToS Heroic when we have it on farm.

Raider practical necessities:
- We expect 100% attendance from our raiders, we of course understand that sometimes life just gets in the way of things. The absolute minimum attendance requirement is 75% before we cannot consider you any longer for raids.
- Raiders must be online 10 minutes before raid start.
- If you work a demanding job, some exceptions can be made. However, we will always prioritise those who can be relied upon more often.
- All raiders are required to be on Teamspeak during progress raids. You are not required to talk, but expected to listen. We do very much welcome sociable talkative individuals, however idle chatter on TS in the middle of the raid leader speaking are an obstruction to healthy raids.
- Raiders are expected to bring their own consumable items in the form of flasks, pots, tomes and food for their own needs. However, in the event of WoW gold difficulties, the guild will provide these. Though this must be discussed well in advance of the raid start.
- Raiders are expected to research their spec and optimize their play and gear accordingly. It’s heavily encouraged to use more than just one source of information regarding your spec.
- Raiders are required to have installed either DBM or BigWigs for boss encounter and RCLootCoucil.

Social information

There is zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind. Be it gender, race, religion, political, nationality and so on.
Any serious social problems between raiders will resolved with the help of an officer in private outside of guild chat and Teamspeak causal chat room.
Other than these broad rules, we are very active on TeamSpeak and encourage banter – especially outside raids. We play most Blizzard games across our community on a casual basis (compared to WoW) at least, but these games are also encouraged between members. For example, HOTS 2.0 is pretty popular at the time of writing!

Application and Trial period:

If this sounds like a place you’d like to be a part of, you can apply via: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YVv...98beSvsWdah2rc

As a newly recruited, your skill as a player and your social behavior as person will be measured, and within a maximum 3-week period you will be approached by an officer that will tell you whether you have passed or not.
It’s important to note that while the skill of a players is important, just we value the social side of our raiders just as much if not more. We are not saying to have to be super outgoing and chatty, but we expect you to at least get along with the people you encounter in the guild and contribute with a focus on collective progression.
If you pass your trial, you will be asked two questions. Firstly, your first impressions of the guild on a general level and secondly if you want to become a member.
