Raiding With Tranquility is unique as we are unlike most
guilds.
Fun is our primary goal. Having a good time is never put aside for
something else. However we still require our raiders to play and
operate at a certain play level. This post will cover what we at
Tranquility are looking for in terms of our Core Raiders.
Attitude :
The most important thing for us is your attitude. We want to have a
good time and bringing a negative attitude to raids is not
tolerated. Drama over loot, progression, wipes and performance are
also not tolerated and going on about any issues or perceived
issues in that way will not get them addressed. Be an adult, do not
play the blame game and talk things out with your team mates.
Performance :
We are classified as a casual raiding guild, However that does not
mean we take a casual outlook on raiding in general. You are
expected to perform well, including both pulling your weight at
your chosen roll AND staying alive. Spacial awareness is a huge
part of raiding and you need to be focused and on top of things for
us to succeed.
We have always taken a stance to help those we like become quality
raiders, but some times that just isn't possible for a variety of
reasons. Unfortunately if you cannot be what we need as a raiding
team to succeed, you will be demoted to backup or casual status and
be limited to raiding non progression farm content where the raid
team can effectively carry you, or not raiding at all.
Loot :
Loot is a bonus, a means to increase the power of our raid team, so
that we may progress. Loot is not a primary focus in Tranquility,
and as such we do not like to play with people who are focused on
it. Our loot system is just so for a reason (See Loot Council
Explained).
We do not want to assign value to items and give you "money" (DKP
EPGP etc.) to spend on loot, as that puts too much importance on
loot when what we want to focus on is having a good time and
progressing as a team.
Attendance :
Simply put, we need our team mates online in order to have a raid
in the first place! Attendance is very important to us, and that is
why it is #3 on our loot council for loot distribution. We realize
that some times it can seem like a job showing up every raid day,
but its all perspective. Your team mates and friends need you in
order to have a good time and progress, so it is important you put
us high on your priority list!
90%+ = Core Raider
70-89% = Raider
50-69% = Backup Raider
Below 50% attendance can qualify for backup, however officers and
raid leader will need to sign off on it.
We also have a Honorary raid rank " Veteran Raiders" for proven
raiders who are on leave or request this rank, it has the same
perks as a raider rank but is treated the same as "Backup Raider"
in reference to loot council, Should a vet end up raiding with us
for a night.
For the team, not the individual :
Simply put, we want players who are out to help the team and guild
grow, not themselves. We sometimes do older content for the
betterment of our team (Achievements, Mounts, Legendary items etc).
We don't like people who are only interested in what benefits them
and are unwilling or have a poor attitude when it comes time to
help others. Remember, one day you may be the one who needs help.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
A friend of mine once said World of Warcraft is a team sport, and
although we didn't agree on much, this I agree on.
Tranquility's raid team IS a team, but also almost a family, and
many of us use the raids as our social outlet and down time. Please
remember that World of Warcraft is more than just a game, and real
people are behind every character you meet and play with.
Contact Lightbreeze, Omnomax, Redford, Burninglight, Luxaeterna or
Emeny for possibility of trial, we hardly turn down quality players
with good attitudes.
