We are looking to coalesce a community of raiders who are
interested in casual-serious progression (caps for emphasis where
it belongs). Our schedule is lightweight, we raid hard and fast,
and the community is up-to-date on leading class/spec/boss strategy
and discussion. We are primarily interested in raiders who carry
qualities to match: 100% attendance, Google-educated, alert, and
motivated.
BACKGROUND:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Benevolent> was first conceived in October 2005. The guild
has been around for 6+ years and the type of experience we offer is
nothing new. What this might mean to you is we are home to quality
leadership and a strong player base. We are not a
"flavor-of-the-month" or a "2.00001" brand of guild. We also have a
long history of accomplishing more than most in substantially less:
9 hour raid week meets progress. Players who are here and who have
been here are proud. Furthermore, the guild is founded on a set of
principles that you could say match the name. You won't see us
spamming the cesspool of trade chat trying to recruit a gem in the
rough. We have low tolerance for drama internally and externally.
We have self-respect, are motivated by teamwork and general
goodwill toward the community. We strive to be a respectable place
that one might call "home". The players here are very active and
social, you will find: humor, pvp activity of a wide variety,
"alts", 10s, questing, etc. Most of us raid casual-serious by
choice, we are here because the time requirement is reduced while
providing results, and we all have other game interests or real
world commitments to be involved in but hunger for the content.
We value our membership and to a further extent, value our
reputation.
INTERESTED? HERE ARE THE DETAILS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Raid times are 6:00-8:30PM PST / 9:00-11:30pm EST Wednesday,
Thursday and Sunday.
- Trial is two-three weeks long and we will come to a guild
consensus on whether or not you "pass".
- We do not accept applicants under the age of 18.
- We are currently 8/8 DS pre-nerf and 5/8H DS
ABOUT YOU:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We want players who are personable, and also strive to develop
their character and experience raiding content in an interactive
environment. As a person you should be socially and ethically
developed, and open to making new friends within. As a player, you
should be specced, geared, gemmed, and enchanted appropriately for
T13 PvE content. You should have a well developed understanding of
your class, including its strengths and weaknesses and be able to
perform your role in raid boss encounters. If you are the type of
person that is solely concerned with loot, complains when asked to
be a team player, doesn't bother to read and discuss strategy
openly, and doesn't come prepared; we are not interested. As a
raiding guild, we do require that you are willing to spec to
support guild progression, in real-time, as the game is
continuously evolving. As the game changes, we evolve to match.
We welcome server transfers and faction changes!
CURRENT RECRUITMENT NEEDS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have a high priority for tanks and healers at the moment
as we are changing our raiding format from 25m to 10m groups. We
also have much room for DPS classes!
[We would recommend our tanks have a DPS off-spec as they may be
relegated to DPS spots once we convert back to the 25m format.] We
currently place highest priority on warriors.
* Regardless of our current needs, we always consider exceptional
applicants. Knowing how to play your class well is just a part of
it - good situational awareness is the other half (not dying to
engulfing flames, not dumping searing seeds in the middle of the
raid, etc.)
Raid Sponsors:
- Repair/Cauldron/Feast/Enchant/Potion

If you have any questions, feel free to whisper our recruitment
officer Vanadis, Miles or any member of Benevolent to discuss your
questions. Your inquiry will be kept strictly confidential, note
the above, we pride ourselves as professionals. Applications for
membership can be found in the public section of our forum, reached
through our website provided below. The application should be
emailed to us, it is designed to be short and to the point, it's
mostly an icebreaker for us so the more details you can provide us
to get a better idea about you, the better. You can also contact me
at anytime at wowbenevolent@gmail.com or visit us on the web at
