“Amused to Death” Guild

Origins :
<Amused to Death> is a raiding guild created in January 2009 on Auchindoun PvP Horde, where we gathered a lot of exceptional players from our previous guilds and realms. Back then we had a hardcore approach to raiding and were ranked top 50 at our peak. Now several years later we have regathered some of the core for DS progression and to prepare for MoP.

Raid Times :
Currently we raid Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday 20:00 – 23:30 with optional alt raids on offdays. When new patch content releases this might be extended with one extra day.

What we expect from our Applicants :
We are a raiding guild. We expect applicants as well as members to always come prepared with consumables, a good attitude, and a very high raid attendance. You will have to perform, accept criticism, and show initiative in improving.

You WANT to raid:
We are looking for people who really want to raid. If it’s the 10th consecutive night of progress wipes, you still want to be there and raid with us. If it’s the 100th clear of some boring instance, you are still willing to raid, and you’re thinking about how to beat the speed record. If one person doesn’t want it as bad as everyone else, the group will fail.

You know your class:
The EJ forums should be your second home. If you constantly do 10-20% less damage than a similarly geared player of the same class, then you’re doing something wrong. And while your guild mates might try to help you, his/her purpose in life is not to teach you how to play.

You can maintain 85% raid attendance: If you miss, on average, more than one raid per week, don’t whine about the consequences (being benched/demoted/etc). Use the AFK forum to report any vacations/issues.

Maximize Your Character: We are serious about gems/enchants/professions/glyphs on characters. Whenever you recieve an uppgrade you are to fully gem and enchant it.

NO DRAMA: Officers do not log on to be babysitters. We will not tolerate guild drama.



Current Guild / Raiding Situation


Recruitment is open for Mists of Pandaria!
We're now looking forward to the expansion, planning what we are going to do and trying to construct the best way to achieve our goals in Mists of Pandaria.
We have now opened recruitment for all Roles of Monks. We would prefer you have knowledge from Beta (by playing first hand) for obvious reasons.
A short while after release, we would welcome applications from those who didn't experience the Beta who have rolled Monks, after you've had time to learn how to play the Spec(s) you wish to play while raiding as a Monk.

Our longer term goal is as it has been from the start, 25man raiding.
