“Ace óf Spades” Guild

Ace of Spades is a World of Warcraft guild founded in 2005 on Bloodfeather server that is focused on end-game progression raiding. We have changed server for MoP and are now playing on Xavius, and since inception the leadership of Ace of Spades has always emphasized that quality is more important than quantity.

Our raids occur Sunday through Thursday from 19:30-00:00, with invites starting at 19:15 sharp.

Although attendance isn’t strictly enforced, we’re only interested in raiders that can commit to an 80% or higher raid attendance. We do understand that things come up, and we ask that you let us know if you will miss a raid. Above all, we're looking to recruit people who will remain with us in the long-term. A number of our members have been playing together for over five years and we strongly want to continue that trend.

Attitude and intelligence go a long way, and even if you can pump out 80,000 DPS and hold down a 2300+ arena team, if you can't carry on a simple conversation or if you talk down to the people we play with without offering genuine constructive advice, don't bother applying. Most of AoS members are in their 20's, but age isn't an important factor for us. If you can show up, perform well, and not act like a spoiled brat, it doesn't matter if you're still in high school or not. With that said, if you live under the constant threat of being grounded, or sent to bed early, then you aren't what we're looking for either.

Although applicants should be appropriately geared for current content, gear is largely a secondary concern to us. Rather, we are more interested in skilled players who are committed and dedicated to end-game raiding content and plan on continue playing. Raiding experience is expected, so we do require that you have at least a fair amount of experience in a 25-person raid environment. You should be familiar with any fights you've not yet done, including the ones we're working on.

We also happen to be extremely intolerant of drama. It has, undeniably, been one of the foremost reasons for the destruction of guilds in WoW. In accordance with our no-drama policy, if you are excessively whining, begging, fighting with others, flaming on message boards (including, but not limited to, our own) or doing anything that could damage the reputation of the guild, you will be warned. If you continue to disregard the warning, you will be promptly removed from the guild. Common sense is your best friend.

Please fill out the application thoroughly. Tell us who you are, what you think about your class, your philosophies on your role in the raid and how you meet our requirements. Give us a good idea why we should bring your into our ranks. It’s the best way to get our attention.

If you decide that AoS is the right fit for you, take a look at the application and spend some real time going over it. Run it through a spell-checker, make sure you've got punctuation where it belongs, and make sure it gives us an accurate picture of why we should recruit you. Applications that have obviously had little to no time spent on them with be dismissed out of hand. If you're not willing to spend 30 minutes to get into the guild, how can we expect you to put forth a good effort for 16 hours a week?

Requirements for a successful applicant are:

- Talent spec that is either a cookie cutter or justifiable (yes you will be questioned if you deviate from a cookie cutter).

- Both primary professions near or at their cap.

- Stable internet connection. If you d/c every other pull, you won’t do us any good.

- The knowledge to min/max, theorycraft and the desire to strive to be the best your class can be.

- Combat Logs must be provided.
