What we're looking for

We at <Aggression> are only looking for long term members, we do not want players that will quit as soon as Wrath of the Lich King comes to an end. Aggression is not going anywhere, we want members that will be part of our raiding core that will still be with us when we're raiding in Cataclysm. Everyone that joins will be an active raider, you will be given a chance to make yourself stand out and earn your raid spot. Understand that during progression we will do whatever is necessary to make the encounter we're learning as easy as possible, if you cannot handle being sat out for a fight do not waste our time. Please know we are very fair with how we handle sitting out certain classes, everyone will see equal raid time whether it's progression or not.

Applicant Requirement

Being very vocal in vent if you play a critical role is what we like to see. We like applicants that know how to communicate on vent while doing their job. Overall being a good player and learning to get to know the guild beyond the raids, trying to know the guild as a whole whether it's pvping or socializing in game or in ventrilo - anything. The last thing we want is a raid logger. As stated before we take raiding seriously despite how easy the encounter is.

Our ideal applicant has to be very competitive player as a whole, when you get beat you have to look for ways to improve. You have to be intelligent, every member of Aggression min/maxes their gear to the best possible and if you currently do not do whatever it takes it will not take long before the officers realize you are not the type of player we are looking for.

Applicants and Alts

Like most top guilds, we have field a second raid consisting of all alts. Our alt raids are no different from our main raid, the DPS is lower because of the obvious gear differences and overall experience with their main characters, but when it comes to performance and the ability to defeat encounters - it's no different than in our main raid. As an applicant you won't be expected to bring your alt over right away, unless you are confident in your own abilities that you will pass your trial phase and feel you mesh with the guild well - you can wait until you have passed your trial. You will need to have an alt over eventually.

About <Aggression>

Maintaining a solid team atmosphere is very crucial to us, we like to socialize during raids and off raids. Aggression members all know one another, we do not consist of a bunch of cliques, instead the entire guild is a whole - no one is left out. Regardless of our close-knit atmosphere we have no problem welcoming newer members to our guild and making them feel like they are part of the team. Our guild takes raiding very seriously, we do not like wiping on anything. We use consumables for any and all raids we go to, we expect all applicants to be this prepared as well.

Schedule and Attendance

Aggression raids always start at 7pm CST and last until 11pm during farm content. After progression is all done we will be raiding very relaxed with a couple days off until new content comes out. If you cannot commit to this don't waste your time.

The following is our schedule, it is possible that raids will be extended to 2:00-3:00 am if absolutely required.

Monday: Off Day
Tuesday: 7:00pm - 11:00pm
Wednesday: 7:00pm - 11:00pm
Thursday: 7:00pm - 11:00pm
Friday: Off Day
Saturday: Off Day
Sunday: 7:00pm - 11:00pm

We still expect all members to be able to attend raids on Friday and Saturday if we schedule it ahead of time, we will only be raiding Fridays/Saturdays if required for progression. If you cannot commit to this do not apply. We require all our members to let us know in advance if they cannot attend a raid, failure to do so can result in removal.

Loot

Aggression now awards all loot via loot council. We distribute loot based on many factors, including raid attendance, seniority(how long you've been in the guild), and previous loot received. As far as tracking loot, you will see how that works when you become a trial member in our guild.

Our goal is to put the loot where it will best serve the guild from a raid progression standpoint, we do not punish members for taking items that are not their best in slot but still a fairly decent upgrade. We place a high value on loyalty and attendance, and tend to award the best items to individuals that have proven themselves to be trustworthy and reliable.

Application Process

Our application process normally lasts about four weeks. However, it can be extended under certain circumstances. To fully test our applicants, we will always give them one of the hardest jobs in the raid. Note that our application process is very harsh, only the best of the best will make it to member status in Aggression. We do not promote or keep average players, we need players that are completely confident in their abilities to play their class to the fullest. Mistakes are not forgotten and wiping the raid is very unforgiving, you will most likely be removed if this were to happen. If you know(not think) you have what it takes to compete with some of the best players in world, then you'll do fine in our guild. We don't settle for anything less than the best.
____________________


Expectations

We expect all applicants to be able to maintain close to 100% attendance during their trial period. We expect all members to maintain 90% attendance life time.

We want you to want to be in our raids, and we will invest in you as much as you invest into us. As a guild, Aggression strives to be the best. We expect our raiders to know as much about a fight before even stepping into the instance.

What you will get by joining <Aggression>

Leadership:
<Aggression> is run by a core of Officers. When a decision is made it means that several people talked it over and had their opinions on the decision. Every officer does their part to help and run the guild. Know that we are all fair and understanding people, we know how to treat our guild members.

Once you are promoted to member in <Aggression> your raiding spot will be secure and we will close recruitment for that specific class. However, if you continue to play horribly, or not care about raiding -- we will talk to you privately and tell you to change the attitude or actions will be taken.
