<Riptide> is a small tight-knit and highly active guild which simultaneously offers both a competitive and friendly environment. Our main goal is to build a community that fosters strong relationships and enhances our members' lives.

About the team: We are a progression-based raid team who is H: 14/14 in SoO as of July 31, 2014; we raid 3 times per week (Wed, Thur, Mon) from 8-11:30pm (EST). It should be noted that we are not recruiting a benchwarmer, we are looking for someone who will have the same opportunities as our long-time members. We have team members who are married, have kids, jobs, etc. We have a lot of raid experience and to varying degrees a lot of experience raiding with each other. We raid to have fun with guildmates whose company we genuinely enjoy. This team is led by people with years of experience balancing progression with having a good time.
Please see http://riptide-guild.com/index.php/recruitment/before-you-apply for more information.

What you can expect from Riptide:

• We are a democratic guild. If you join, you will have the opportunity to help shape our future.
  
• We say "if one member has a problem, the guild has a problem." We won't always be able to please everyone, but we do our best to make sure everyone's concerns are heard and responded to.
  
• We will treat you with respect and see you as a person - not just a class, a spec, and a pile of gear.
  
• We try to keep together friends and family. We cannot promise that your friends and family will be able to raid regularly with us, but we can promise they will get a chance to join our guild.
  
• We will always respect the fact that your real life takes priority over anything WoW-related. Some of our members are couples and/or parents; we know what peoples' priorities should be.

What we expect from our members:

• That you be respectful to other players - not just fellow guild members, all players.
  
• That you realize loot isn't why we play this game. Even the best items in WoW will be obsolete next expansion, but hopefully the friendships you form and the memories you take will be with you for years.
  
• That you make an effort to get to know and go on runs with your fellow guildmates (not just those that raid). We don't want people who only log on during raid times.
  
• That if/when you do come to a raid, you focus and do your best to be prepared. This may sound like a progression-oriented expectation, but it isn't; it is disrespectful to your fellow guildmates to come to a raid and go afk or not pay attention.
  
• That if you have criticisms/suggestions, you voice them in a constructive fashion.
  
• That you acknowledge you don't know everything and are willing to take advice if it's offered to you in a constructive fashion. We would rather take an okay player that's willing to learn and has a great attitude than a good player who thinks he's God's gift to WoW.
