“Temporary Insanity” WoW Guild

Our Expectations:
We are looking for experienced players that can help us progress through ToC hard modes, we are not interested in any projects or players that we have to worry about or guide. If you're not confident in your playing ability then don't bother applying. Applicants should have raiding experience dating back to at least the previous expansion, preferably some pre-3.0 Sunwell. Keep in mind you will be playing with, and in some cases, replacing players that have Kil'Jaeden pre-nerf experience, H:GotUR completed, and H:ToC experience including killing Heroic 25 Anub'arak.

What gear do I need?
Gear, while easily obtainable, is dependent on where you are. If you are a cross server applicant you should have at least a full set of Ulduar or equivalent gear. If you are a Kilrogg applicant then gear is less of an issue, but you should show that you have done as much as possible with the raiding that is available to you. Also you should have the endorsement of a couple raiding members of the guild as an exceptional player. All applicants should be logged out in their optimal PvE gear.

About us:
Temporary Insanity is a guild that has existed since the alpha versions of the game. Our raiding started in Molten Core and several of those original members still play today. We play on one of the top PVE servers that has many competitive raiding guilds, both Horde and Alliance side. Since we've started raiding we've maintained our status as the top Horde guild on the server. We have a history of defeating bosses before they're "nerfed", including but not limited to Kil'jaeden before 3.0 was released. Outside of raiding many of our members are active in all other aspects of the game including achievements, pvp, leveling, and various raids. You will find that the players in TI are both mature and respectful, and we make sure that our raiders not only play well together but also get along. We also have a stimulating guild chat that attracts all types of interesting and fun conversations, but when it's time to raid we focus on doing what we're supposed to do: Kick ass!

Achievement progress:
On June 27th we completed Glory of the Ulduar Raider(10), and on Aug 13th we completed Glory of the Ulduar Raider(25). In general you will find that we do place a lot of importance on raiding achievements. We defeated Anub'arak in heroic 25 man Coliseum on October 20th. We are not one of those guilds who will farm bosses on "easy mode" for weeks on end before attempting their "hard mode" version. When we strive to be the best, we do it in every aspect of raiding.

Our purpose and what we offer:
We are here to bring together top quality players to aggressively push content. We enjoy likeminded people who are not only talented but in it for the benefit of their teammates to obtain the highest level of gear and have fun while doing it. We do not tolerate poor play or the inability to take suggestions to improve your play and will sometimes trim the players that do not fit that mold from our roster. We separate ourselves from most other hardcore raiding guilds in that we do not raid more than roughly 20 hours a week. This means that the quality of our players is especially important as we do not have interest in compensating for poor play by putting in more hours.

Our loot system:
We use an EPGP system first and a loot council system second. With EPGP you earn Effort Points for bosses killed and time spent learning new bosses and you gain Gear Points when you acquire loot for your main spec. Your loot priority is determined by your Effort Points divided by your Gear Points. Each night everyone's EP and GP is decayed by a set percent. If everyone passes on an item, the item drops to 0 GP and anyone wanting it (primarily for offspec purposes) speaks up and the winner is decided through loot council. Good items never rot under this system, and it is possible to gear up a 2nd or in some cases a 3rd set of gear.

Our raid times:
We raid Monday through Thursday 7-11pst and sometimes Sunday 6-11pst (Pacific Standard Time). If all of our raiding is done before that point we have days off, but on progression weeks you should expect to be there each of those nights. We expect 90-100% attendance from our raiders. Any temporary or permanent changes in your schedule that would prevent you from making our raid times should be noted in your application.

Who do I talk to?
You'll primarily want to talk to Gilora, Kainteeka, Might, Chowbox, Rbuzorz, Zenmaza, Bouncydemon, or Dendrek. You can also contact these people on our forums about the progress of your application at any time.

Ok how do I apply?
First you need to create a forum account at tiguild.com and activate it if necessary. Next you need to log into that account, go the "apply" section on the front page, and follow the directions.

Our recruitment process:
After your app is posted it’s viewed by our recruitment team, at which point we will decide if we are interested or not. If we are interested we will contact you and set up an interview. We do not notify applicants if they are denied, so if you don’t hear anything back within a week, we are most likely not interested.

Any special notes on applying?
Not having either a World of Logs or WoW Meter Online report will greatly decrease your chances of getting an interview with our recruitment team. If you can't provide one when you submit your app but you plan on having access to it in the near future, please be sure to specify that. Keep in mind that even if your guild does not run one of these programs, you can set up your own for free, so please make the effort to do so.
