“Risk it to Win it” Guild

Risk it to Win it is a semi-hardcore guild that raids two nights a week (Monday 19:00-23:00 and Tuesday 19:00-23:00). Our goal is to provide a hardcore raiding environment on a casual schedule.

FAQ

What classes do you need?
We’re recruiting the player and not the class, so recruitment is always open for every class. We want you to play a role you will enjoy and excel at. We bring the best people for progress and if you outperform the competition you will get a spot.

What is the minimum item level required to join?
Having good gear is a plus, but not a requirement. Of course, we do prefer people that can step in at our current progress level and expect an exceptionally strong application from people that can’t do that because of their gear.

What is the minimum raiding experience I need?
When we evaluate someones raiding experience we look further than just the current tier. What we like to see is people that have done serious raiding over a longer period of time without taking breaks every other month (of course, it is fine if you have taken one or two breaks if you have been playing this game for years).

Will I get a stable spot?
That is entirely up to you. We bring the best people for a fight based on their performance and reliability. Only officers and council members have fixed spots for logistical reasons. Everyone, including veteran members, has to earn their place. You don’t have to worry about getting invited to raids if you are a reliable player with excellent performance and communication.

Do I have to make an application?
If you’re asking this question we’re probably not the right guild for you. We recruit people for the long run and if you’re going to raid hundreds of hours with a guild it doesn’t seem like a bad trade off to spend an hour or more on writing a good application.

Requirements

In no particular order:

-good communication, both in-game and on Mumble (a microphone and good communication skills in English are required); the ability to write a clear and convincing application is a good indicator in this regard,

-a certain level of maturity when it comes to dealing with criticism and comments from other players,

-as close to 100% attendance as possible, since we only raid two nights a week and don’t want to recruit for the bench,

-the ability to maintain a reasonable level of focus for the full duration of a 4-5 hour raid,

-rarely, if ever, going AFK at inconvenient times during raids,

-solid preparation so we don’t waste precious raid time on unnecessary wipes or explanations,

-using the best consumables available to you during both farm and progress (i.e. potions, food, flasks),

-min/maxing your character for raiding to a high degree (e.g. professions, race),

-doing whatever is needed outside of raids to optimize your performance during our limited raiding hours (e.g. farming, grinding reputations, practicing offspecs, theorycrafting, reading the guild forum),

-a good computer that can handle 20-man raids, as well as a stable internet connection with a latency below 50 milliseconds,

-a recent log parse (ideally Warcraft Logs; if you don’t have one already you need to make one, e.g. on normal or heroic difficulty, before applying).



A good enough application can compensate for flaws like a lack of gear or experience with the current content. Things aren't required, but will make your application much more likely to be accepted are:


-consistent end-game raiding experience since vanilla or at least the Burning Crusade,

-competitive rankings on WarcraftLogs.com,

-competitive PvP experience or verifiable high-end experience in another game,

-good challenge mode times,

-anything that shows your exceptional dedication to your character (e.g. a high number of achievement points, proving grounds, brawls),

-a good explanation for what you’re looking for in this game, how much you can or want to raid and why you think that makes Rock Paper Scissors a good long-term fit for you.
