Who is The Family Business?
The Family Business began in December 2004, several weeks after WoW went live, and has been a staple of the Burning Blade community ever since. We began raiding in May of 2005, and we are still raiding today with the same raid leader(The Asthole) and officer core from our earliest days. While initially a four day a week raiding guild, we have scaled back to two nights a week to enjoy the content as it's released and to embarrass the competition who raid as much as three to five days a week with similar or even lesser results.
Why TFB?
TFB has been most commonly among the top 5, and for some time, top 3 guilds of Burning Blade in 25m raid progression. Further, TFB has a semi-casual raiding stance, and while we raid less than many of our peers, we still out perform much of the competition. With TFB, you can look forward to a shorter raid schedule (3 nights a week, 4 hours a night) but you can expect those 4 hours to be used to their fullest. We do not idle in front of bosses, we do not condone players who go AFK during trash repeatedly, and while we do take a short break half way through the raid, we never spend more than 15 minutes idling. That said, we enjoy a light, comedic atmosphere during our raids. We like to play the game to have fun, and raiding quietly for 4 hours is usually not how we do things. Jokes aside, you can expect a very serious shift in attitude when it comes time for progression.
Raiding Information
Current raid schedule is Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 7-11 PM EST. No other attendance is required, but you must be able to reliably make these raid days. Those with volatile work schedules or real life situations which may make you unavailable to raid less than 75% need not apply. We feature alt-character raids on Saturdays (10m), a hardcore group to tackle future content ahead of the main raid if you're interested on Thursdays, and various events such as old-raid achievement runs or simply taking a bunch of schmucks to Orgrimmar to stir up some action.
Additional Information
Below I provide links to a few choice youtube videos of our boss kills which include our ventrilo conversations. Should you take the time to watch them, you'll see a guild that enjoys raiding even after 7 years, people that actually enjoy being together for these raids, and an atmosphere that most individuals are quick to adapt to and fit in. We take the family in The Family Business seriously, and you'll be hard pressed to find any "drama" within our ranks.
