“Casual” Guild

http://www.plzdontgank.us

Casual is currently recruiting the following classes:

All Classes



These are full time raiding positions.


Background:

* <Casual> is a hardcore PVE-oriented progression guild; we expect our raiders to come to raid fully prepared with the best gear, spec, and consumables in order to perform at the highest level of play.

* Founded on Mal'ganis server, we have a stable core of mature raiders who have been together for a very long time. <Casual> plans on staying together through Cataclysm and beyond. In addition to raiding excellence, we have promoted a focused team atmosphere in which each other's time spent on-line is valued and made worthwhile. The leadership is stable, as evidenced by Lidow being the guild leader since the <Casual>'s inception years ago.

* For Cataclysm, we are 13/13, clearing 25-man heroic-mode, for a US ranking of #19 and 7/7 heroic Firelands finishing for a US ranking of #40. We have been steadily raiding for quite a few years: in WotLK, we were 12/12 heroic-mode, defeating heroic-mode Lich King #14 in the US; in TBC, we had cleared content pre-nerf through M'uru and Kil'jaeden with a US rank of #35.

* Our raiders frown upon nerfs, ignore potential exploits, and, once defeated, we continue to farm hard-modes on a weekly basis rather than take short-cuts. Expect to kill every boss in this game pre-nerf, and don't expect us to give up or cancel raids due to the difficulty of an encounter.

* Recruitment is open for main raider spots only, we do not have interest in maintaining an extended list of potential back-ups. If you join our guild and fit in well, you will be an integral member of our raid and can expect to be present during the majority of progression. With that in mind, we expect routine and punctual attendance from all our raiders.


Details:

* Website: http://www.plzdontgank.us/
* Raid times: Mon-Thu, 8PM-1AM EST (during progression)
* Server: Scilla (US-PvP)


What we are looking for:

* We are looking for individuals who have fantastic raid awareness, don't make the same mistake twice, and know their classes inside out. The ideal applicant will be passionate about their class, will be up to date on recent and upcoming changes, and will maximize their performance via proper gemming, theorycrafting, and being self critical of their performance.

* Every applicant must have 2 raiding professions. The only exception to having a gathering profession is if you are willing to drop it for something useful if you are accepted.

* At this point being familiar with all of current Cataclysm content is necessary, unless you are an EXCEPTIONAL case. If you think you are one, make your case!

* Unlike most top guilds, you do not need a thick skin to be a part of our raids. You will NOT be verbally abused or have to listen to 500 racist jokes per raid. You will however, receive constructive criticism if we believe there are any issues with your performance, so excessively thin skinned individuals need not apply either.

* We will not, by any means, tolerate any drama or emo behavior in the guild. If you are drama-prone you need not apply. On the same token, a laid-back, drama-free individual can expect to get along relatively well with everyone in the guild.
