“Obsolete” Guild

Obsolete is the top guild on the Whisperwind server, having been established during Burning Crusade. We're currently recruiting for Cataclysm, which means that all exceptional players are welcome to place an application. Specifically, we're looking for a Holy Paladin, strong ranged DPS, and possibly looking to add another tank to the roster that has a strong DPS offspec.

What you should expect from us?

We have what some would consider a casual schedule at three nights a week and four hours a night, but when it comes to raiding, there is nothing casual about us. Our approach to the game is very serious, and we do not like to fool around and waste time.

We're competitive, and we always strive to be the best. Your WWS/WoL reports will be scrutinized. If you don't pot, we'll know. If you don't pop trinkets or cooldowns, we'll figure that out! That being said, we still like to have fun and get things done.

Most of our members are 18+. However, we're not entirely the most mature people, as we do like to joke around in guild and in Vent.

Raider or member, we're here to enjoy the game. We have some early risers and some night owls. Pretty much from the afternoon until late night there's always something happening, be it five mans, ten mans, PvP, or otherwise.

What we expect from you as a raider?

Like minded individuals to us. We take raiding seriously, and as such a lot of our members are theorycrafters and are constantly trying to improve their game. Always working at improving yourself for maximum TPS, DPS, or healing efficiency is just one way that you can always keep working.

We appreciate someone who's serious during raids, but also not too serious about themselves. Someone who can take a joke and can dish a good one.

Attendance Requirement: 90% attendance, preferably as close to 100% as possible. With such a short schedule, it's imperative that raiders be there as often as possible. One thing our officer core hates more than anything is canceling a raid. Even if you're not brought in for every raid, patience with the guild and its officers is something we appreciate.

Don't go AFK without saying you will, don't miss a raid without saying you will. Just tell us, we'll understand. Real life happens - your wife or you yourself may be delivering a baby, someone important in your life has a birthday, an anniversary. We're not going to get angry at your or be hostile given this isn't a common occurrence to the point where it's obviously fabricated. No prior notification (except in the case of emergencies, of course) will not be acceptable in the guild's eyes.

Loot System: We use a loot council, and for those of you who have been in this system before - don't worry, it is not an officers come first basis like 99% of all other loot councils. EVERYONE will be judged on their performance (many of us here like to scrutinize logs to see if someone is improving, declining, or consistent in their performance), attendance, how much loot someone has won recently, and whoever's in greatest need of it.

No Drama. Period.: I'll have none of it, and neither will the rest of the guild. If there's previous guild drama that I catch wind of either through interview or speaking with previous guild leaders, it is at the discretion of myself and the recruitment officers to deny your application immediately or to end your recruitment process.
