“Perception” Guild

About Us:
Perception started as a 10 man guild under a different name during Wrath. The core members of that team have raided together for 8 years picking up another 1-3 core members every expansion. We transitioned to a 25 man in Cataclysm and have found heroic(pre-wod)/mythic(post-wod) success in each expansion. We've all become adults and working professionals so our raids have moved to the weekend.


Raid Schedule:
-- Raid times are 7:30-11:00pm server (EST) Saturday and Sunday
-- Alt Run on Friday at 8:00pm
-- Mythic+ and older raids occur spontaneously throughout the week.
-- Discord required.


Loot:
-- We use a Loot Council to distribute loot with the assistance of the RCLootCouncil addon

-- Loot council consists of an elected DPS and Healer for the duration of the tier and 2 other elected members that rotate bimonthly to promote transparency and increase investment in the success of the guild for members willing to serve on the loot council

-- Loot priority is to outfit DPS players first

-- Loot is distributed based on many factors including performance, attendance, upgrade potential, completing set bonuses, how long it's been since someone got loot, and planning to overcome future encounter considerations.


What our Guild can offer:
-- Light Raid Hours - Raiding a lighter schedule (7 hours), but take it seriously when we do raid.

-- Relaxed Environment - Our guild is mostly older (mid 20's and up) and the raiding environment is friendly and relaxed.

-- Active Outside of Raid - We run mythic+ and alt raids throughout the week for those interested. There's always someone online.

-- Small Guild Size - We recruit people to raid, not sit on the bench and hope for a raid spot. That said, as adults we understand real life happens, so we only require 75% attendance to be considered part of the Raid team. To support this philosophy we rotate raiders to fit our full roster into the 20man mythic size limit on days where everyone shows up and wants a spot.


Ideal Candidates:
-- Mature. Over 18. Our guild chat is largely uncensored so please be comfortable with swearing, crude jokes, and differing opinions.

-- Motivated - Everyone wants to see content, kill bosses, and progress their characters. We want people who understand what it takes to achieve that. Be a driver in your own success, not a passenger in ours. We are willing to work with our players to help develop their skills with log analysis, fight reviews, and strategy discussion, but you have to be willing to develop if you need improvement.

-- Performance - We expect players to be able to perform at least 75% parses for their class. Wiggle room obviously depends on fight strategy, encounter design, and if we give you any additional reponsibility to handle a role for us. Consistency is key. Mythic raiding is a meritocracy where everyone needs to contribute to encounter success. We're all in this together.

-- Preparation and Awareness - We want players who can adapt quickly and effectively against raid encounters. Expect a mechanic to target you. Expect EVERY mechanic to target you; at the same time. Have a plan, don't panic. Understand your decisions before you have to make them.

-- Attitude - We will raid short rather than recruit people with crappy attitudes, diva-ish behavior or emo drama queens. We are a small, tight knit, friendly guild...we absolutely refuse to recruit anyone who even gives the impression of being a prick and disrespectful. Help keep our guild a friendly and positive place to play.


Boring Fine Print:
-- Up to 3 weeks trial before commitment to raider status.
-- Trials must bring their own mats/consumables for raiding until the trial period ends.
-- Trials are fully eligible for loot but priority on significant upgrades will be given to current raiders.
-- Trials are given considerable performance leeway. First week: show up and don't cause problems. Second week: get comfortable, show us what you can do. Third week: time to show us you belong here. Ideally we would like to see some improvement in your play each week as you get comfortable with our strategies and playing as part of our team (if you're not already starting at the top).
