Recruitment Guidelines

About Us

Drow is a Horde guild on the Stormreaver realm. We are dedicated to PvE Raid progression. End of story. As such, every decision we make as a guild - from nightly activity, to raid composition, to loot distribution - is devoted to that end. If conquering raid content alongside other high-end guilds is your motivation in WoW, while putting forth the effort and work it takes to do so in a team environment, then you will be among peers in Drow.

Our reputation is important to us. You must understand the significance of maintaining professionalism in the public eye - from forum conduct to your behavior in-game. Drow as an organization has a long-standing tradition of excellence in gaming, and this team fosters excellence.

Team chemistry is paramount. We spend a lot of time playing this game, and we want Drow to be an environment in which we enjoy spending that time. We take our guild's cohesion seriously, and we believe that it is often the single most important force behind our team's progression. Consequently, we're seeking team oriented players who understand that it's often necessary to put Guild needs before the individual's.

Drow has consistently attained many highly ranked kills over the years. We were the only Alliance guild on Doomhammer to complete Naxx 40 pre-BC, we finished Sunwell ranked US 10th, we achieved US 9th Heroic Majordomo Executus and US 11th Heroic Ragnaros, and we expect this trend of success to continue throughout Mists of Pandaria and beyond.

Loot

Loot is distributed by a merit-based officer loot council. We award loot based on many factors including raid attendance, raid performance, seniority (how long you've been in the guild, not your rank), and previous loot received. We have a complex and extensive attendance/loot tracking system that helps to insure our decisions are always just.

Guild Progression is #1 when it comes to distributing loot.

Raid Times

Our raid times are 7pm - 11pm (PDT) Sunday through Thursday. Everyone should be ready to raid by 6:45 PM PDT.

Expectations

• Above and beyond, you must be able to perform in situations where others are counting on you to do your job, while maintaining a "can-do" attitude throughout an exhausting night of progression raiding.

• You must know your class inside and out, and showcase that knowledge via performance. We use tools such as Recount, WWS, and WoL, and we review the data we collect with those tools regularly to ensure that our successes are not a fluke.

• Your character must be optimized to reach its full potential! That means utilizing Top-tier gems, enchantments, consumables, or anything else that might give you an edge in a raiding environment!

• Having extensive raid experience is pretty much mandatory. Ideally we want experienced raiders who have seen the game inside and out, and who have experienced the scope of WoW raiding as its changed through the years.

• Experience being essential, so is raid-worthy gear. If you cannot step in and perform at our standards immediately, you cannot help us achieve our goals. Gear is an indicator of the commitment you have to being prepared and to playing your class to its fullest.

• You must be responsible enough to study encounters. With that said, come prepared for raids with whatever consumables and knowledge you'll need to enhance your performance. Ultimately you'll need a conceptual understanding of the mechanics behind raiding, as opposed to memorization of dance steps.

• You should be vocal! Don't hesitate to ask questions, and don't hesitate to give suggestions. We want active members who contribute to the community. You should never be afraid to tell us what's on your mind, or to share information you stumble upon.

• Members are expected to maintain a 90%+ raid attendance. Do not apply if you can't commit to our schedule.

What We Offer

Ultimately Drow provides an environment in which serious, progression-minded players have the opportunity to advance in the "End Game" of WoW. We host a professional atmosphere where mature players have the opportunity to maximize their character's potential.

Our aim is to enrich that environment with those seeking a long-term home in which to invest their time and energy.

Applying

Be very careful and precise, especially when filling out your previous guild history. We have ways of discovering your undocumented ass-hattery. Your goal is to convince us that you are a risk worth taking. A recruit is an investment into Drow's future.

Initiate phases for accepted applicants usually last 4 weeks. At the end of that time we will review your application and either reject you or promote you to Raid Team. This is not a family oriented guild nor a casual raiding guild. Each recruit and member is expected to push the guild as a whole into every encounter in this game. If you do not feel you can meet or exceed these requirements please do not bother posting an application.

If you have any questions about the application process or the guild itself feel free to contact Angrist or Kater via PM (Private Message) on these forums.

WE WILL NOT give you hour-by-hour, day-by-day, or even year-by year updates on your application, nor will I explain or divulge anything regarding our recruitment procedures. If you can't or won't understand and accept this, you may consider your application denied.

DO NOT waste our time. If you bitch and moan when you don't get internet purplez, don't get played on a raid, and are notified when you demonstrate a lack of class knowledge and inability to do your job in a competitive raiding environment, do not apply.

DO NOT harass Cel, Johnish, or other <Drow> officers regarding information about your application. An application on these forums does not guarantee we will tag you (guild invite) as a recruit.

If you have read the above and are damn sure <Drow> is the right guild for you, instructions to apply are below.

HOW TO APPLY: REGISTER A FORUM ACCOUNT. CONFIRM IT VIA E-MAIL (CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER IF YOU DON'T SEE IT!). ONCE CONFIRMED, LOG OUT THEN LOG BACK IN, CHECKING THE "REMEMBER ME?" BOX. CLICK THE LINK BELOW. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SAVING A BACKUP IN A WORD DOC OR TEXT FILE. IF YOU HIT ENTER AT ANY POINT YOU WILL SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION IN ITS CURRENT STATE.

Please click HERE if you wish to apply. MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER AN ACCOUNT ON OUR FORUMS FIRST AND READ ABOVE

Additional Comments

• I suggest logging into your forums account you set up and checking the box "Remember Me?". This will ensure that when you are filling the form out the forums will not time you out causing you to lose everything.

• ALL applications submitted are private, you will see a new board under the WoW Division listing that contains a thread with your character name as the thread title, this thread is visible only to you and our members, and you should keep an eye on it. Much of our communication with you will take place there, and you will be able to post in the thread to answer questions and/or submit any additional information you wish to.

• If you submit an application and it takes you to the redirect screen, ie the submission was completed and valid, yet you do not see your application in the forums there is the possibility it somehow got flagged by our spam filter. If this is the case I will still see the Application in its entirety. You may send Angrist a PM to ensure that we do if you wish.
