The Special Snowflakes

<The Special Snowflakes>

A brand-spanking-new 10-person raiding team has now assembled!

Raiding since 18/06/11!

Yet Another Raid Group?

Indeed!

It is my hope that our schedule and attitude can at least provide a good home to a few like-minded players and others trying to carve their own little comfy niche in this multi-guild monstrosity.

When are your raid times?

   * We are currently running Thursday 8pm-11pm and Saturday 8pm-11pm or 12am, server time.

What are we offering to prospective raiders?

   * A casual but competitive raiding environment focusing on progression and gearing. A perfect fit for the not-quite-casual but non-hardcore raider out there.
   * Assistance in gathering mats for crafted upgrades and enchants.
   * Free enchants for main-spec gear upgrades acquired during raid times.
   * New and challenging game experiences as we thrust ourselves into content.
   * Possible reimbursement for those who use their personal assets for The Greater Good™

What do we expect from prospective raiders?

   * The ability to maintain an 80% attendance record.
   * A willingness to help other roster members on off-hours.
   * A desire to learn new strategies and apply new skills
   * Gear-wise, we are looking for characters who are at least capable of running the Troll heroic dungeons and we are willing to assist the proper candidate in acquiring better pre-raid gear.
   * While it would be preferable, no previous raid experience is required to apply.
   * Players should have a good understanding of their own class and spec and be willing to research this as patches and hotfixes come out.
   * Raiders with capped or near-cap trade skills will be given preference. I don’t want any sweet sweet recipe drops going to waste.
   * We expect prospective roster members to research new fights before we raid and come with a basic understanding of the encounter. You should also make note of the loot table so you make make quick and informed decisions on drops.

== Required addons, etc ==

   * DBM
   * OMEN
   * AIE CTA (seriously, not enough people use this great add-on)
   * Vent and a microphone.

On the matter of sweet loot.

At the moment, we use a simple roll system with a loot master but may be migrating to a different loot system in a few weeks, once our roster settles down and we get a feel for the team.

Main --> Off/sell(BoE) --> DE

My only stipulation to the above loot system is this: don't be greedy.

All revenue made from the sale of BoEs goes to help pay for raid expenses (cauldrons, enchanting mats, etc)

== Okay, I have read your wall of text and I am still interested! What do I do? Please help me!

==

Don't worry. There is nothing wrong with you. That feeling is perfectly natural. I suggest that you reply to this thread and send a tell to either Aratall or Longmoo in game. While we are currently full, we are always looking for good subs for when the need arises.

Progress!
