elitist jerkselitist jerks We have been around since WoW retail began in November 2004 (and before, in many cases), and the majority of our members — and a large portion of our raiding members in particular — have been with us for upwards of four years at this point. This is likely because we actually enjoy playing together, but what do I know? We have a variety of interests and sorts of players within our guild, ranging from those whose primary focus is PvP and the Arena ladder, to those who are generally fairly casual, to those whose primary motivation is endgame raiding progression. This post is about that last group, and adding to it.

We raid up up to four nights a week, four hours per night. Our raiders have spanned a geographical range from Australia to England, but Mal’Ganis is a CST server. During progression, we raid 4 nights a week, usually Mon-Thurs. We never do 25-man progression raiding on Friday or Saturday. Raids begin at 8:30pm CST (9:30pm EST, 6:30pm PST). We don’t have nearly as demanding a raid schedule as most similarly-progressed guilds, and if you can’t make 90% of the listed times, it’s probably best not to bother.

If you are looking to raid seven days a week, six hours a day, you’ll probably find a better fit elsewhere. I think most guilds raid more than they need to, and I prefer to emphasize quality over quantity of time spent. The average age in the EJ raid group is probably in the neighborhood of 25, with more people tending towards the working professional end of the spectrum than the student end. I work too many hours each week to waste time screwing around when it comes to progression, and a lot of people are in that same boat. As a raid leader, I will be respectful and responsible in my use of your time, because I don’t assume that players have unlimited quantities of it.

About you

I am looking for exceptional players, who are mature, highly competitive, and analytical in their approach to the game, while at the same time remaining humble and patient. Primadonnas, drama-mongers, and selfish players need not apply. I am looking for players who learn quickly, do not make the same mistake twice, multitask well, are attentive to their surroundings, and are able to quickly grasp the bigger picture of a given encounter, rather than just their class-specific narrow role. If you never die to any flavor of Shadow Fissure, never blow up the raid (unintentionally), and so forth, then that’s a start. If you’re the sort of player who usually ends up doing technical tasks like kiting mobs on encounters that require it, even though it means diminishing your fantastic DPS, because both you and your guildmates know that you’re the one for the job, that’s a good sign.

While people who enjoy PvP, as do most of us, are more than welcome, PvE progression should be your priority when it comes down to it. (If you’re a Gladiator-level arena player, that’s a definite plus, however.) It should be what you build your character around, and the deciding factor in choices you make regarding gear and spec. Your history as a player should demonstrate experience and commitment to endgame raiding. Ideally, applicants will be players who have extensive TBC raiding experience along with extensive pre-ICC hardmode experience. Applications that claim exceptional skill, without a level of experience that would allow for such skill to be tested, will be looked upon with extreme skepticism.

Right now,, we are looking to wrap up the last couple of Heroic encounters before Arthas, and then will be farming ICC-25H while starting to work on 25H Lich King.

You should enjoy the game as a whole, and plan to continue playing for some time to come. I’m not interested in a hired gun who logs on to raid, logs off after, and is never seen except for when we’re raiding. You should also be a good social fit. If you’re an active member of these forums, that’s a good start.

You must be an intelligent human being, and you must be able to express yourself in a way that does not belie your intelligence. I don’t care if you are God’s gift to raiding — if your ordinary communication consists of “culd u rez plz?? thx” stay far away, though if we’re ever recruiting for the role of guild jester, your application may be filed away until such date.

I am aware that these standards are high, but I am quite content to remain patient for the perfect candidates.

Contrary to the application forms for seemingly every other raid guild on the planet, you do not need an exceptionally “thick skin” nor do you need to love dick jokes, racism, or have a propensity for masochism. Guild chat can be very much R-rated at times, but it’s hardly a defining characteristic of the guild. If you’re an exceptional player who has perhaps felt that some of the other endgame guilds weren’t quite the social atmosphere you had in mind, we may be what you’re looking for.

Class-specific notes

Mage: Do phenomenal DPS. Don’t stand in the fire. At least pretend to occasionally look at portions of your screen other than where your sick crits pop up on SCT/MSBT. Seriously, though, this one’s fairly straightforward — we’re looking for someone who’s entirely on top of the latest theorycraft, can push buttons well in real gameplay situations, and who is also comfortable with applying mage “utility” when needed.

Hunter: Pretty much the same as the above. We don’t strictly “need” a hunter as much as we do a mage, so be awesome.

Priest: Experience is going to be key here. On some level DPS is DPS, but applicants will need to be very experienced with the stress of healing Heroic encounters where a single errant cast or untimely GCD can result in a player’s death. Our long-time dedicated healing priest is moving and will be unable to raid with us going forward, so we’re looking for a replacement. Given the current state of the endgame, Disc as a primary spec is required, and a Holy offspec is strongly preferred.

How to apply

Send me a PM on these forums, containing the following information:

1) Character name
2) Level
3) Class
4) Race
5) Current server (transfers are welcome, but let’s talk first)
6) Link to Armory profile, and explanation of anything that may not be readily apparent from your Armory profile (alternate sets of gear, currently PvP-specced, etc.)
7) List of any serious alts you have
8) What are your usual playing hours? Are there days/times when you are consistently unavailable?
9) Guild and/or Guild History, with explanation of why and how you left and joined your current or prior guilds.
10) Explain what you perceive your character’s role in endgame content to be. Explain how your current gear and talent choices mesh with performing that role, and any ways in which you are still working on improving your character. Links to WoL/WMO/Stasis parses to illustrate your points are welcome.
11) Discuss your prior endgame raiding experience and your goals in Wrath of the Lich King raiding?
12) Why do you want to leave your current guild? Why do you want to join this guild?
13) Tell me a bit about yourself. How old are you? Where do you work or go to school? What is your gender? How long have you played WoW? What other MMOs have you played? Add anything else you feel is pertinent.
14) Please list any references (e.g., current/former guildmates) who could vouch for you. They won’t be contacted unless your application is seriously considered and we have spoken further.
15) Out-of-game contact information (e-mail, GTalk/AIM/whatever info, etc.)
16) Applications will be posted on an internal forum for review and discussion by members. If you would like more confidential treatment of your application, specify this and explain why.
