<Aradune> White Mountain Denizens- CST Raiding Guild

Server - Aradune
Raid Days - Mon Tues Thurs
Time - 7pm - 11pm cst
Discord - https://discord.gg/JE44uF5
Officers - TBD ( Looking for people )

The focus of this guild will be to clear all current content each week, keeping boxes to a minimum as well as not zerging targets.

We will use a loot council of myself plus three officers and three raiders chosen each expac by guild vote. Loot will be distributed based on three factors. 1. time since last upgrade 2. size of the upgrade 3. raid attendance.

Recruitment is fully open pre-launch until after we have begun raids. Once raiding begins we will hold recruitment on classes that are already at quota on raids. Opening the class back up once we lose a raid slot several weeks in a row. Once WMD is able to close open recruitment we will be moving to a system of votes for recruits to get moved to full raider status. They will have to have at least 5 raiders upvote the recruit joining the guild, with no more than 2 down votes to become a full member.


Certain Items will be restricted to certain classes during the current era, all such items will be listed beforehand so that you know before the next expac begins.

Warriors looking to join the guild should maintain a 80%+ Raid Attendance. If you intend to play a warrior that you will receive additional scrutiny due to the fact that we are only keeping 5 raiding Wars in the guild at one time. This is to limit how spread out the tank gear gets. You need 4 tanks for a DEF rotation, the 5th warrior is our back up in case one of the other 4 can't make a raid.The reason being, if we can't utilize a defensive rotation there are some fights we just can not complete. No other classes have any attendance threshold.

Officer positions are open and will be assigned once the server has been up for at least three weeks so we can make sure that everyone is a good fit.

AoCs get launched each raid night exactly at 7pm cst if we are not able to start clearing trash roughly an hour before raid in order to speed up Loot kills nightly. You don't have to come to pre-clearing before raid times, but the more who do, the more we can get done during hours, which is more loot all around.

These are the number of mains that we are shooting towards keeping on the roster at all times as active raiders.

Bard - 5
Beastlord - 3
Berserker - 2
Cleric - 6-8
Warrior - 5
SK - 2
Pally - 2
Rogue - 4
Ranger - 3
Shaman - 2-3
Druid - 2
Monk - 3
Enchanter - 3
Wizard - 4
Necro - 3
Mage - 2

Example of how loot will work on raids -

Innate tells the guild: Tells to Innate for Blade of Carnage Go
Sevlas tells Innate - Blade of Strategy
Manwey tells Innate - Horn of Hsagra
Draco tells Innate - Wave Crasher

Loot Council discussion:
Sevlas has a 100%RA, Manwey has a 80%RA, and Draco has a 75% RA
Manwey just upgraded to the Horn last week, Draco is looting rotting pieces since he is new to the guild, and Sevlas is the guilds main tank who looted something within the last week

We debate, deciding Sevlas gets the 1st BoC. After Raids we will post all loot and winners, if you have a issue with how the council assigned loot you can downvote report after the raid which will start a conversation either with the individual who downvoted or the officers will put out a reasoning for the loot decision if several people take issue with it.
When Loot Council is deadlocked on who should get an upgrade since multiple raiders have essentially the same gear + Raid Attendance, then we will go to /random 100. This option isn't taken very often, but allows us to more fairly decide who gets what in a close race.

With the rule set being Main + 1 Box there will be a slight edit to Loot Council Rules - Boxes will be treated as if they were their own person, however they can only compete for gear against other Boxes and Recruits. The formula for giving Boxes loot is as follows - No Mains Bid, Boxes RA, Boxes Current Gear, Box Time Since Last Upgrade.

Today's Update - Certain Items will be restricted to certain classes during the current era, all such items will be listed before hand so that you know before the next expac begins.

Spoke with Innatio for a bit the other day. Really seems to have it together if you're rolling on Aradune. #freebump

Question of the day answered: When is WMD's 1st raid going to happen?

As soon as we can get a group of 47s into PoHate we will be there as a single group farming gear. On the last several TLPs this has been on average the end of the 3rd week the server has been open. Once a single group is able to farm planar gear this really opens up the flood gates to gearing an entire Raid force over the course of a few weeks. As far as sharing Hate with everyone else at that time breaking into Hate, we will be using our AoCs pretty much starting at week 3 in order to give us access to farming Raid level gear as well as group gear think GEBs to FGs.

Once WMD is able to close open recruitment we will be moving to a system of votes for recruits to get moved to full raider status. They will have to have at least 5 raiders upvote the recruit joining the guild, with no more than 2 down votes to become a full member.

Today's bump fact is - AoCs get launched each raid night exactly at 7pm cst if we are not able to start clearing trash roughly a hour before raid in order to speed up Loot kills nightly. You dont have to come to pre-clearing before raid times, but the more who do, the more we can get done during hours, which is more loot all around.

Recruitment is fully open pre-launch until after we have begun raids. Once raiding begins we will hold recruitment on classes that are already at quota on raids. Opening the class back up once we lose a raid slot several weeks in a row.

Todays bump fact - when Loot Council is deadlocked on who should get a upgrade since multiple raiders have essentially the same gear + Raid Attendence, then we will go to /random 100. This option isnt taken very often, but allows us to more fairly decide who gets what in a close race.

Today's Bump Fact - that I dont feel like coming up with a fact at the moment

Today's Bump Fact - WMD isnt going to allow known toxic white trash like **Dragonslayer to join the guild.

It would be nice to hear what they plan to do for server rules on Aradune.... sigh...

Based on previous TLPs, the first three guilds to start recruiting BEFORE the server launches tends to vacuum up a huge chunk of the player base, however they also start to hemorrhage those numbers badly once they see other guilds are hitting raid targets for 2-3 weeks in a row and their guild still hasnt

New rules out means that you are only able to play your main and 1 box.

With the rule set being Main + 1 Box there will be a slight edit to Loot Council Rules - Boxes will be treated as if they were their own person, however they can only compete for gear against other Boxes and Recruits. The formula for giving Boxes loot is as follows - No Mains Bid, Boxes RA, Boxes Current Gear, Box Time Since Last Upgrade

No other classes have any attendance threshold.
