Find YOUR Awesome Raiding Team

It's an easy question to answer in some ways - Yes, we're always recruiting players who are geared and experienced with the level of content we're currently working on - but the implied question isn't so easy to answer:

If your guild is recruiting, do you think they'd consider recruiting me?

Sure, if the people asking those questions didn't have feelings and memories, it would be easy to give a straight answer, but humans are definitely blessed with both emotion and memory.

Emotion is what encourages us to take offense when someone tells us we're not experienced enough as raiders.

Memory is what discourages us from ever re-applying once we've gained the necessary experience.

It's unfortunate to see people apply too early to a guild that would be great for them later on - and then take it SO personally when they are not recruited at that early time that they never re-apply.

The Raiding Guild Recruitment Series

Thus, the Raiding Guild Recruitment Series idea was born.

In Part One of this video series I went through some of the absolute basics of how the video series was inspired and what a viewer can expect from the rest of the series.

This video as below is Part Two of the series, entitled "Is Your Guild Recruiting?", Part Two.

In this video you are taken through the basic process I go through when someone I'm talking to asks me about whether our guild is recruiting - it's designed to help you review your own character in order to find quick and easy things you can improve before applying to a new raiding guild.

Also, you can use these same strategies to conduct reviews on people who have recently joined the raiding guilds you're eyeing up - knowing the skill and experience level of others who are being recruited can let you know whether you're aiming too low or too high with that particular raiding guild.

Ulduar25 Raid Team Recruiting: Zul'jin, Horde Side

This having been said, the Horde-side raiding guild I'm in IS recruiting Exceptional Applicants.

If you're:

• Someone who values a roster with very little turnover coming or going
• Looking for a long-term raiding home in World of Warcraft
• A relaxed, quiet person whose enjoyment focus is on teamwork and not gear accumulation
• Very experienced with Naxxramas25
• Experiened with Ulduar10/25
• Well-geared in at least your main spec, fully gemmed and enchanted
• Have the best shoulder enchant you can get
• Have maxed out your professions

Then consider putting in an app. Our guild takes cross-server applications but requires a trial run first, so it's best that you commit to your transfer before posting your application.
