Raid Information:

We operate as if all of our members are mature adults. As such, we often give constructive criticism for times when players aren't performing up to our standards and we see an area in which a player could improve on. Please take this as us trying to better the entire guild instead of personally attacking you.
The only person that is designated to give direction during raids are the officers. All others are inquiries/suggestions. While we do generally like when members have suggestions to improve our strategies (so please be open about them!), remember that they are just
suggestions and shouldn't be expected to be put in place at that time.
Chatting in Ventrilo and general chat during raids is very open! We are a pretty relaxed guild and like to have fun; feel free to talk/joke around about anything as long as it doesn't interfere with our current boss fight. While we are working on a boss, keep your input short and only regarding the current boss.
We use our time wisely. We try and raid our entire time schedule, but realize that there are some times where we must stop early if the night isn't going as well as expected. Do not suggest to end the raid! Our leaders will determine when the best time to stop
raiding for the night will be.
Have complete trust in your officers and treat them with respect! They have this position for a reason. Please give them the benefit of the doubt and believe that they are running the raid (whether on farm or learning status) for the best possible success based on our past strategies and experiences that have worked for us. If you do not agree with something our raid leader discusses, then please talk to the guild master or that raid leader while remaining civil.
We will very rarely ever use anything other than Master Loot (it is not a guild trust issue, it just creates less loot problems in the long run). When we don't, please don't loot any epics until directed by an officer. As well, please do not open or activate items, or talk to any NPC in dungeons.
Riders of the Horde members are required to be active players. Anyone found to be inactive for more than 1 week without reason will be demoted or removed from the guild. Under obvious emergency circumstances this can be reversed after discussing such cases with guild leaders. If you must be inactive in the guild for more than two
weeks, please be aware we may put you as a guest.
Make sure you are 100% ready to start raiding straight away. Have Ventrilo installed, having boss mods and all “guild required” raid addons at the ready. Food, Flasks, repair money and everything in terms of PvE knowledge. If there are bosses you have yet to see in the game make sure you read up on those boss guides. You can also try to find good quality boss movies that you can watch to see what’s what.
Finally, when the time comes and you get a trial spot, it’s on! You will now need to perform your butt off. Make sure you always play your best, whether you are 1st or 10th on DPS/HPS meters it doesn’t really matter as much as being an overall good player. Pushing more HPS and DPS is something you can learn in no time, but being a player who dies on voids or stands in fire will get you nowhere! Try to avoid conflicts, if something is bothering you or you have an issue with another member, make sure to settle it right away. This is common, but in some cases little things get out of hand and might cause unneeded drama. During the trial period you should try to be as active as possible, even if you aren’t used to playing long sessions. It will show the guild leaders that you are an active player and, most importantly, a reliable one. Keep doing what you’re doing and you should pass your trial, but don’t slack around after you have become a regular member. Always be prepared and make sure you play at the highest level whether it's farm content or progression raids.
