Vitare is a guild with a positive attitude and a strong reputation on Barthilas. We expect every member of the guild, raider or otherwise to uphold our standards with no exceptions.
We will not tolerate trash talking about guild members or the guild.
We will not tolerate Ninja'ing of any item regardless of the circumstance.
We will not tolerate abuse of any player, be they in guild or otherwise.
This guild is for mature people who are honestly here to have fun while experiencing end game content. We are not interested in having members who do not agree with this sentiment.
Raiding Expectations
Our guild’s raiding objective is to progress through the 25 Man Cataclysm raiding content both normal and hard modes without spending more than 15 hours per week on raids.
Vitare raid 25 mans 4 nights a week: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Sunday 7:00pm – 10:30pm Server Time. If you are keen to join our raiding team, you must be online and available to play at least three raids per week.
Raiders are responsible for:
- Reading all forum boss strategies
- Enchanting and gemming gear
- Farming all consumables
- Pay for any respecs
- Be online on time for all raid sign ups
To attain and retain “raider” rank, you must:
- Be online for at least 3 Raids per week
- Be online for raid start ready to go
- Be available for the entire raid time
- Notify officers via the forums if you are unable to be online
Raiders are expected to attend all raids when available. If a raider is available online and chooses not to raid then they are showing an obivious disinterest in raiding and will be demoted to casual or removed from guild. The severety of the penalty will be at the officers descretion.
Benefits of Raider Rank
The guild bank will cover repairs during raid time up to 100g per raider.
Fish Feast's or the equivalent will be provided during raids.
Raiders are able to purchase BOE epics and items from the guild bank at half the price it would sell on the Auction House.
