READ BEFORE YOU APPLY

[sHuUHeI]

• READ OUR WEBSITE. READ THE STICKIES. READ THE POLICIES. READ THE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS.
• Nocturnal is a raiding guild, filled with raiders. Do not apply if you have little intention of showing up to raids, and showing up prepared. Expect to spend 100g in potions and repairs every night. If you don't know what particular preparations it takes to raid, you're probably not who we're looking for.
• Specs. Our focus is wholly PvE. We have no interest in your PvP spec, nor will you be especially welcome in raids. WOTLK has granted everyone a little bit more leniency regarding the roles of different classes in raids, but do not mistake leniency for a shot at free loot or for a misunderstanding of your limits. Non-traditional roles may require you to prove yourself more than traditional ones. No one is discouraged from applying, but understand that it is not acceptable to come to a raid and do a "decent" amount of DPS. If you cannot compete with players in a similar role as yourself, then we will find someone who can.
• Raid spots are limited. The downsizing of raids has been a boon to the group as a whole, but can sometimes mean that individuals are forced to sit out, especially for particular encounters which require stacking the raid a certain way. If you are not willing to take turns on encounters as needed based on attendance and available classes, this is not the raid for you. Many of us have raided together for 2 or more years now and have made sacrifices for each other on a weekly basis, if that's not acceptable then I'm sure you can find a guild that wants to hear you whine. On a nicer note, we do take notice of players who voluntarily sit out for a more effective class/player and who maintain their availability for the evening, even if they are not called upon.
• Loot. You're probably not going to get it. If loot is the only reason you're interested in raiding with us, this is not the guild for you. 25-man raid loot is handled via EPGP, which means you will need to participate in multiple raids on a consistent and competent basis before some pieces of loot are available to you. I don't care how badly you want something, odds are VERY good that there are 10 people who have put in more work than you and been here longer than you and also want it. C'est la vie. If that's not ok, tough.
• IF YOU WANT to join Nocturnal to get carried through content, you're not who we're looking for. We want raiders that are going to be okay with sitting in a chair for 3 hours wiping on a boss that "should be easy" because someone else is doing something stupid. That's how progression raiding works. If you're not okay with that, don't bother applying.
• ON A SIMILAR NOTE, if you're significantly behind our team in gear and/or experience, you're probably not who we're looking for. Feel free to apply anyway if you like, but don't be surprised when your application is turned down. We simply can't afford to bring people to the raid who aren't going to be able to pull their weight.
• IF YOU DON'T THINK researching your spec is important, you're not who we're looking for. You are not the greatest, shining example of your class. The DPS that are always at the top of the meters, the healers that can pull something directly out of their ass and save the entire raid in two GCD's, and the tanks that never die no matter what you throw at them all got there by researching and comparing their ideas to others. If you aren't going to put in the time to research your class and spec to make sure you're doing everything the best you can, we're not going waste our time by inviting you to the guild.
• IT SHOULD GO without saying, but if you don't have the best possible gems and enchants on all of your gear, you're not who we're looking for. I wish I didn't have to say that, but there it is. I don't care if you think you're getting an upgrade soon (hint: if you're just joining Nocturnal, you're probably not). I don't care if it's only a 2 spellpower difference and you wanted to save the gold. If you're going to apply, put your best makeup on.
• IF YOU DON'T FEEL like working for your raid spot, you're not who we're looking for. We won't give you an invite just because you haven't gotten one in a while. We won't rotate out our best players in order to make sure the worst players get some playtime. Sorry. If you want to raid, you need to make yourself a better choice for that raid slot.
• IF YOU THINK showing up on time, repairing your gear, and having proper consumables are optional, you're not who we're looking for. I don't want to waste 20 minutes of our raid time while you go buy more flasks because you didn't feel like logging in until 10:30pm sharp.
