Following a recent dispute over raid loot (despite the person who made the complaint actually winning the item), let me just clarify guild policy:

Xephyr, Guild Master

We seem to be losing concentration during raids - people not listening to instructions, doing their own thing, constantly questioning, etc. If we want to progress, then we need to put a stop to that and start working as a team. We might get away with a bit of sloppyness in a 10 man raid, but that's likely to lead to a wipe in heroic raids. Please remember the following when raiding (both 10 and 25 man):

1) Ensure you sign up in plenty of time. Don't log in 5 minutes before the raid is due to start and ask if there's a spot for you. It's highly likely there won't be (especially in 10 man). The team is normally picked the day before the raid, so sign up as soon as possible

2) Make sure you prepare properly. See the news article about raid preparation for more details.

3) The raid leader is in charge. Do not keep asking if the raid can do this or the raid can do that if the raid leader has already said otherwise. A good example is OS - if the raid leader says that no drakes are going to be left up, do not keep asking if we can leave one up.

4) During a boss fight, cut out the chatter. The only person you should hear during a boss fight is the raid leader. The exception to this rule is if you are affected by a special attack in a boss fight - for example if you're ice blocked when fighting Kel'Thuzad just say your character name followed by "ice blocked".

5) The loot master is in charge of distributing the loot. Do not question the loot master. Your list is not the same as their list. Just because you are number 24 on the raid list does not mean you are number 24 on the loot list. The loot list can change order. You might be number 24 on 1 boss but number 22 on the next boss but only the loot master can see that.

Any person who continually questions or argues with either the raid leader or loot master will be warned about their behaviour. They will only get ONE warning. If it happens again they will be expelled from the guild and will not be allowed to return.

As previously announced, we will be using a DKP system for looting in heroic raids. You can earn DKP in official guild raids (both 10 and 25 man), but you will only need to spend it in 25 man raids - for 10 man we will still be rolling. For the record, an official guild raid is one that has been posted on the website.

We've tried a couple of DKP methods in the past few weeks, with varying success (and apologies for messing people around), trying to get a system that works and is fair to all but also gives greater chances of loot to those who put the work in - you cannot just not bother doing 10 man raids and expect to turn up to your first 25 man raid and walk away with 2-3 epics whilst those who've been raiding for weeks/months and really trying to improve themselves walk away with nothing. You still might get gear, but you'll have more chance if you've been doing the 10 mans as well.

The rules for the new DKP system are as follows:

1) The loot master will start an auction for an item, and there will then be up to 3 rounds of bidding, each round will be 25 seconds long. Bidding will take place by whispering the loot master with /bid followed by the bid amount (e.g. to make a bid of 200 DKP, whisper the loot master with "/bid 200"). You can only see your own bid, not other players, but the highest bid will be announced at the end of each round of bidding so you know what you're bidding against. However, the loot master can see all bids (because you are whispering them). For this reason, if an item drops that the loot master is interested in the auction will be performed by another officer. At the end of the 3rd round of bidding, the winning bidder and bid will be announced and the item will go to the winning bidder.

2) Bidding will only happen for epic items, blues will be raid rolled as per usual. There will be a minimum bid for different types of items as follows:

Normal items (head, shoulders, off hand, 1h weapon, etc) = 50 DKP
2h weapons = 75 DKP
Tier tokens = 100 DKP

A person will only be allowed to bid if they have a minimum of 50 DKP, as that is the lowest amount that an item could go for (this is not difficult to achieve, doing 2 quarters in Naxx will give you 80 DKP). If a person bids less than minimum DKP and wins, they will still receive the item but will be charged the minimum amount for that item.

3) Only dkp earned prior to the raid can be used for bidding. If you bid more dkp than you have in order to outbid another player, your bid on that item will be disqualified (e.g. if you have 300 dkp and bid 500 dkp then your bid will be invalid and not counted) and the second highest bid will be the winning bid. However, if you are the sole bidder and and bid more DKP than you have, you will be allowed to take the item at the cost of all the DKP you currently have and all DKP earned within this raid - you will only be allowed to do this once per raid at most.

4) A player can bid on as many items as they can afford, there will be no restrictions.

5) Any player leaving the guild will lose all DKP they have earned. The only exceptions will be if they only leave for a short period and have a good reason (e.g. just for 5 minutes while they help a friend) or if they have an alt that they are leaving in the guild and ask to have the DKP transferred to that character. In either case, they will need to agree the details with an officer BEFORE taking the character out of the guild or they will lose all DKP. No exceptions.

Following our first successful foray into heroic Naxx, the officers have agreed rules for future heroic raids:

1) A minimum be.imba score of 375 is required before you can join a heroic raid with the guild. Check yourself out on http://be.imba.hu or we have done a spreadsheet (which may be out of date or incomplete) http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p_9b72RaMwxO8nz1MeGQqaA.

2) We will not be rolling for loot in heroics, DKP will be used instead. You can build up DKP in both the 10 and 25 man raids and you can check how much DKP you have on the website. This means that the more effort you put in, the more chance you have of winning that nice sword/chest/helm/whatever when it drops. Note: we will not allow negative DKP, you can only spend as much as you've earned. There will be NO exceptions

3) Website calendar is to be used for all raids. If you have difficulty signing up then please let an officer know.

4) We will not allow people with a lot of low level items or missing enchants to join ANY raid. We've had people with TEN missing enchants wanting to come raiding with us. This is COMPLETELY unacceptable and will no longer be tolerated. There are enough active enchanters, jc's, blacksmiths, leatherworkers, etc in the guild that will provide their services for free if you provide the mats. Lack of money is no excuse either, a level 80 can potentially make over 300g a day doing dailies, so go out and do some if you need the money.

5) Buff food and pots can (and often do) make the difference between a wipe-fest and a successful raid, even in 10 man raids, so make sure you bring them and use them (and don't forget to re-buff if we happen to wipe). Again, there are alchemists and cooks in the guild with a high enough skill to make just about anything if you bring the mats (food's really easy as you don't even have to buy anything, just go out and farm).

We're not trying to pick on people or put anyone off with these rules, we believe they are necessary to allow the guild to progress and to make things fair for the people who put the effort in. You can't expect people to drag you through Naxx if you don't make any effort to sort your own gear out, but if you do sort your gear out, you won't be being dragged through, you'll be pulling your weight and when everyone does that, that's when things go well. Go and do heroics, get rep gear, anything you can to get yourself ready for Naxx, then get in there and give them hell! Hope to see as many people as possible in there.

The Management :)
