Recruitment is open!

Recruitment

Ensure you read this post in it's entirety as the anti spam question that you need to answer at the end is within this text.

Do you hunger for progress? Do you enjoy raiding in a well-oiled machinery with people who give their best? Then Loot FTW might be something for you. Now and then we need to replace someone among our ranks, and on this page you can send us your application. Even if we aren't recruiting all applications are welcome for later consideration.

Minimum requirements to become a trial of Loot FTW are the following:

1) Have control of your play time. This means that you can play from 1900 Server time until midnight, sometimes later and won't have mommy knocking on your door telling you to turn the lights off.
2) Have good command of both written and spoken English and communicate on Ventrillo when required.
3) Extensive PvE experience.
4) Suffice to say, optimal enchanting/gemming. Your character should be the best it possibly can be given your current situation. Not bothering to farm an item etc; is not a valid excuse.
5) Goes without saying that you should have a reasonable supply of cash and consumables. Raiding can get expensive and during progress you might not have the time to farm any consumables you might need.
6) Respect for your fellow guild members, you don't have to like them, but respect is very important.
7) Honesty, if you fuck up, then you fuck up. It happens. Admit it.

At this point i'll reitorate that your application is PRIVATE and only the officers can read it.

Before you make your application I advise you follow these simple instructions.

* Copy the titles of the questions and "prepare" your application in a text file or word document first, so that you can check it, spell check it and if the forum monester eats it then you can easily resubmit it.
* Write as much as possible, the best way to do this is to assume that we have no idea about your class, role and what you do in raids, you can include things like your dps rotation, healing priorities, what stats you value etc; This way we can see what you value as important. Bear this in mind when linking combat log links. We want to see things that you think and feel are pertinent.
* If you feel that there is something that you need to clarify on your application with one of the officers, You should put it in your application and not contact someone in game. If something changes then PM one of the officers on the forum and it will get updated.
* The answer to the antispam is Five (Write it as a number, not a word).

Fill out every box where possible. They are there because we want to know the information. If the box/field doesn't apply to you, then write in there that it doesn't apply to you.

Combat logs. We are not here to hold your hand and the "noone did it" or "what is this" is a pretty good way for your application to be not concidered. You can easily do combat logging yourself and it doesn't cost anything. So whats the problem? If playing well was your focus in this game you would use combat logs. You are applying here most likely because we are better than where you are and it is your responsibility as a raider to contribue and improve the performance of your raid as much as possible by any means available to you. Combat logs are a very powerful analytical tool. USE THEM!

Screen shots. These actually tell us a lot about you as a player and what you value as a player. We ask for a screenshot because we want to see it. The screenshot should be in a raid environment (10 or 25) and ideally in combat. We don't expect you to have a pretty UI or anything like that. Just something that is effective. Default action bars etc; are perfectly acceptable. Tell us why you place the UI elements where you do! Thats why we have a "is there anything else you'd like to add" box.

Your application is the first we see of you and in most cases, the last. It should say to us "OFMG this guy/girl/thing is awesome, really knowledgeable, knows the game inside and out, has good logs" (Believe it or not, DPS values isn't really somethign we look at in logs, show us the stuff you think we look at.)


If you have any issues with your application and absolutely must talk with someone, contact Lynelle ingame, or send him a forum PM on Phantasus.
DO NOT CONTACT HIM DIRECTLY in game unless asked.




Please do not contact anyone in the guild about the status of your application until at least 2 weeks have passed.
If we are intrested in recruiting you, chances are we will contact you within a week. Sometimes it takes us a little longer when the requirement for the class is not that urgent.
Waiting 2 weeks shows us that you can be patient when needed and that you can follow instructions.

NOTE: Putting some effort into your application will make it stand out from others - less is not more. Additonally we do not have the manpower to reply to applications we don't see potential in at this moment.
