Divine Retribution is a 14 year old Alliance Guild on Arathor/Hellfire server which has also joined with Kilrogg/Nagrand and Runetotem.
We are a previous Mythic raiding guild, but for Dragonflight we decided to be a little more chill and just HC raid. Oh the price of growing up! However, we seem to not have been able to resist dabbling in Mythic for the first 2 raids of DF, so we joined up with other guilds in a similar situation and raided one night a week, pretty casually. This has suited us very well in Dragonflight, but as a Guild we would like the option to move back to doing Mythic in the new expansion. So this post is to kick that process off by finding more Guildies for HC Fated Raids.
We are looking for new friends to join us in Season 4 Fated raids and M+ and beyond. We are more interested in finding the right people to join our community than the class you play. We are a community not just a Guild and our enjoyment comes mostly from the fun and banter we have with each other. We do not mass recruit, we are very careful about finding the right people.
The Small Print!
Choosing a Guild in wow should be a well considered decision. Choosing people to JOIN our Guild is also something we take seriously. So this post is lengthy so we can set out our stall and not waste your time or ours recruiting the wrong people.
In thinking about what is important when choosing a Guild we have this to offer:
- Well estabished:
We have been around for 14 years, we aren’t going anywhere. So you can be sure of joining a well established Guild.
- Well Organised:
People who join us often comment that they have never been in as well organised and structred a guild. This is kinda important to us. We tend to think that a relaxed fun atmosphere and end-game progression go hand in hand when there is a clear structure behind it and we pride ourselves on being fair.
- Great Atmosphere:
We recognize that this is a game, people have busy lives outside it - so the time we spend here together should be as stress free as possible, should avoid Guild Drama, should give everyone in the guild an opportunity to progress and make friends. I say ‘busy’ rather than ‘real’ lives because here at DR we make real friends, we meet up in ‘real’ life, so for us WoW, although a ‘game’ and not put before our day-to-day lives outside the guild, is a part of our real lives. This spills over into the way we behave with each other. We are not faceless fingers behind a computer screen, so we show each other respect and take an interest in each other. At the same time, we are not a therapeutic community, our Officers are not psychologists, so we also don’t encourage needy, attention-seeking SLS (Special Little Snowflakes). We are just a bunch of well adjusted, mature - lovely people that enjoy playing WoW enormously.
Our ages range between 20 and 50+ and we have members from all over the EU. Our younger players are mature for their age, and our old timers can still shake their stuff! Banter is important, respectful behaviour is a given.
We don’t have a member list of hundred’s and we do like to know everyone in the guild, not have people sign on and be ignored because no-one knows who they are. In order to do this, we keep our recruitment and therefore member roster small. We like to try and keep the same team so that people aren’t sat out.
We have formed some great friendships over the years but we pride ourselves on how welcome we make new friends feel. We have held annual Guild Meetings and these events, while not obligatory, have been enormous fun and really helped build the team atmosphere we are so proud of.
- Personal Responsibility within a team:
We have spoken a lot about the community here at DR and how important Team is to us. We do not kill bosses as individuals. Being part of a team means doing stuff together outside of raids as well as in them. We provide the best environment we can for our raiders, but we are also all adults. Personal responsibility is an expectation - you guys create the atmosphere, the progress, the community.
So what are we looking for?
We want people with a can-do mentality who want to play the game!! People who are looking for a very well organised and structured Guild that revolves not only around its raid progress, but creating a great community to achieve that in.
We raid: (7.45pm for invites, Boss pull @8pm) All times are Server Time.
Wednesday 7.45 -10.00
Sunday 7.45 -10.00
