Retired Wotlk/Cata Hardcore Raider LF guild on any EU (English) server

Hi Guys (and girls),

I’m here today to see what kind of interest there is for a retired hardcore raider, I’m going to dip my rod in the water and see if anything worth reeling in bites.

I retired from raiding officially in Tier 12 after the first month or so. However, I went from raiding almost everyday to raiding every other day because of IRL commitments in Tier 11.

My raiding career started in WotLK on Magtheridon-EU when <Ensidia> were still located on that realm. I managed to join a social raiding guild and clear Naxx 25 every week, with a raid comprised of guilds members and PUGs from Dalaran. I got a little more serious towards the end of this tier when I joined a then semi-hardcore raiding guild <Eminence> (I’m still on Magtheridon during this period).

In Ulduar we started to get more serious with our recruitment. We took advantage of the fact that a lot of guilds ranked higher than us were starting to break up and we managed to get a couple of good recruits to bolster our raids and our performances in Ulduar Heroics improved and we managed to kill every boss except for Yogg 0 Lights and Algalon in the 25 man mode before the release of TOGC.

Halfway through TOGC, <Ensidia> left the server and many of the extremely high-ranking guilds on the server left with them or collapsed. We picked up a few more members and within a few weeks we were the number 1 guild on the server. This culminated in us getting the server first Tribute to Insanity which is now a feat of strength and it comes with an exclusive title, “Grand Crusader <name>”.

Going into ICC 25 man, we had high hopes for a top 200 guild finish to the expansion and with a raid now comprised of some of the games best players (they were from the best of the best on the best realm) we felt we had a solid chance. We had a few hiccups during this tier, including moving to a new realm, Trollbane-EU, we finished Lich King Heroic 25 man ranked 178th in the world

Further Achievements Include:

  • Tier 11, Heroic, 10 man - 280th
  • [I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I am] I believe we were only the 20 something guild in the world to complete this.
  • Tier 12, Heroic, 10 man - 156th (overall), 85th (10man)

I was a sub in tier 12 but I was involved with progress on every boss and participated in the final kill of every one other than Heroic Ragnaros, which I think is around the time I totally quit raiding in WoW because of IRL commitments

A little info about myself:

  • 27 years old (English)
  • Mature student studying Electrical & Electronic Engineering
  • Obsessive personality - I am very singly-minded and when I commit to something I get it done
  • I will not settle for 2nd place
  • I can play virtually any caster DPS to a high standard but I’m willing to fill any role.
  • I’m occasionally funny and have a dark sense of humour.
  • I hate sushi

If any high-ranking guilds are in need of a social/sub to their raid and don’t mind gearing me up. Please get in touch with me.

Best Regards
