Post Expectations (Please read before applying)
Who we are:
Limited Edition is a quasi hardcore guild with a 3 day raiding schedule. We are dedicated to passionately completing hard-mode raid encounters. We take raid time very seriously because we have very little of it. We are mostly made up of an older crowd of gamers and are largely working professionals and college students. Many of us are married and have kids. We try to maintain a very professional environment. This means there is much less yelling and profanity in game and on vent than you will find in many guilds. We also have very high expectations of ourselves and potential members:

Attitude/Personality

1. Humility. We want people who know how to treat people in the way that you want to be treated. Although we are willing to hear suggestions do not try and tell us how your old guild ran x encounter on your first run with the guild. Watch and listen for a while and then if you have an idea make a suggestion respectfully. Be willing to change the way you play when an officer or member points out things you could improve on. We aren't recruiting you because we don't know how to raid without you. Most people I meet have a higher opinion of their own skill than than is warranted. The best bet for getting better is to know that there is always more to learn.

2. Respect. Respect everyone's time by being on time to raid and being ready to go (shards, pots, repaired, researched the upcoming encounters, etc). Time is a very tight commodity for us. Respect other members ideas and especially be respectful when it comes to loot. There is no shortage of loot to be had and greedy lil dodgers who bid on everything that drops and only think of themselves will be weeded out post-haste. It should go without saying that insulting others or talking in a way that makes those around you uncomfortable is completely out of line.

3. Maturity. Everybody uses this word overly lightly in my opinion. Maturity to me is knowing what's appropriate when. There's a time to joke and a time to focus up. There's a time to take an upgrade and a time to pass for someone else. There's a time to stick your two cents in and there's a time to shut up and learn. If you have this it will show.

4. Patience. Killing new stuff means wiping. A lot. Nobody loves the wiping part but it's part of the game. If this is going to cause you gripe and grumble and moan and whine we don't want you.

5. Time. We do not raid as often as most guilds. Our official raid nights are Wed, Thurs, and Sunday (7:30-11:30 server time). We expect at least 80% attendance but you must also be able to find time to gather your mats and farm for consumables, repair money, 5 man upgrades and attunements outside of raid times. We also expect you to be familiar with an encounter before we do it. We simply don't have the time to explain it anew each night with our limited schedule. Use the many forums and guides as a basis and ask someone else of your class for any details.

Skills
1. Players are expected to understand their class to a reasonable degree. You should be active in improving your timing and spec to make yourself more useful at whatever it is you do. DPS should find a way to do more damage w/o drawing aggro, healers should find ways to heal more and heal longer, tanks should find ways to mitigate more and do more threat, hybrids have to perform several of these tasks and everyone should be maximizing their utility to the group as a whole.

2. Be active in improving your gear. Currently, heading into Wrath there are 10 man raid opportunities and eventually more badge gear of some kind. At the start, gear is less important but once raiding gets going full swing we will not have time to go back and help new probates gear up. If you haven't done your homework and aren't active in finding upgrades for yourself outside of raids it will show in your performance.

Summary
Personality/attitude can not be stressed enough. We will not take a talented player if they don't fit in well with the rest of the guild. At the same time we are here to raid and if you don't share our motivation you're not going to cut it here either.
