Who We Are - Simple Math
Simple Math is an end-game raiding guild focusing Sunwell progression. We raid 4-5 nights per week from 7pm to 12am server time (EST). Our progression raids are typically Monday-Thurs while Sunday is sometimes a “farm” night for Black Temple. Most importantly, we treat WoW as a game, not a job or life. We want to excel and play with like-minded individuals who share our goals and expectations but temper this enthusiasm with the understanding that this is just a game.
What We Expect From You
Gear
All applicants should be near or at their “ideal” setup pre-Sunwell. If you have gear that could be upgraded any means, you should strongly consider getting those items before applying, or advise your status on them in your application. We are not fixated on gear and could make exceptions, but we are interested primarily in applicants who can help us raid NOW, not after we gear them up.
Personality, Intelligence and Effort
Most people in this guild are fairly friendly but are not very forgiving of mistakes or lack of skill. We expect you to learn from your mistakes and to own up to them. If you can’t deal with criticism, a loud & offensive Ventrilo environment, or if you make the same mistakes many times, don’t apply. You will be expected to play your class on the edge of what it is capable of doing. We are some of the best players in the world and are not looking to pick up new dead weight. You should be pushing it to the limit on all progression content for efficiency as well as WWS. If you are not putting 110% into a raid, expect to be sat for someone who is.
Attendance
Players should attend a minimum of three raids per week and post on our forums when they can not make a raid. We can work around most people’s schedules as long as the officers know about it beforehand. We understand that real life issues happen and our happy to accommodate you, but we need the lines of communication open. If you tend to disappear for lengthy periods for no apparent reason, don’t expect a raiding spot when you return.
Hardware/Software
All applicants must have a stable connection to the internet that allows them to use WoW and Ventrilo simultaneously. You must have a microphone that does not feed back and be able to talk on vent. If you frequently disconnect or have an issue with speaking or listening using Ventrilo, do not apply. We do not require any mods other than the most recent version of the Omen threat meter (please update before every raid) and a boss mod of sorts (RBM or Bigwigs preferred).
What You Can Expect From Us
Loot
We distribute items via Officer Loot Council. This means that there are no DKP to track, no rolls (unless we decide to have certain players roll) and no randomness. We assign the loot where we believe it will do the most good for the guild and to reward players for dedication and skill.
Raid Slots
We do not recruit backups or bench-warmers. Some fights require raid stacking - please be ready to sit or respec depending on the fight. If there is a piece of loot you need, make sure an officer knows and we’ll work you in at some point.
Repairs, Consumeables, etc.
Because we are the leading progression guild on our server by a wide margin, we have the ability to offer benefits to our members, such as guild bank repairs, as well as all the raid consumables, enchanting materials, and gems that you will need.
