The Tribe

The official mission of The Tribe is to create a team of people who not only genuinely enjoy and respect each other, but are also capable of being successful in the highest level of any end-game PvE content. This means that the majority of The Tribe's leadership focus, resources, and energies will be applied to maximizing our end-game PvE capabilities while keeping it sociable and enjoyable for the people who are dedicated to the guild's success in this area.

Players whose individual goals do not match up with those of The Tribe (e.g. people whose only reasons for playing are purely social, to play one or more lower-level characters, to PvP, etc.) are still welcome, but they should understand that their membership in the guild is purely for friendship purposes - help with lower-level content or support for Battlegrounds play will be secondary to the guild's organizational focus on high-level PvE content.

Over the course of the guild's lifetime, many people have posed the question: is The Tribe a family guild or a raiding guild? This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on the questioner's definitions of "family" and "raiding" guilds. Our official answer is that The Tribe is a raid-capable family guild. The Tribe does not engage in what most WoW players would consider "hardcore" behavior, such as limiting the number of characters from each class in the guild, removing players due to lack of skill, mandatory attendance for certain events, etc. It is also our goal to keep the roster well-stocked with fun, honest, good-natured players regardless of their skill or the frequency with which they choose to play. However, The Tribe does want to give its members a reason to keep playing after hitting the level cap - namely, to experience the challenges of all of the PvE content within the game and to succeed against those challenges. With that goal in mind, our leaders are sometimes called upon to strike a delicate balance between equal opportunity and practicality. All members and prospective members should be aware that while the guild's leadership is committed to inclusion and fairness, sometimes people's individual wants and needs have to be set aside for the overall good of The Tribe. This may mean, for example, that under specific circumstances a member might be asked to sit out of a raid that they really want to attend so that The Tribe has a greater chance to succeed. It is the leadership's goal and strong desire to ask its members for these sacrifices as infrequently as possible. The leadership is not exempt from making these sacrifices.
