Raiding is a large of part of this guild. Our goals are to push through the highest level of end-game content that we can without losing ourselves and compromising our guild members along the way. To do this we must enforce a reasonable set of rules and guidelines to both ensure progression and uphold our ideals. Listed in this section is all the individual policies we hold true to ensure these goals are met. If you intend to raid you should be familiar with all of these policies. Keep in mind we do not require raiding nor do we shun players for not raiding or taking a break from raiding. Its open to all but required of none. Raid at you own ability but do so to work with others and not just for yourself. Raiding is a privilege and a responsibility. You are privileged with the ability to raid by your guild and those who raid with and responsible for being mature, reliable and patient with your guild and its raiding progress. We are both proud and happy to raid with you. See you in the dungeon.
Important Raid and Group Information:
- Attendance in Tribe groups or raids is never mandatory.
- If a Tribe member forms a Tribe-only or mixed-guild group, then the forming member gets to determine the rules of engagement for that group (strategy, loot rules, etc.). Other Tribe members must abide by the group leader's decisions and instructions. If a Tribe member is in a group and is uncomfortable with it in any way, then that member is strongly encouraged to leave the group. Remember that open communication is important here - don't be silent and assume when you can ask and know.
- Tribe raids will follow the guild's official Rules of Engagement, which are currently posted in the Tribe's private forums and here in this charter.
- Groups led by Tribe members should be as open-minded and flexible as possible about group composition. Most groups will require a tank and a healer, but try not to exclude guildmates on the basis of their class if at all possible. It is understood that raids may have to be stricter about class balance in order to be successful.
- Don't advertise a group or raid in guild/voice chat or on the forums unless you're willing to invite all the members of The Tribe who meet the minimum requirements for the group or raid. If you're going to pick and choose which guildmates you want to play with (a practice that is discouraged), then use more private means of communication.
