Hi Everyone Saw your recruiting post on WoW Forums and decided to take a closer look.... My boyfriend and I may be leaving are current server/guild mainly due to a huge population decrease and partially due to the lack of respect shown between guild members. So we are currently just putting a list of optional guilds/servers together, in case it gets any worst or we can't handle the arrogance and mistreatment of others anymore. So we were looking at your loot system....SK seems interesting and definitely different... The main question on it...just to verify...does it mean that if you are in raid and show up for every single raid(like we always do) and then someone else that hardly ever shows up for raid wants a piece of gear....that they would have the option to get a piece of gear before us if we already got a piece that night, even though they rarely put the time or effort in to get to that progression point? Which also raises the question based off your statistics....how progression or casual minded are you?
Everything else we saw about your guild we like, hince the post. I personally like that people would be willing to do achievments...I am an Achievment whore and can never find people to do anything Plus, while we are progression minded, we feel that others definitely need a good since of humor...otherwise we would probly just all cut each others throats....lol.
Thank You for your time and have a wonderful day

Hey Zepheara. I think that your assessment is accurate as far as some "part-timers" coming to a raid and getting something you wanted, IF you had bid and won something that same night. Generally our philosophy has always been that you are only really going to be able to "bank" on one item with SK. Meaning if there was something you really wanted you would save that bid untill you get it and its a no contest situation for you.

Some things that arent obvious from the outside looking in:
if someone does not attend a raid they do not "progress" up the ladder, they hold the position they had while everyone leap frogs them if they are attending the raid.
We have a lot of interesting folks in Inquisition that listen and take note of peoples desires - not that you should bank on those peoples good will - but still it has played factors in loot distribution to a large extent in our guild - and likely always will. A loot master will never ignore a roll - but who says everyone has to roll for an item if your buddy needs it more?
SK is by no means compareable to a DKP system in that it rewards only those who attend all the time and shuts out the part time raiders from a fair shot at an item. Not that we encourage part-timers but we werent married to the idea of alienating anyone for not being hard core.

We chose SK intentionally for a few reasons:
1. it does reward those that come regularly - since they get items frequently and also allows them to focus on specific items they want (Hexx is always coming for example - not-so inside joke)
2. it also gives those that raid semi infrequently a shot at items they are set on.
3. it is has an emphasis on "fairness" similar to a /roll system to some extent
4. low maintenance - yes we are hella lazy - but to be honest things just dont always get tracked correctly and not a lot of people who have busy lives can follow that as it needs to be.


I think looking at a couple of the videos provided by tankspot on youtube a while back sort of helped us understand and feel like this was a good loot system fit for us. We do reserve the right to make changes to the loot system provided we have consensus - but not without running it through the guild forums first.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Will keep you guys in mind

oops - i missed your progression minded versus casual.

We wiped for 2:30hrs on a particularly effing frustrating boss who likes to hurl icecubes around, and this was the 3rd week lockout to do the same thing. I think we are dedicated but not totally masocistic. Lets see what others think about that though.

I belive we are dedicated to being masocistic. And Binn nice joke about Hexxy

Thanks Zeph for taking the time to look us up. Any other questions about us just ask!
