First post I’ve read on your blog, and I now intend to go back and read a lot. Maybe everything. This is really incredible and I hope will help me elevate my game. Thanks so much!

Well, yes, it’s for an exceptional raider. Which is the small sphere in which I would be looking at someone looking to join our progression raid team. While we enjoy the social aspect of our guild and have a very healthy friends and family contingency, when someone is applying to join us, we are looking at them under the microscope of how they would perform with our raid team.

Different guilds with differing goals and objectives would (and should!) likely place empahsis on different things, and subsequently different things would cause them to stand out as exceptional in that environment.

Hey Bel,

I picked up a mod called Forte Xorcist that will track when the ICD is up. I use Power Auras to track the time on NG when it procs.

That’s not an exceptional applicant…that’s an exceptional RAIDER. Your only looking at ONE aspect of the game. If the applicant was asking for entry into your normal raiding party, I would agree with all of the above that you said. However, the applicant was asking for entry into a guild…and that makes the question of exceptional; at least to me, different than the answer you have given.

An exceptional guild applicant might include is the person a team player?
Where and what has the applicant done with his professions or has he/she left them at 100 and has never chosen anything that may benefit the guild?
Is the applicant open to helping other guidlies or does he/she have the every man for himself attitude while benefitting from guild run raids and benefits?

Great post Beru. I wondered how you went about tracking the ICD of Nature’s Grace?
