Pick up Raid Rules
A raid requires the utmost attention and coordination to make it a success, here are some simple guidelines to follow.
Arrive on time at the scheduled place ready to go. This means have enough food and water along with any items you may need.
Always defer to the commands of the raid leader. He has gone through a lot of trouble to plan the raid, and though the reason he may be asking you to do something is not obvious, there is a reason.
Do not snivel and whine about the group you are assigned to. See the previous paragraph.
You may nor may not get experience on every raid we plan. Accept it. Many raids will be planned with the intent of helping a fellow guild-mate achieve his or her own goal. Consider that by helping out you are helping increase the power of the guild overall.
Do not wander around on a raid. Keep close to your group and follow the commands of your group leader.
Consider obtaining your own map for the zone we are raiding in. It will greatly facilitate the raid leader and help the raid go off as a success.
Loot Policies
A raid is not an opportunity for members of the guild to line their pockets. It is an opportunity to maybe obtain that item you have been seeking, interact with your guild members, and just have fun. Looting Rights on any raid will be assigned at the raid leaders discretion.
All platinum drops on a raid are property of the guild. These monies will go to the guild bank to help facilitate future raids. Look up the section about the guild bank for further information. Anyone assigned looting rights is expected to give the raid leader any platinum drops you may have collected over the course of the raid, no exceptions. Not doing so is considered, for all intents and purposes, to be stealing from the guild and automatic grounds for dismissal.
Any gems, jewelry or pages are also considered guild property. They will either go to the guild bank for spells, spell research, or to be sold.
Special items are specifically need before greed. If more than one person has need for any item it is rolled upon. We expect honesty in this, if you truly do not need the item, do not tell us you do. Need does not entail your alts!!!! Only the need of your character attending the raid is weighed into this. Any special items that no one particularly needs, but still is desirable to have, will be rolled upon. This will be an open roll for anyone who wants to. Items that are not needed nor desired by anyone in the guild will go to the guild bank. Again, read more about the guild bank on the guild bank page. Final authority on all special items will rest with the raid leader, or in his absence the Chancellor or any officer of the guild.
Some raids will be planned with the intent of acquiring a certain item for a certain guild member. Obviously the item in question will go to that member. Do not complain about this or insist we roll for it, instead contact the raid leader and suggest we do it again so you may get the item.
Finally, a raid is an experience that allows all of us to work on our coordination and teamwork, please be mindful of this. Most importantly, a raid is a chance to see new places and do new things, so have fun with it.
Listen carefully to the raid leader. Some raids have a LOT of things that need to be said before it is started. Once the raid leader starts giving instructions, raid chat will be kept clear of all chat of any kind. Raid leader will be talking only. When this time comes pay close attention to what is being said as ultimately the success of the raid depends on it. If you have a question or are unsure of anything ask your grp leader or Class leader. RL's are usually extremely busy and it just takes away time when they have to answer all kinds of questions that could be answered by numerous other ppl.
For pick up raids, we will use random rolls for drops. Need before Greed still stands. If the item is an upgrade for a main and an alt the main gets item over alt. Be advised that once we have enough members in the guild and a big enough raid force we will be using DKP. ANYONE who needs the item will be able to roll, even if they are too low to use the item yet.
Know what is going on. Do not just come into the zone and expect the raid leaders to dish you all the info every time. RL's will give out basic info such as: damage type, resists needed, AE's, mob resists, specific placements things of that nature. You should become familiar with each raid on your own so that basic things are known, such as do the mobs respawn, is there a lockout timer, is it safe to invis, will AE's be a problem etc..
Do not ninja AFK. If you MUST go AFK make sure you make it BLATENTLY OBVIOUS to your group AND the raid AND turn on your AFK tag using /afk. If you fail to do this, you most likely will be left behind with no remorse should you die. Grp leaders are responsible for the whereabouts of your grp. It is much easier to ask a grp leader if all are there than asking the entire raid.
Clickies and Hailing. Inside of pretty much every raid zone there is some kind of "clicky". Unless you have been SPECIFICALLY told to click or hail something, DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING, WHATSOEVER, AT ANY TIME. If it's a clicky for some kind of quest update, we will let you know when it?s safe to click. Until then DO NOT CLICK OR HAIL ANYTHING.
Never get ahead of the MT/Raid Leader when going through zones. Unless you wish to die horribly with no remorse you should stay behind the MT/Raid leader at all times. If the MT/Raid Leader stops, you stop behind him. Chances are there was a reason for the stoppage. The Raid Leader will let you die if you get ahead of me and piss off a mob you shouldn't have. Even if you know exactly where the Raid may be headed please follow this rule and stay behind the RL. Lots of zones have "traps" spread throughout, the MT/RL's know where these traps are, but chances are most others do not. STAY BEHIND THE MT/RL at all times.
There will be many times when we are trying something for the very first time (possibly even the 10th time). In these instances you need to have patience and understanding for everything that is going on. EXPECT multiple wipes as various strategies and tactics are worked out and or refined. It will be frustrating for all involved but more so the RL. If we don't put enough effort into something for the first time then the next time we come back things will be the exact same. If you have a problem with wiping numerous times on something new, or even something old for that matter, let the RL know so that you can be replaced with someone without these issues.
ALWAYS assist the MA at all times. You can target the MA directly to assist that way or type in /assist __________. Do not take it upon yourself to "help out" and kill the little buddy off to the side. It just makes things longer. The Raid Leader will more than likely let you die if I notice you are attacking something you shouldn?t be. Be sure to "Re-assist" NUMEROUS TIMES throughout the fight as well. Depending on what the fight is and who is MA a lot of time the MA will be switching targets.
Do not flame, harass or anything of the likes while raiding. If somebody does something wrong, or messes up, handle it professionally. If whatever someone did really pisses you off let an officer know so they can deal with it. If you are caught flaming or generally harassing someone else, chances are good that?ll you won?t be raiding with us for awhile. Respect can go a long way in this game. Treat others how you wish to be treated.
Raid rules are subject to change as issues arise. Do not expect to read this once and know what you are doing out there. Continue to check back for new/updated raid rules, especially if the raid leader announces a need to change something.
ADDED
No pets unless you have permission from the raid leader or you have pet hold aa.
Please remember your invis, shrink, lev and other potions that you need. Shrink will be required in tight places when there are a lot of people on the raids.
Added:
On a regular schedule raid members will earn dkp. Please see DKP policy to understand our dkp system better. |
