I wish I could say we were consistant. Our Tuesdays are overfull --- Wednesday/Thursday have been a struggle to get 25 *raiders*. I will defer this post to our mage leaders, but I did have one thing to note -- you only have one decent enchant on your gear. For raid progression sake, I'm tearing my hair out every time I see people not take a food buff -- so neglecting the additional int/spell damage/stam/spell hit/etc. that you could get by enchanting and/or gemming well (I'm assuming those pants are brand new and you just havent gotten around to it) -- seems criminal. I also found it interesting that you're a tailor without any spellstrike/shadowweave ... I'm not trying to hassle you, I just want to make you aware of my expectations if/when you're invited.

If what you were logged out in when I checked was the gear your raid in, well, I'll just assume you were doing some bg's or something. But the pieces that I know you raid in seem to have alright gems in them. Except for the fact you seem really attached to crappy socket bonuses. You seem to understand the importance of hit, hence the 15 hit enchant on your gloves, but going for some of those socket bonuses is not good at all. If you have crafted the spellfire set, I would assume you would be wearing at least the gloves and the belt. If not, the belt of blasting is really easy to get now. Any way, get with me in game if you are serious about joining. I expect a lot out of my fellow mages. Esp those that want to come to raids consistantly. You seem like you are on the right track with your gear, so talk to me in game.

Just in case you check back here, I am not going to go looking for you in game. If you want an invite, I suggest you talk to one of our officers soon. I don't think we would invite you in without a get to know you chat first. Benvolo

After talking it over, we decided that Forged Alliance would not be the best fit for you. We already have a lot of mages that we bring to raids, and they all have more experience and gear than you. Since you want to join to raid, I don't feel that we could offer you any kind of real raiding spot over any of the other mages that we currently bring. Thank you for applying, and good luck in your future guild.
