New Raider Application Proposal

Daghi · Post by **Daghi** » March 4th, 2009, 3:18 pm

Edit: LOL POSTED IN THE WRONG SECTION It's really just a couple tweeks on the old app but I really feel there's a need to have separate apps in order to lessen confusion when people apply for different reasons. Suggestions are welcome. There's a couple stickys (I'm thinking specifically of the "Before you apply READ THIS FIRST") that could use some updating too. Name:
IRL Age:
Character Name:
Class:
Level:
Main Spec:
Off Spec:
Trade skills:
PvP or PvE focus (what spec will you raid with)?

Have you read and do you understand the "Before you apply -- READ THIS FIRST!!!" sticky post in this forum?

Please also read "New Ranking System"
Do you understand that if you are accepted you will be given the Trial Raider rank?

What is your raid experience?

Why did you leave your previous (current) guild?

Does anyone in our guild know you?

How many alts do you have and is this your main?

What are your play times?

What of our raid times would you be able to make?

Would you be willing to sit out if it is necessary without a fuss?

Have you spent proper time and money into your gear / enchants / gems?

What potion/elixir consumables will you bring to a raid (be specific)?
What food consumables will you bring to the raid (be specific)?

What is the (spell) hit your class needs to be viable in a raid?

What is your favorite boss fight and why? What boss haven't you fought that you're looking forward to the most?

What boss mod do you use?

What website do you use to read up on encounters proactively?

Anything you want to tell us?

Link your armory profile ---

Anything I missed or you want to tell us?

Would also like to see the question added:

"What would you do if a black spot appeared below you in a raid?"

But, what if the spot is red?

If it's misshapen you really should have that looked at right away ... But if there is hair growing out of it, you're probably fine.

I don't know Lonara so I'm not defending her or anything. But I think her answers in the recruitment thread show how the application needs a little clarification. Maybe something like:

Members (or "Raiders") are expected to bring consumables to raids. In the following categories what consumable would you bring and why?
- Flask/(2)Elixir
- Well Fed
- Potion

We can strike the "and why?" part at the end if you want to but I feel that instead of sneakily trying to ask them if they know their shit we could actually just ask them if they know their shit. Maybe it's not needed for most classes, but ask them when they plan to use the potion or trinkets or w/e.
