UI
Upload UI: 
Which addons do you consider essential and why?: 
Mods are a necessity in raiding as they definitely make everything easier. I recently downloaded the pack on your website and their wasn't much different from what I use.
PvE
Raid Experience: 
I have some experience with old world raiding, mainly Blackwing Lair and Molten Core. However the bulk of my experience is in Outland where I joined a guild called Stoic and at our highest reached 225 in the US killing Illidan. I shortly left that server to Gorgonnash to play with a childhood friend who had played with Unrivaled Dominion for a long time. I cleared all of Naxxramas and the first half of Ulduar upon its release before I took an 8 month hiatus for the game. I am just trying to get back in the game.
Personal
What timezone are you in?: 
Canada/Ontario
Tell us a little about yourself.: 
I am currently in my fourth year of University studying Biological Sciences with hopes of doing relief work overseas. I enjoy partying with all my buddies but during the summer the town I live in is pretty dead so shouldn't be a problem.
Open/Closed:

Hello sir or madam, and

Hello sir or madam, and welcome to the Downfall recruitment process. If you fancy a quick invite, have thin skin, or like purps over people then don't waste your time reading what follows, just press on now.  If you are a skilled player, or even a player in need of a little molding, and you have time to dedicate to dead bosses, and to a community of people that do more together then play a video game, then here's a few things for you.

Recruitment Process

Step 1 Application :
Well you've already completed this step by taking the time to complete our lengthy application.  Some think it's silly, we have documented proof that it easily weeds out the douchebags before wasting too much of our time.

Step 2 Who are you? :
Type /join dfrecruit in game.  This will put you in our global chat channel for recruits.  You'll find lots of Downfall members in that channel often shouting for people for random heroics.  This will get your name out there, let people get to know you.  The more people you get to know, the more people will begin to comment on your application, and thus keep it "alive"

Until you start to get comments from those who excel in your class, or those who have nice/not so nice things to say about you as they get to know you, it's up to YOU to keep your application active, it's not just a matter of posting and never coming back, we are a website oriented guild, get used to using it.

Step 3 Raid Tryouts :  Raid : mAlt opens up slots for raid performance tests.  We parse these events and can see you in action before we bring you into a 25 man progession raid.  For more info on mAlt and raid times/sign ups: /raidgroup/malt

Step 4 Be There :
Be online during 25 man progression raid times, its even better if you're on from start to finish, since people will DC mid raid.  If you're apping to raid, it's a long and grueling process.  We DO need consistant skilled players for both 25 man raids, and you're not the only person trying to get that spot.  What we like to see is our apps posting on the raid events that they are available to fill in on a given night.  Then if you've posted that you're going to be on that night, make sure to shout our a reminder in dfrecruit just as raid is about to start just to let us know you're on. It may be weeks, it may be months before you see action, but you may end up with a spot the first time you join the recruit channel. 

We have TWO 25 man progression raids:
Raid : Kitten Brigade /raidgroup/kitten-brigade   Mon - Wed 6:30 - 10:00
Raid : Salmon /raidgroup/salmon   Tue - Thu  6:00 - 9:00

Well that's what you can expect for the next few weeks/months.  We've had applicants that have waited over 3 months for an invite, we've invited people within a few days, every situation is different. So get you're name out there, get some comments, and good luck to you!

You prolly should have waited to apply and worked to get your character up to date and back on track. You being in naxx gear, having blue gems and no experience doesn't really help anyone:/ You would be worthless to a 25/10man. It really doesn't take long to get 232, 245 and even 251 gear if you put alot of effort into it. Then again with Downfalls recruiting system you should have about a lifetime to fix up your character before getting a G-invite , and we are a community not just a raiding guild but I don't think you'll be doing much raiding with us anytime soon, maybe just a cool guy to run heroics with? :P
