Gonna close this down, dude's "no point in raiding 'til Wrath" attitude sucks.

No point in raiding in Wrath

No point in raiding in Wrath either. That gear's just gonna be replaced in the expansion afterwards.

The Badge trinket is leaps

The Badge trinket is leaps and bounds better for you rather then Timbals, unless you go affliction. As destro you dont do much periodic, if any, DoT damage.

Nofear is a guy from Portland who's wife also plays. Asked him to app.

It doesn't really come across in his app, but he's really drawn to us by our sense of community, especially in the Portland area. Hit us with some feedback here, Nofear :)

Odyssey is a great guild I

Odyssey is a great guild I like it in someway, but I really want to join the large community of people from portland in Downfall. I understand you guys have alot of Warlock and no spot for me and my wife in Hyjal and BT. That's not a problem I don't mind waiting on the bench. I don't have T5 on my lock but I have most Badges Vendor gear and most important of all I know how to play my class. If you want to see how much Dps I can do bring me on a test run sometime.

I see a lot of mention of

I see a lot of mention of raid in your application...and not much mention about those things this guild centers on.

Right now we not only have warlocks coming out of our ears, we also have quite a few warlock applicants that are vying for spots in Downfall.

I hope you will put forth a bit more effort during the application process then you put forth on the application itself.

My first question for you...Odyssey seems like a great guild for someone who wants to raid things of your level. Why would you want to leave that? There are no spots in our MH/BT raid.

Thank you for your

Aidin — Mon, 08/04/2008 - 07:45

Thank you for your application to Downfall. We are not currently recruiting for our 25 man MH/BT/SW raids. This does not mean that your application is or will be rejected. What it does mean, is that you will now be faced with a few tasks.

Downfall is a community first and foremost and a successful raiding guild second. First you need to ask yourself what it is you want from Downfall. If it's a spot in end game raid, and nothing more...then you may want to seek entry into another one of the many guilds on Gorgonnash.

If you desire a strong sense of community then get ready to work for it! When we talk about community, we aren't talking about the type of community that jumps when you say OMGRUNMYALTTHRUVC!!!! We're talking about a group for people who love this game we pour our lives into, people who will run things with you when they have time, people who may have their own special way of contributing to the community.

Now that you have applied (and if my wall of text didn't lose u 2 paragraphs ago), don't just sit there and hope someone will come hunt you down and say "HERE'S YOUR INVITE!!" because that simply will not happen. Those who gain entry into Downfall work for it. Members have waited upwards of 3 months or more to be part of our community. How do you ensure that you have every option to be the next addition?

Here's an idea:

Stay active on this thread, it's your application. You will receive feedback and recommendations. Don't take anything personal, if you can't take constructive criticism, you will never make it in guild chat. Applications are open to the entire community, not just officers, so if you were a douche to a member in the past, be ready for it to bite you in the ass.
If given goals to meet, make them.
Sign up for events you can make and which you are geared for. No need to sign up for MH/BT/SW, as those aren't testing grounds for new members. Focus on the Sunday Gruul/Mag run by yours truly or the Saturday SSC/TK run by Grasen.
If you sign up...show up. No one likes an app who signs up for all raids and never shows. Be sure to send a tell to the raid leader so he/she knows you are available and ready to rock.
Download the raid pack. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT show up to a Gruul/Mag or SSC/TK without our required add ons. If you do not understand what you are looking at, then research it. If you still don't understand, post you're question and someone will help you. (If you think only bad players use mods, we can say our goodbyes right now)
Do everything you can to get your name out there, and show why you should be part of our community. Run 5 mans, Run 10 mans, participate in forum discussions.

If and when you are accepted into Downfall, you are strictly on a trial basis. If we invite you because you convinced us you were the worlds greatest healer/tank/random dps class, and you looooooooooove to run 5 mans...but you never run a thing, you never sign up for fun runs, and you burn out and don't sign on for 1+ months, don't be surprised if you find yourself guildless on log in one day.

It's very simple, don't say what we want to hear just to get in, because it will haunt you in the end. Be honest, and we will be fair.

With that said....GOOD LUCK ON YOUR APPLICATION!
