To be clear about this, it isn't Xenophobia. We're just being practical. If you can't communicate effectively due to a language barrier with all the time in the world to look up words you don't know or whatever you have to do, how in the world can you expect to communicate in a raid setting, on the fly, when it's really important? You can't. You don't need to be Shakespeare, but you better be intelligible.
I've said this before, but I will say it again to all new applicants. Please, please take the time to fill the application out carefully. A thoughtful and detailed application is MUCH more likely to be taken seriously than one that isn't.
I've also said before that "I don't know" is a terrible answer to any question we ask you. Let me expound on why that is. This is not a guild for alts, this is not a guild that carries people. We want the best and only the best. People who don't know what they are doing and who consistently preform poorly demotivate other raiders and it has a very negative effect on the raid. We aren't here to teach you how to play your class or how to do boss fights.
I personally spend my own time doing this in my streaming and in my other tutorials, but you shouldn't get the wrong idea. Our raids are meant to be examples to others on how to play at a high level. If you want to raid with us, you should be the kind of player that can share their knowledge with the new players to the server.
We want people who want to compete with each other for the top spot, the best defile drops, the most enrage dispells, the most healing done, whatever. This is the type of guild that should be the ultimate goal of a player looking to do the hardest content in the game, this is not a guild for a player who just started playing and doesn't yet know the mechanics of the fights or their own class's mechanics.
We aren't being elitist here, it's just being realistic. The overall dps and hps required to kill the Lich King on heroic difficulty without using any cheats is very, very high. If you don't have a very firm knowledge of the class you are playing you probably won't be able to pull the kind of numbers we need.
Also, we generally don't use voice communication except sometimes for LK or if we do RS 25H. If accepted you will be expected to go through all of these fights without anyone telling you anything about the fights. We will test you to see how well you really know them. If you don't, that's pretty much the end of your trial with us.
Put some thought into your application when you fill it out or don't waste your time (and ours).
