The TLDR:
---------------------------
- Above all, we seek mature players, preferably adults. Most of us are 24+ years old and hold full-time jobs.
- We seek a guild fit, which is more important to us than your gear. (Content minimums only needed)
- We need healers (immediate) and ranged dps (somewhat immediate). Melee and tanks need not apply.
- We are experienced raiders.
- Real Life always comes before WoW.
- Good communication is mandatory.
- We offer a relaxed atmosphere both in and out of raids, but don't let that fool you. Just because our GM doesn't yell or scream does not mean we're not serious raiders.
- Our guild is focused on PvE raid progression. Everything else comes second. (Except real life. See above).
- We are expanding because we are looking to fill a select few slots for our second 10 man raid group as well as our 25 man raid.

The Details
---------------------------
Brief Guild Biography/History:Thanks for looking! Before I get into too many details, I'd like to tell you a few more details about Misconception (aka: Miscon). We've been around since BC, although of our officers and many of our members have been around since Vanilla. We are a East Coast PvE guild on a West Coast PvP server. Most of us (about 2/3) are from the East Coast and do not PvP. A handful of us (myself included) do enjoy PvP, but our guild focus is 100% on PvE Raid Progression. Spirestone is known for regularly hosting public, successful, "pug" RBGs if that's your interest.
What we are seeking, and why:We need healers and ranged dps. We have 10-13 core raiders. We have 3-5 backup raiders. We have 5-10 casual raiders. We just recruited a lot of people and a 25 man will be here in no-time.
Why are you recruiting?
Our goal has always been 25m raid progression. Currently, we lack the healers to make that possible. We have the tanks. We have most of the dps (although we need more consistent DPS). In order to better facilitate gearing of some of our raiders, we have already started a second 10m group. We've had issues in the past with kids getting grounded from WoW, so we'd prefer adult raiders that do not deal with that. Also, we're looking for CONSISTENT raiders who can make it 2-3 nights a week, every week. The only thing holding us back from having two groups at 6/7 and/or a 25man is consistent raiders.
What's the guild atmosphere like?
As stated in the TLDR above, we have a pretty relaxed atmosphere. Real life always comes before World of Warcraft, but we expect people to be honest to their word. If they say they will be there, we are relying on them to show up. The only thing we ask is that you communicate to us if you're not going to make a raid so that we know not to expect you. We like to have fun. It's a game after-all, right? But don't let our relaxed atmosphere mislead you. We take raiding very seriously, and progression is our number one goal. If you sign up, we expect you to be ready to raid, even if you do not get into the raid. This includes your own food, flasks, and having been repaired before you even receive an invite. We have lost raiders to weather, family emergencies, ISP issues, etc... so you never know if you'll be asked to join the raid.
How do I know if I will fit in?
We are a guild of mature adults , mostly ages 24 and older. Some of us have children. Some of us have spouses that also play WoW. Some of us work 2 jobs AND make time for raiding. We like to joke around and have fun. Most of us work full-time jobs, varying from engineer, to factory worker, to mobile phone expert, to college administrator.
We do have some teenagers in our guild, but they represent a small portion of our guild. We enjoy having a diverse group of people, including age. Our main thing when it comes to teenagers is this: if you're one of our main healers (for example), we can't have you going AFK for 20 minutes during raids because you have to take out the garbage or eat dinner with your family. Raid times are set aside for a reason. This isn't because we're mean/hardcore jerks. Many of us have to work in the morning after our raids, so we try to adhere to the raid times pretty strictly. If we have to wait 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there, it's disrespectful to everyone else in the raid and is a waste of time.
This sounds like something I would like to know more about. When do you raid? How do I get in contact with you for more information?
Our scheduled raid days are Tuesday and Wednesday for both groups, and Friday (group 1), Sunday (group 2) from 9pm to 12 Midnight Eastern (6pm to 9pm Pacific).
If you would like to know more, or would like to interview with our guild, feel free to contact any one of our officers. If you're not currently on Spirestone-US and are just browsing the market, simply create a level 1 character and feel free to message one of us: Myself (Havel, Recruitment Officer), Stone (GM), Leynar (Officer), or Möle (Officer).
Happy Hunting. If you're a healer, we would desperately love to hear from you.
Regards,
Havel-Spirestone
