Symbolic Logic is a hardcore, fast-paced progressive raiding guild located on the US server Altar of Storms.
Raiding Schedules:
Normal Schedule:
Sunday – Thursday, 7:30pm – ~midnight EST.
Progression Schedule (Icecrown):
This schedule tends to be different that our typical raid schedule. Our 25 mans typically follow the same general time/days with the addition of potentially the opening weekend.
Note: This is a hardcore guild that intends to compete on the US/World platform, if you can’t put up with these raid times, please do not apply.
Attendance:
All Symbolic Logic members are required to attend all scheduled raids. Attendance is strictly enforced as we are a hardcore raiding guild, however, letting an officer know or posting of an absence ahead of time allowing for the proper preparations to be made for the raid team is acceptable. Members with excessively low attendance will be reviewed and removed in time.
Loot System:
We use a quick-assign loot council system. Essentially whomever is doing loot at the time will link the said item and ask for the names of people interested, the item they are currently using, and any relevant comments they have (e.g. 4 piece, offspec, etc).
As usual, members have priority on loot over trials; trials will not be able to participate in a bid if a member is interested in the item. If members are not interested in the item, trials will then be considered. If trials are not interested and the raid channel is left empty, we will then begin to roll on the item for off specs.
Example:
[Raid Warning][Officer]: Betrayer of Humanity PST if interested.
[Player1] whispers: me, [Random Weapon 1].
[Player2] whispers: interested! [Random Stupid Wep]. that's my BiS
[Raid] [Officer]: Player1, Player2 - last call
At this point the person assigning loot will discuss with other officers who should receive the item taking into account many factors such as attendance, class versus item correlation, and other various common sense ideas and make a decision.
[Raid] [Officer]: Grats Player1.
* Note: We like to prioritize gear to Tanks -> DPS -> Healers in that order for progression purposes. This will not always be the case however generally it is.
Legendary quality items:
Legendary items will not be distributed via typical loot distribution. The officers will discuss the matter in officer chat and make a decision. How long you have been in the guild, how well you play, your attendance and dedication to the guild will affect the decision.
Raid Content:
We are primarily focused on 25man content. Although we do take 10man content seriously depending on its difficulty and relevance to progression. With the latest raid instance released, Trial of the Crusader and Trial of the Grand Crusader on 10 man, both having some upgrades from Ulduar we do regularly run these in two (sometimes three) groups.
Raid Environment:
Raiding Environment will be quite relaxed during Trash and all, but there are just a couple things we would like Members to do, and not do during Boss Encounters and Looting:
During Boss Encounters, Please leave vent clear for all Raid leaders to convey instructions to the raid. This Includes but is not limited to, calling out abilities to another player, asking for a Battle Resurrection (raid leaders will call this out), asking for Bloodlust, and any other bullshit not essential to raiding.
DPS meters and heal meters will not be posted in raid, ever. Officers will look at these through Officer Channel, and comments will be made to underperforming individuals in tells.
During Looting, keep raid chat and Vent clear as to not screw anyone over by missing a link. If you do not need an Item please move to the next Area and if there are enough people, Clear Trash.
Any and all AFK's shall be sent to a raid leader please do not announce it in Vent or Raid chat, These should be sent to Fastway or Goomba.
Loot Will be Master looted and Bids handled by guild leadership.
