samardzijaThe Badgers Den Guild was set up to be a guild for both fun and the enjoyment of End Game progressions. As such, we have some general rules that we observe within our guild.
Please Note:
We are primarily an 18 and over guild. We have made exceptions and invited in younger players, howevor we still expect them to maintain a level of maturity that is expected from all Guild Members.
1) Addons: The following Addons are required and can be obtained from the Links section: Group Calendar, Threat Meter, Deadly Boss Mods and Ventrilo. You MUST install these four Addons to be promoted to Member status.
We also highly recommend you install Gatherer, Cartographer and some of the other suggestions and class specific addons listed. If you find new ones that work great, link it up so others can use them too!
2) Respect is the utmost responsibility of every player: We will not tolerate discrimination, bigotry, hate speech or any other form of behavior that focuses on belittling or demeaning any players, inside or outside our membership. We recognize that we have players from numerous backgrounds and experience levels and that, at times, there will be miscommunication or misunderstanding. However, should a player be found to be purposely or maliciously offensive in any situation, which includes attacking players NOT in The Badgers Den Guild, that player will be summarily removed from membership.
3) Have fun and know the limits! The biggest expectation we have is for our members to enjoy the game, regardess of whether it's grinding rep or taking part in 25 man raids. It is important to note, however, that in having fun, please recognize that there are social expectations as well. Know the difference between "good humor" and "crude language." Players that continually pepper public chat with vulgarity may be removed.
4) Know thy officers. We have a great group of folks that have taken on the officer positions to enable faster, more efficient decision making. As such, know your leaders! They are there to provide everything from guidance to an ear should there be an issue.
5) Issues/Grievances: In the event that an issue arises, the player affected should immediately contact an appropriate officer. It has been our experience that, when handled in this way, issues are resolved much quicker than having a player try to "stir the pot" in public chat. Going to your class leader = taking the initiative to get the issue resolved. Igniting public chat with incendiary speech = Drama Queen.
6) Membership: When applying for membership with The Badgers Den, it is imperative that you submit an application on our website forums. This is true regardless of who you know or what may have been worked out in advance of your applying formally UNLES you have already been given a launch code.. Applications provide us with information we require for every single player.
7) Raids/Loot: Raid attendance, invitation, and loot procedure will be the subject of a separate post. However, it bears noting that our rules for respect continue even if a shiny epic item drops. Ninjas will not be tolerated nor will incessant loot fiends. If your goal is to attempt to snatch every item you can get your hands on, at any cost, then The Badgers Den is not the guild for you. There will be times that loot distribution will be made based upon need of the raid or the guild. Those times will be few, but they will happen (example: gearing a MT). Beyond these exceptional moments, gear will be distributed based upon participation/attendance per loot procedure.
