VT keys, Sleepers keys, epics, spells, gear and whatever "raid" experience they members may or may not have had is relatively insignificant in the recruitment process because as Saevrok rightly pointed out, you get everything you need from the guild you are applying to.
Lets see, if Joe Smhoe put on his application that he had no raid experience, no keys, and his magelo has items that I wouldn't even put on a twink, do you think that a guild will give them the equipment and keys they need to be up to par with their raiding guild? No. Without a guild that is helping to build up and prepare people for the higher end game, these "uber" guilds would not even consider them. Some of these applications you guys throw in front of people apping look like some damn resumes. Raid experience? Do you have your epic? Magelo? Keys? Flags? Alot are required to have certain keys like VT even though you NEVER step foot in that place anymore. I, for one, never had a VT key...too much of a timesink. Got like my third shard and said screw it. Who the hell does Emp anymore? Certainly not you higher guilds. Too worried about getting your three unflagged members flagged *snicker*
In order to join __________, you must:
- Level 65
- Be active (we raid 5-6 days per week)
- Find 4 active members to sponsor you to start the candidacy process. (not required in order to apply)
- Have a VERY solid internet connection
- FLAGS: You must be elemental flagged. People with Plane of Time access are welcome with big open arms.
Where are the gonna pull some of them flags from? Don't give me this open raid BS. I have only seen maybe one of those not fail and that was a zergfest on Aerin Dar. Was very amusing, got the job done, but doesn't quite cut it for the bigger things like RZ, MM, Agnarr, Sol ro.
Guess they could get raid experience from these open raids people conjur up, but not every single flag to get into elemental planes. Scurvvy (I think thats his name) seems to do a good job on those.
I say if that same person puts on his app that he was in some guild noone ever knew about, then it would get a big fat red
DENIED post right underneath it.
While the guilds do care what is and isn't posted here, there's sure as hell no effort to coordinate postings to oppress anyone.
nm...not touching that subject.
