Other than whether or not we even have a spot for either of you, my biggest concern is this whole "package deal" thing.
You mentioned that you left Brethren because "Natalea got a ton of raid time. Scoorp did not." If we need a Priest one night but not a Mage, is that an issue? What if that happens three weeks in a row?
We definitely are used to the whole package deal issue question. We do not have to raid together all the time. Like I said before, Scoorp is more of the raider than I am and if it came down to alt/fun/whatever runs, I will be the first to volunteer. In Brethren there were other issues not just he didn't get to play. When we were in Brethren they were pretty much the only end game guild there on the server that fit our gaming style. Scoorp didn't like it there from the get go or the people. There are always underlying issues people don't talk about because they were either personal or trying to not attack guilds personally.
I believe once Scoorp has proved himself competent you will be putting him in main runs. (He is always standing behind me when I write stuff so I'm not talking for him, just typing for him. I'm a good woman lol!)
We can guarantee pretty much anyone who performs decently a spot in our Alt runs on Saturdays. But our main runs are obviously a bit more picky. Do you need to raid together or are you just concerned that both of you get the chance to raid? Would there be issues if one of you raided with us on our main nights and the other mostly raided in our Alt/Friends/Other run?
Another thing that I wanted to make clear was the "are you easily offended" question. You seem outside of our normal demographic so I feel the need to make extra clear what you'd be walking in to. The majority of us are 20-something guys on the internet. That means we are at any given time racist, sexist, rude, vulgar, horny and/or profane. If you fuck up we will yell at you. We won't actually stay angry about it for long but that doesn't mean you will ever live it down. Expect jokes about the time you cost Undying because you ate a void zone at 20% KT until your dying day. One of you is a chick. Expect to be asked for nudes at least once a day. These requests will only be 50% joking. If you do fuck up, expect someone to say it was because your boobs fell on the keyboard. This is just the way we are.
We are not easily offended at all. We are mature players and I understand that guys will be guys. I tend to joke right back about racist comments, etc. Scoorp is a very secure man and he knows he has nothing to worry about. Plus, rude and vulgarness (spelling is wrong for those English majors out there :!: ) is expected from a bunch of single guys who sit around on Friday nights playing WoW... :lol: That was a joke btw.
We understand that doing stupid shit in a raid is just dumb and don't care if we are made fun of. That is not what I'm talking about when I talk about our present guild and their vent etiquette. I guess you'd have to be on it to understand. It's depressing, makes you want to cry in a corner, and ruins the game. I don't even want to log on half the time. I don't want to say anything more to defame any guild. Just not our style of playing. It only takes one person or player being a douche bag to ruin it.
All that is not to say we don't take our shit very serious though. We screw around when it's time to screw around and beat the piss out of boses come raid time (sometimes both at the same time). We could use more mature members (I'm 29 and a single father myself) but I wanted to make sure you know what you're walking into.
