This system is currently suspended per review. However, the basic guidelines that created it are intact and to be observed to the best of our ability.

Stay posted for details on our new ranking system (if we determine it is necessary).

War Storm Ranking/Raid Selection System

Blixxus — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 17:53:56 GMT

War Storm: Our core values and beliefs

1. Be the best team
2. Progress and ultimately complete end game content
3. Develop ourselves into the best players we can be
4. Develop and attract the best players on the server
5. Be confident in our leetness, not boastful

In our pursuit of these goals it has become apparent that we need to grow our guild. This will give us an advantage as we should never have our progression stopped for lack of raiding members.

As we grow it will become more difficult to determine which 25 players to have in our raids. Many times the appearance will seem more based on random rolls or personal bias rather than a solid merit system.

To this end we are introducing the new War Storm Ranks.

Your rank will determine where you fall in the pecking order for determining raid selection. This System will determine which player will get into our raids, and also maintain their status within our guild. Dedicated players will hold a higher rank and be in more raids, where as those players that for whatever reason are unable to attend all raids will hold a lower rank and be given a spot when higher ranking players miss raids or when the fight may call for more of your class/spec.

Ranking System Ranks: There will be 7 raiding ranks in War Storm.

Gladiator
Liege
Templar
Guard
Squire
Jester
Peasant

Requirements for all ranks in War Storm:
Show up on time on raid nights
Staying through completion of the raid
All appropriate class consumables, in enough numbers to allow for 6 hrs of raiding
Appropriate spec (meaning non-pvp)
All appropriate mods
• CT raid assist
• Deadly Boss mods
• KLH Threat meter (for dps classes)
• Any appropriate class mods
Enough G for repairs
Reasonable researched knowledge of the task at hand

Promotion progression beginning with Squire

Promotion through the rank of liege will only occur when all of the following occurs:
Player fulfills all of the requirements of being in a raid
Gains admittance to a raid
Stays until the raid's completion

Squire
The base rank upon joining the guild.
All new recruits will start with this rank.
A player cannot gain promotion unless they are in a raid.
Showing up on time on a raid night will maintain the Squire rank.
Gaining entry into a raid and staying until completion of that raid will move that player up to a Guard.

Guard
One step above Squire.
This rank will have priority over Squires, but under Templar and above.
Showing up on time on a raid night will maintain the Squire rank.
Gaining entry into a raid and staying until completion of that raid will move that player up to a Templar.

Templar
One step above Guard.
This rank will have priority over Guards and Squires, but under Liege and above.
Showing up on time on a raid night will maintain the Templar rank.
Gaining entry into a raid and staying until completion of that raid will move that player up to a Liege.

Liege
Our core raiding rank. We expect most of our guild members to be at this rank.
This rank will have priority over Templars, Guards and Squires.
Showing up on time on a raid night will maintain the Liege rank.

Gladiator
Highest Raiding Rank. By selection only. (More details to follow)

Gladiator rank information:
11 Gladiators, one of each of the following:
Holy Priest
Shadow Priest
Prot Warrior
Feral Druid
Resto Druid
Hunter
Holy Paladin
Mage
Warlock
Rogue
Resto Shaman

These players will be considered the Core of War Storm. Aka Core Storm =-) They will do/be all of the following:
Fulfilling all of the requirements for being a member of War Storm
Represent the best of their spec/class
Knows all fights well, farm and progression respective to their class
Is a leader to fellow guild mates

Gladiators will be allowed to miss one raid only in a calendar month

The Gladiator rank of the respective class/specs will be selected at the GM/officers discretion. Once a player has been selected, he will maintain that rank until he/she loses it through one of the following:

Demotion
Challenge (More details to follow)

There is the possibility that we will have more than one player who qualifies for Gladiator rank (especially since War Stormers are so leet). In this event, any member who has maintained the rank of Liege for one calendar month, can challenge the reigning Gladiator for his/her rank.

The venue for the challenge will vary based on the requirements of the spec/class. It will be agreed upon by both the challenger/challengee. The venue must be approved and witnessed by an officer/GM of War Storm.

Demotion progression starting with Squire

Demotion will occur when any one of the following actions occur:
Missing a raid
Performing a blatant act that causes progression or monetary harm to other raid members
Coming generally unprepared (consumables, specs, research etc.)
Misrepresenting our Guild Core Values in raid, in game, or on forums

Squire
This is our Starting Rank. Any player who is recruited into War Storm will start off at this rank. Showing up on time will maintain that the player remains a Squire. Gaining entry into a raid will move that player up to a Guard.

Jester
1 Rank below the entry level Rank. This Rank again can only be achieved by missing too many raids. Showing up on time for a raid will result in a player moving back up to Squire.

Peasant
This is the lowest Raiding Rank in our guild. A player who holds this rank will be on the edge of recieving a Gkick. Players who hold this Rank are players who have missed too many raids. Upon missing 1 more raid will result in a gkick. Showing up on time for a raid will result in the player moving up to Jester

Unguilded
- Nuff said

These conditions are binding and non-negotiable, with a few extreme cases being handled at officer's discretion. Keep in mind, we are trying to remove bias from the selection process, so don't whine or ask for exceptions unless the situation is really unique and unavoidable.
