No Breaks

US-Thrall

No Breaks is a casually-hardcore raiding guild. We strive to push content, while not forcing our raiders to sacrifice their real lives. We are a group of friends wanting to improve together, overcome obstacles, and progress as a team. We don't always follow the "meta strats", and sometimes we have to do things differently than the ideal. We play to each other's strengths, support and cover each other's weaknesses.We do not leave people behind for things like their spot on the meters, and have achieved AOTC every tier since our guild was founded back in WoD. In our raiding environment, you can expect a casual & friendly atmosphere, with strong direction. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

Raid Overview

With the recent addon purge, mandatory addons are TBD - for now, RCLoot Council is the only one you need.We use Discord voice for raid nights, and while a mic not a hard requirement, it's strongly recommended for effective call-outs. For non-raiders, please remember that so long as you carry our guild tag, you are representing us as a whole to the greater game population. Refrain from hateful language, poor sportsmanship, or other behaviors that may reflect badly on our community.

Schedule

Raid times are TW 7-10 PM EST (which is also server time on Thrall, but check your time zones!)
Invites go out approximately 15 minutes beforehand
Being "on time" means that you are inside the instance and ready to pull at 7 PM
We are primarily an AOTC guild and have no plans for Mythic raid progression

Attendance

Raiders are required to communicate any absences/lateness via the raid-attendance channel (preferred) or through messages with an officer. Schedules change, the unexpected happens, and we know that real life always comes first.Attendance tracking is done via Warcraft Logs (only relevant for Raider promotions).

Loot

We use RC Loot Council to distribute loot. The addon will override the normal Need/Greed window with its own, and Loot Council members (your officers and raid leader) will be able to vote on the recipient (more info on our voting logic in the following section,"General Loot Guidelines").Once the Council casts their votes on who they feel should get the item, the winner will be announced in raid chat. The Master Looter will then be prompted to trade the item to the winner.

Priority

Mains > Alts
BoE's are yours to keep or put up for a roll.
Loot Council deliberates on awards with the following factors taken into account (listed in order of importance):

Tier Set Completion (Finishing a 2-set > Finishing a 4-set > Any extra set pieces)

No requirements. Friends, socials, leveling, non-raiders. All are welcome!Soldier

No hard requirements yet! TBD closer to raid tier opening week.Raider
After trialing for 2 consecutive weeks (4 raid days), you will be eligible to be added to the current roster. Here's our expectations of an ideal raider:
> 80%+ Attendance rate, as well as being on time (ready to pull at 7 PM EST).> Good survivability/execution of mechanics> Reasonable knowledge & performance of chosen roleVeteran
This role is for members who demonstrate a commitment to the guild on a long term basis. These depend on multiple factors and cannot be neatly quantified, so will be at the officers’ discretion. Some examples of a Veteran-worthy member are, but not limited to:
> Strong communication skills and a friendly, positive attitude> Willingness to integrate into the guild community, regardless of rank> History of guild membership across multiple tiers and/or expansions> Excellence in chosen class/spec/role while helping others improve

Main Swaps

This section is specifically for raid character swaps.If you want to switch the character that you bring for raid, you must notify an officer. DPS main swaps are allowed in the first 2 weeks of a new tier (4 raid days). Swaps into core roles will be at the officers’ discretion. In the event that a main swap is allowed after the grace period, your new main must be progressed with an ilvl meeting the average of the raid group.If you are denied a main swap after the grace period, DO NOT continue to pester officers with requests.

Community

Discord and guild chat are generally unmonitored. There are no specific rules regarding explicit language or content, with the following exceptions:

Stick to channel topics as much as possible for named Discord channels
No hate speech
NSFW content, while not discouraged, should be flagged as a spoiler
Complaints and concerns about the guild, loot, or a fellow guild member are to be brought directly to an officer in DM’s, not in public channels.
Don’t be meming in trade/general chat during raid encounters. Communicate in voice or raid chat.

Special Note
Harassment of another guild member is taken seriously and not tolerated. This applies to:
DM’s
General/guild channels
Voice chatThis is a sensitive issue, and the definition of harassment is broad. Any complaints will be investigated thoroughly before any permanent actions are taken. If an issue arises with another guild member that makes you uncomfortable, please document the behavior as best you can and notify an officer. Harassment of another member will result in expulsion from the guild.
