Why are you applying to Bloodpack? Because you are recruiting! I also need a new home since my last guild disbanded, and the guild I'm trying to get going at the moment doesn't seem to be dedicated enough.

Have you played with anyone in Bloodpack before, who might vouch for you? Squired and Leonia hopefully, Myriad and Ygthor as well... any ex- DoT Commers!

What previous guilds have you been in, and why are you planning to/have you left your last guild?
Evolution - disbanded early into TBC
Synchronocity - was in before I left wow for a few months, came back and it had disbanded
DoT Com - was the first guild to take my hunter at 70, then I inherited this account from a very close friend. Only reason I've left DoT Com is because it basically fell apart at the seams after lots of wiping and lots of new members not being able to cut it in MH/BT as well as listen to instructions.

Do you currently have any pending application with any other guild? If yes, who with? Nope, just you guys

Tell us a bit about your history and experiences in WoW. How long have you been playing? Why do you like playing your chosen class and spec? What have you done up to this point in the game?
Well I started back in the day of the original 60 game, got to 60 close to the expansion (really took my time around it and levelled alts at the same time) and did a few runs in MC and ZG on my hunter. TBC hit and I got to 66 fairly quickly, but got bored of the game since my guild was basically rubbish! I came back a few months later after trying some other MMOs and found my guild had disbanded. I decided to haul arse to 70 and get into a raiding guild; sure enough DoT Com was recruiting and I managed to get in an saw the first kills for the guild! I've been there ever since and have really progress in my playing abilities.
I took over my friends account recently on his priest, and I have studied extensively on how to play one, in previous raids with DoT Commers I was finished 3rd or 4th on the healing done list, as well as being commended by the GM and other healers about how well I was doing considering it was the first time I'd really done any proper raiding with a holy priest! Since DoT Com has disbanded I've been trying to get a new guild going with some of my friends and tbh it hasn't been going well, people are not dedicated enough and I need to find players of a similar attitude to me or I will not be able to raid before wotlk! Tbh I love playing a healer, it really is so different to a DPS class, I find it to be far more interesting as no two fights are the same in terms of healing. With DPS its always the same rotation and the same things to do... but with healing I have to be a lot more switched on and I love that!


Raiding

How interested are you in PvE raiding? I love it, it's why I play the game. I also enjoy PvP but imqho the game revolves around endgame content and that's where I want to be.

How much experience do you have with PvE content in the game? (e.g. what raids have you taken part in, do you do heroics etc.) I've done every heroic at least once if not twice, I've cleared kara, za, TK, SSC, MH and 4/9 BT. I tend not to do heroics that often since I'm not desperate for the badges, but I'm always up for a kara if people need me

Are you available during our raid times? Can you make all days or only some?
Only day I won't be able to attend is tuesday since this is when I have a band practice! Others are absolutely fine tho.

What PvE-related add-ons do you use? Oh god where to start lol... Omen, Recount, X-Perl, Bongos, Atlasloot, BigWigs, DurabilityFu, ElkBuffBars, CooldownTimers.. maybe forgotten a few but those are the key ones.

We're a fairly social guild, not just logging on for raid times and then disappearing for the rest of the week. How would/do you fill your playing time when not raiding? I like to do BGs or at the moment I'm levelling an alt I also wanna get some arena done if people are up for it. Even the occaisonal raid on stormwind is something I do!

Raiding's not cheap. Flasks, buff food, oils, and ofc repairs all cost money and time, and so does keeping your gear gemmed and chanted properly. Are you able to support your raiding expenses?
Absolutely, I've got plenty of spare gold made from farming and playing the AH, I also do the dailies on the island of quel'danas which brings in around 150g a day; plenty to go raid with.

How do you feel you can benefit our raid setup?
I'm an experience raider and I've seen all the content you guys are currently trying so learning fights should be really easy. I can do the teron gorefiend constructs thing as well, so no worries there! I'm also a fun guy who loves to have a laugh with his guildies and everyone whos nice to me!

Additional things to add?
I'm always up for helping someone out, even if it means logging an alt at an awkward time or replacing someone in a kara run or whatever! I've got 375 tailoring and 375 JCing with most of the gems on the JC, only missing a couple now. Maybe tell you a little more about myself as a person:
My real names chris I'm 21, I live in the UK currently at home but this is only for the summer until I find another place for my 3rd year at university in september. I'm studying Music Production and absolutely love it; I find learning about the physics of sound and how it works absolutely fascinating! I play in a few bands at the moment, but none of them are gigging hugely regularly; more just to have some fun tbh! I drink cider, and I love the strong stuff, magners can eff off tbh... nothing compared to the proper cider with bits floating in it! I ride a motorcycle and thats something I love to do as well, I go to bike festivals every so often with my father and brother who also ride.
I also design and build websites as a side project, nothing fancy just something to keep me in pocket as a poor student

And thats about it, any more questions just ask!

Hello Architeuthis,
Thanks for applying, your application is currently under review and we'll get back to you as swiftly as we can

Finde

TBH I hope you guys decline Architeuthis' application as he is still in Imperium and hasn't said word one about his leaving Imperium...

I think that is the kind of person you should decline right off the bat. Only my personal opinion but you guys do as you want

Moridin

@ how happy Imperium is now...nice one Chris!


Moridin

My only comment :

What happens when/if your friend wants their account back ...

good point

Linking to restricted sections of a forum ... GG. You made your point, our officers arent idiots, let it lie.

Please, stop spamming the application, if you have something to say please do an in-game mail or whisper an officer. Your points are noted though.

had a few random conversations with this guy around mutual friends (abraxas/squired etc) and overall he seems really nice, easy-going and good to get along with. great gear, great spec, favourite gems..

drama and annoying little devil faces aside, i think he'd be an awesome member.

Ok Architeuthis,
It's a really nice application, but, we're going to be declining your application based on this.

I took over my friends account recently on his priest

We have no doubt that you can play the class as well as you say you can, but we can't be sure whether the original owner of the account is going to allow you to continue playing if he decides to come back to the game, if you wish to discuss this more privatley, whisper me or send me an in-game mail on Findecano.

Goodluck with whatever you wish to persue,

Finde.
