Shadow Syndicate Recruitment Information and ApplicationWhat is Shadow Syndicate all about?:Shadow Syndicate prides itself on our long-standing and stable history. We were founded on day 1 of WoW’s release and have been going strong ever since. We have grown to have a reputation for providing our members with permanent homes that offer a competitive raiding experience in a mature and respectful environment.
Shadow Syndicate maintains a large raiding roster and we believe this has been the secret to our success. It allows us to continue raiding when most guilds have stopped and allows our members to have occasional absences to handle any obligations they might have without the fear of thinking they let the group down. In return it provides us an opportunity to aggressively switch out individuals who are not clearly prepared or focused to ensure our 25 man team is the best it can be for the encounter in progress. We are a guild that seeks to create an atmosphere that combines a focus on PvE progression with a realization that WoW is a game and doesn't come before real life. To that end, we typically raid 4 nights a week and require a minimum of 60% raid attendance for members once admitted.
Shadow Syndicate is looking for a specific type of player to fit our personality and style. If you feel that you might be one of these people, please read the below information and post your application as follows.
Policies and Guild Conduct:Shadow Syndicate has a reputation of having mature and respectful members. We expect all of our members to represent the guild in an equal fashion. Regardless of your age in real life, you are expected to act like an adult in game while wearing the <Shadow Syndicate> tag. Actions in game, in PuG's, and on WoW forums that reflect negatively on the guild will not be tolerated. Examples include ninja-looting, racism, blatant forum trolling, etc.
Progression History:Vanilla: MC, AQ 20/40, BWL, and Naxx (Noth, Anub) cleared.
