Our recruitment policy has been a bit all over the place over the last 12 months or so. Here is the definitive version that all prospective and even current members should be aware of and abide by to ensure we maintain quality in whatever game we play.


1:Endgame
Our aim is always to experience end game content, this is invariably some form of organised raiding content 6,10,12,25+ man content.

Our primary focus is to excel at end game, that does not mean that we cannot also be competitive in other aspects of our chosen games, be that small (or large) PvE, PvP, RvR, RvE etc etc

2: Competence:
Precept was founded on the basis that all our members had come from past raiding or endgame guilds and therefore had some level of skill, aptitude (call it what you want) at playing games (primarily MMOs).

Whilst we do not neccesarily require you to be fully raid equipped and of maximum level depending upon the games current recruitment policies we do expect you to show good, well rounded skills and to be able to play at the height of your game from the get go. (handholding is at a minimum here)

This will include learning how to best play and equip your character, while members are willing to help you must learn to master your own class.

This also includes reading up on raid content, do not expect to turn up and then have the raid leader spend 20 minutes explaining the fight to you (for example)

Failure to meet our high expectations will ultimately result in either demotion or removal from the guild.


3:Guild first
Precept is all about the community, your guild is the first priority as such we will dictate loot if it helps our progression, we do expect people to offer things to guild members first.

We do not want you to stop making profit and there is nothing wrong with selling items at cost, however we expect to see you pushing the guild first mentality at all times.

There are no individuals amongst our ranks we are team first always, you let your team down you find another one and we'll wish you good luck.


4:Age
Precept has members of all ages from 15 upwards however we generally aim for members to be at least 18 years old. Maturity and the ability to listen to advice and follow orders when necessary are a must have quality.

Exceptions can and are made, but will not be the rule.

5: Your Trial:
When you are on trial you will be monitored for at least a month.
During this period we expect trials to be playing in the game they have applied too regularly, getting to show their skills with the members and being a part of the guild they applied to.

Not logging on, logging on as alts unguilded, spending all your time without the guild and avoiding opportunities to join in can all end in a sudden and unfavourable ending to your trial.

Logging onto ventrilo, even if you do not participate in conversation is a must. Communication is key in everything we do, all endgame requires ventrilo as our primary method of ventrilo. Log-in get to know the voices and characters you're playing with.

Most importantly of all enjoy yourself. We cannot form any opinion of you if you do not participate.

Summary

Competency, maturity, aptitude and communciation are all key assets we look for in a future member of Precept. We have been around for 4+ years by working on those assets with each new member we recruit.

Take note of all of the above and you won't go far wrong, good luck with your trial and welcome to Precept.
