5. What other guilds have you been in and why did you leave them? Do you currently have any other applications pending with other guilds?

7. Are you interested in becoming a social or raiding member of Forsaken Enlightenment, if social thank you for your application, if raiding please complete the next section. raiding :D

Questions for raiders only:

What is your raiding spec and your duel spec if you have one, which do you prefer to play and why? i play Marksman main, survival secondary. i play marksmanship because i can pull alot more dps and it is more fun to play. i am willing to change around my specs if i need to though

How do you keep yourself up to date on the latest developments of your class? Do you visit any websites for this? elitistjerks:D and of course patch notes

Comment on your talents and glyphs. Why did you choose them? What do you think of other builds of your class? Why didn't you choose one of those? i pick my talents to maximize dps and i use the glyphs of the abilities i use most (steady shot, arcane shot etc.)

Do you have control of your own time i.e. if you sign and are selected for a raid can you guarantee (disasters and acts of god permitting) that you will be available until raid end time. yes i will be able to make the raiding times every time

When are you usually available for raiding (specific days of the week and preferred hours) have you taken note of our raiding days and do they fit into your schedule?
they fit my schedule well, and i am free all days of the week

What add-ons do you like to use for raids? skada, deadly boss mods, miksscrollingbattletext

What raiding experience do you have and what role has this been in? my role is always to take care of adds and just to dps i have 12/12 and 1/13, no firelands as of yet though.

What raids do you believe you are geared for? firelands normal mode

Have you tried and/or completed any raid achievements and hard modes? What do you think of them and would you like to try more in the future? i would like to get some BwD hc done, and i enjoy the challenge of heroic raids. i have a few normal achi's in raids (chimaeron and maloriak) and i have defender of a shattered world and heroic halfus

We require 100% signs for your trial period, will this be acceptable? yes of course

Some difficult scenarios

An Officer or fellow member offers you some advice on how to improve your play, be it through rotations, talents or gem and enchant suggestions, how do you feel? i take in all the advice and offer my opinion too. i wont be shy to ask questions if i have any!

An item that you desperately want drops you register your interest but the loot council awards it to another player as is it a bigger upgrade or their attendance has been better, how do you react? i will just hope it drops for me next time and of course gratz the winner:)

In order to balance a raid for an encounter or because there are far to many signs the raidleader places you on standby for the second time running, but another member of your class is in the raid for the third time in a row. What do you do? if it is consistent, maybe ask the raid leader why, and post in guild chat asking how its going

After a heavy night of raiding another member makes a comment about your performance which may not be called for, how do you react? i don't reply as it may cause arguments within the guild

We are wiping..... all night...... getting the raid and the tactics right, your repair bill is going through the roof and not much progression is happening, how do you feel? i feel disappointed but i look forward to the next raid, and i look up on the internet any opinions or tactics on the fight which may help the guild

Thanks

your link shows you as butt naked. can you log out in your current gear.

[Tethane]

Naked elf app! I'm hoping you put some clothes on soon or you may get some negative feedback!

[Galadruin the Dwarf]

the nakedness is suggestive of being hacked.

[Everlightly]

Do you have any links with stepmum, is it an alt etc?

[Tethane]

Doesnt look like he has been active on line for a couple of weeks either. I will give you another day to sort this out and then I will have to decline you if its not.

[tomcresswell]

I'm sorry about the naked app. I applied while in France and am now at home but am now out of sub. a few of my friends logged my account and messed it about, I will change as soon as I have a sub again which is in the next hour. I don't have any links to Stepmum by the way. Thanks.

[Soul(Ture)]

A few of your friends logged ón your account ?

How many would you say have acces to your acount ?

If you had access to a guild bank how would you make sure your account was safe?

[tomcresswell]

Hiya, i have updated my armoury now. Nobody has access to my account but me now as i have changed my password. Thanks.

[tomcresswell]

'If you had access to a guild bank how would you make sure your account was safe?'

Nobody has access to my account anymore, I only gave it to one of my friends so they could raid on my character while i was away. I changed my password before i gave it to him, and have now changed it back and downloaded an authentication device so my account will now be 100% secure.

[Almore]

Sorry but this just screams alarm bells to me.

First off what are u doing applying to a new guild when you can't actually log into your account because your in another country.

Secondly the nakedness is just odd....I cannot think of a single time I have ever logged out naked or any reason as to why my 'friends' would do so to me.

Thirdly you start of saying that 'a few of my friends' logged into your account whilst you were away, which swiftly changed too only one friend having access to your account...which then changed to no-one having access except you..plus you claim to now have gotten an authenticator too just for the sake of this guild app? Hmmmm...

Mebbe I'm just cynical and old..well thats exactly what I am lol..so it's a no from me for abject dodgyness. Sorry to you if this is genuine but if it was you could have presented your application in a much more sensible and convincing way. First impressions are everything matey :P

By the way I'm not involved in the decision making when it comes to accepting apps, just giving my opinion. Good luck

[tomcresswell]

Well I am relatively new to the game and have not done a guild application before - so on that front, my apologies go out for appearing a little dodgy. I gave my password to one of my friends who thought he would raid and then make all of my characters naked, and when I said 'a few friends' that was just as a figure of speech, it was just one of my friends who did it, he meant no harm.

I only did the application while in another country as I knew that I would be flying home the next day in the morning.

P.S. I was interested to get going because I had just read the 4.3 patch notes.

Thanks

[tomcresswell]

Also I downloaded the authenticator onto my phone, which is free. And they no longer have access as I have changed my password; just to clear things up.

[Kraevine]

Heya guys. Don't worry. Stepdad firstly did not get hacked. I was just messing around on his account, seeing what his hunter's dps was like compared to my hunters. I would've had no intention of making him naked had i known he had finally applied to a guild. I would NEVER go into someone elses bank, that is just bloody stupid. But many apologies for this, a simple mistake on my behalf. But in future please listen to what Stepdad was saying, that his mate was just goofing around on his account.
