Guild History and reasons for leaving/being removed from them?
Spirit. For about 3 months I have been in this guild and never has there been a single week in which all raids went smooth. In an attempt to get stable raids I have stepped forward and tried to stabalize a core group. However I failed. Now there seems to be little left of the people I enjoyed playing with most and the whole process of recruiting and filtering people seems to have restarted. I can not put in such effort into this guild again and therefore aim to join another guild. I have always wanted to be just a raider and prefer not to be involved in any guild management. I think and hope this guild can offer me this.

Your Name: Sipko van Dam
Your Age: 23
Your Country: Netherlands/England

What is your raiding experience IN Vanilla(at lvl 60!!!)/TBC(at lvl 70 before nerf patch)/WoTLK?
I started playing WoW during TBC, but I have never raided anything serious(Just kara and a bit ZA)

In WoTLK I have raided (when these instances were end content):
Naxxramas 10/25 (Pugs only)
EoE 10.
Sartharion 3 drakes up 25 man. (before ulduar)

After this I had another break of about half a year to a year and I started playing again somewhere around last November.

ToC10,ToC25 5/5
ToGC10 Insanity(only after ICC though), ToCG25 3/5 (on mage).

ICC10 11/12.
ICC25 8/12 (7/12 on priest 8/12 on pally)(Fester, Rotface, Council, dreamwalker)

Do you enjoy playing your character and why?
I like playing my priest most because it enables you to compensate for people that fuck up. Also it has very strong raidhealing abilities which enables you to compensate for slacky healers. In addition it has a wide range of spells for different situations compared to holy paladins. I do not like to play holy on my pally, but I really enjoy tanking although I still have to pick up some skill on that.(also coz as a tank you have more control then as a dps).
My mage I do enjoy least because this is a rather boring character to play (The most boring rotation, its all about proccing your cd's at the right moment). They have blink and iceblock which makes it nearly impossible to fail.

Are you in full control of your own playtime?
Yup, I do not share my account with anyone if that is what you mean.
Also no one else can decide I can play (except my computer or internet connection).

Why do you want to join Ace? What do you expect from us?
As I described before I am looking for a guild that progresses in which I am not required to do any management myself. All I want is stable raids (aka not getting canceled because people cant be arsed to show up...) and to play with people that learn from there mistakes (aka, in example, not getting hit by Icehowl 4 times in one raid).

Do you have a stable connection and a PC that runs the game smoothly?
Yup, although there are very rare occasions that I get disconnected for about 5 minuts. Only happens once a month -and has in the past 4 months only happened one time during a raid(and I raid ICC10/ICC25 with 3 characters every week).

Do you have ventrilo and a working microphone?
Yup got both. We used Teamspeak3 in Spirit which seemed to have better quality, but people pointed out to me it is the same quality for vent if you have a payed server, so I hope you do:P.

Which PVE addons do you play with?
For my priest Grid is my holy grail.
I use DXE for the boss tactics as I like this addon better then DBM or bigwiggs.
I use some other irrelevant addons such as Buggrabber and xperl.
Also use Recount as Skada crashes my wow somehow.

Have you read our rules/FAQ and do you agree with them?
Yeah I read them, and I agree

Is there any other information you would like us to know? (here is your chance to shine a bit extra and make an effort)
About my gear: I can get the boe boots and 264 gloves in an instance as I have the badges/gold for it. (I did not yet do it as I have 3 characters and cant decide what to gear first:P).
I know some priests prefer to gem int instead of spirit, but int just gives me extra mana and crit. I am generally not running oom and if I do I have so far always found a drood kind enough to throw me an innervate (only needed that on Blood queen so far). Also I prefer the extra spellpower I get from the spirit over the crit as I think crit is shit on holy priests. I started as a disc priest hence the 251 chest instead of the 264 one that has haste instead of crit.

About myself: I am always in time for the raid (incase I signed). I read tactics so often when new bosses come out, I kill the bosses in my dreams(and wake up to find I didnt get the achiefment).
The first 10 bosses are a walk in the park. I do need some more practise on syndrigosa though as I have only killed it once, and that wasnt the smoothest kill ever to say the least(but they nerved him so maybe its easyer now:P).

Hope to talk to you soon on vent, as I hate typing:P.

If there is anything I forgot to mention feel free to ask. I usually forget some things.

Thanks for taking the time to handle my application.

PS. I am still in spirit at the moment, but I have informed the guild leader I was applying here and told him I would help him out untill I would find another guild. He was fine with this.

I am not sure I like the general "tone" in some parts of your apply. This might be "true" on some occasions but perhaps not something that will impress a guild you apply to?

Yup got both. We used Teamspeak3 in Spirit which seemed to have better quality, but people pointed out to me it is the same quality for vent if you have a payed server, so I hope you do:P.

Yes we do have a payed server.

In general your apply was decent, but I get a bad feeling after reading it. You got a lot of attitude which shines through quite clearly and I'm not sure that is to your advantage. I would however like a short chat with you in game.

[Kioko]

Hey again and thank you for the nice chat on vent. I will get back to you again over the weekend.

[Artisian]
