If you're looking at this thread, you're probably interested in joining Consequences. Or you're a creeper/an adbot/Kerp. Regardless, welcome to our forums! Consequences was founded by a group of close-knit friends who have all raided WoW since Epics were Epics, Alterac Valley seperated men from the boys with bedtimes, and running a full Blackrock Depths was a day-long affair.
However, as the game has changed, so have we. We're a bit more casual now. We have lives. We have jobs. We have college. We play other games. Some of us even have sex! While we still enjoy WoW, we find that we cannot devote the time as we have in the past towards the game. So, when heroics have lost their appeal, we raid. Casually!
Typically we raid 2-3 nights per week. We hold no requirement for enchants, gemming, and consumables, instead relying on members to be mature enough to handle these kinds of things themselves (Note: The guild does supply gems and enchants for appropriate level gear, barring limitations on available materials). However, we -do- expect a lack of "the badness" in our members. Does that mean you have to be perfect? Not at all. What that does mean is that you should be doing respectable DPS. You shouldn't be dying repeatedly to the same raid mechanics (if WoW were a song, it would be "Ode to Not Standing in Shit: The Complete Collected Verses of Fire, Poison... and More Fire.") Basically, demonstrate that you the capacity for a decent level of cognitive thought.
Aside from that, be aware of the following:
-We are generally a crowd of older gamers. Almost everyone in the guild is 21+, some more so. Maturity of in-game matters is highly valued (i.e. take your loot drama elsewhere, we don't want it), however this does NOT mean you have to be mature in other matters (see below).
-We cuss. We make lewd comments. We (in particular Kanat) have a habit of sharing the most god-forsaken works of "art" known to the dark bowels of the interwebs. If the following offends you: cuss words, jokes and existential quandaries of sexual nature almost inevitably leading back to discussion of penis, horrible links to forsaken portions of the internet (nothing illegal, mind you), and general verbal asshattery, this might not be the guild for you. This doesn't necessairly mean this happens all the time and we're a cesspool of filth. But, it happens. I find it funny.
-We are fairly successful when we raid, typically only hitting walls due to gearing. However, we are by no means a progression guild. If you're looking for a progression-oriented, balls to the wall style raid guild, this is probably not the place for you. If you are looking to have a commitment free raiding experience among friends, Consequences would be more to your interests.
If this mess sounds like it would tickle your pickle, fill out an app. Let us know you're interested. We'll contact you in-game if you've been accepted.
