Caution!
The information on this site is based on WoW Anniversary Classic P1 - When WoW Forever becomes available the data will be progressively updated as new information comes to light.
Below you will find a complete account of our raid rules, from how we distribute loot, to what punctuality means to us. Note that individual requirements like professions, gear, enchants etc is found on the requirements page for your class - this page deals with the bigger picture rules that applies to all of us in raid. But first let's start out with the four main pillars of our rules to raiding along with a note about performance expectations.
Punctual
Be online and ready to go at the raid entrance at 18:40. Don't make your fellow raiders wait on you.
Be prepared
Re-read tactics, assignments & double check consumables before raid start. Don't make your fellow raiders pick up your slack.
Perform
Always push yourself, we joke & laugh, but we expect solid work at the keyboard. Stay focused, stay alert.
Attendance
We require attendance at or above 95% from all raiders. Plan with this in mind.
In clear metrics we view any parse below 95+ as in need of improvement. But raiders far below this mark are not on the chopping block as long as they show a willingness to continually improve over the long term. In other words if you are a blue parse Andy you can still have a home here, but week by week we need you to learn, adapt and improve. Anyone below consistent epic parses who does not show a willingness to improve are people we would look to replace.

We run a 30man core team with up to 10 people on bench for any given raid. Benched raiders show up to raid same as a rostered raider would, but benched raiders are free to leave after replacements at 18:50. Below is some more info and an example of how our roster/bench system works.
Roster announced
Raid starts
Monday 18:30 - 22:00
Wednesday 18:40
Friday 18:30 - 22:00
Sunday 18:40
Monday
Roster is announced between 18:30 - 22:00 on discord using raid-helper, with groups clearly marked rostered or benched.
Wednesday
Raid invites starts at 18:40. 18:50 people not present from rostered groups gets replaced by benched raiders.
No show
Not showing up without comms is a quick way to finding yourself guildless. This goes for both rostered and benched raiders.
We run Loot Council as our way of distributing loot with the express goal of increasing raid performance and incentivising people to pump their brains out during raid. Our decisions are based on performance read through logs. Dps, healing, interrupts, cleansing, decurses, consumables and attendance decides who gets loot (with one caveat, see below). All BoEs and materials go to the guild bank.

The caveat
We award loot according to performance yes, but we do look at current gear too - We rather give an item to someone who gains +20 agility instead of someone who get an incremental upgrade of +2 agility. All in the service of higher raid performance.
______
*Quality of play: By this we mean how well you follow tactics, avoid dying & how much you do special duties like kicking, dispeling, buffing etc.
Our ruleset around mains and alts is structured so if you make a mistake and want to re-roll or have played the same char for years and want something new there is room for that. But we have no intention of gearing up someones stable of alts at the expense of the guilds performance in raid, thus we limit the amount you can switch main and when it comes to alt raiding its a decision left up to leadership if the char is needed or not.
Switch Main
You can switch main once every 90 days. Provided your new main is needed in the core roster and satisfies all Glacier requirements.
One Main
You have one main that you always sign for raids on, that never changes.
Alt Raiding
If you want to raid on alts you can declare those alts to us. You always sign to raids on your main and it is up to leadership which char we need you on.
