General

At Motley Crue, we play as an honorable guild. Each player is entrusted to have his own set of principles upon which to base this sense of honor.

In lieu of rules, we have just a few guidelines to remind our players that any action they take reflect upon the name of our guild and those which we call friends and comrades.

Openness and Acceptance

We all come from different backgrounds. We all speak with strange accents, and we all have funny notions about cuisine and stuff. So please make allowances.

Be particularly conscious about your own little pet bigotries. We know you're not so small-minded, but sometimes humor gets in the way of being considerate of other people's sensitivities. This isn't a push to be "politically correct." That's just an equidistant leap in the opposite direction. So just be yourself and speak your mind. If someone asks you to stop because they feel you are being offensive, it's usually a sign that you've stepped on a toe. Just back off said toe, and chill.

Play well, Have manners

Begging, spamming, inappropriate yelling, arrogant smack, and such are generally unwanted in Motley Crue. Carry yourself with dignity and honor. Period. Err on the side of courtesy and humility.

Oh, and griefing and interfering with other guilds, cheating on loot treatment, all that is stuff that will get you severely punk'd in the guild.

General

This page outlines the general guidelines that we encourage players within our raids to follow. This is most important in the larger raids.

Before you start

• Assign a raid leader and follow him. This sounds common-sense, but in the larger raids, it's easy to fall into two traps--having no leader, or having too many of them. Pick one, or note who IS raid leader and follow him or her.
• Be clear with your objectives. State what the objectives are for the raid. Are you doing all bosses, or just a select few.
• Be clear with the loot rules. This is critical. More on the prescribed loot rules in a succeeding portion of this page.
• Fulfill all the requirements for the raid. Make sure you've got the right gear in your bags, and all the consumables you'll need. Get the mods needed for the encounter. Have TS running and be on the right channel.

Raid Behavior and Tactics

• Stay within the main group. This applies to everyone who doesn't have a pre-assigned role. Don't loiter or get ahead of the MT / Puller.
• Assign all special roles and stick to them. Some raids will require a dedicated puller or MT. Don't play Chuck Norris and screw with the role assignments.
• Listen to instructions. Some strats require considerable coordination. A single person out of place or doing the wrong thing at the wrong time can wipe an entire raid.
• Keep channels clear during pulls. Banter and witty discussions are the great part of every raid. But during pulls, everyone can coordinate better if the voice / chat channels are uncluttered.

Loot Rules

Unless you have an all-guild group, we strongly recommend you avoid the PASS on blue/epic method of loot management. It's all too easy for people to ninja, whether deliberately or accidentally.

Use Master Looter, if you can and assign an ML that everyone can trust. This is best for PUGs with strangers.

If not, use straight need or greed where no one is required to pass on anything. This makes for a faster run, but will usually mean that non-enchanters will not be able to get shards.

The raid leader decides the specifics of loot rules. His or her decisions are final.
