Fearless is a guild that is small and plans to stay that way. Our goal is a solid core of players who are interested in raiding. Initially, our aim is to raid Naxx and other 10 man content, then progress to 25 mans if possible and the interest is there.

Our mission is not to be some huge mega guild and try to be all things for all people but to have a small, solid core of players who are interested in seeing some end game content and willing to work as a team to get there. We are perfectly willing to accept players who's gear is not "Uber" and work with them in order to help prepare them to come with us to Naxx and beyond. This may mean that we farm heroics a lot, but heroics are not only fun, they are good practice for teamwork.

Some benefits and potential issues associated with being a small focused group include.

• We will be small so our resources are somewhat more limited than the big guilds. Crafting professions may not have every recipe, etc. We are striving to have at least one of each profession maxed though.
  
• Because we are small, the odds of getting left out of a raid and always being "On Standby" are small as well. This also means that attendance will be very important as if just a couple people do not make it, then the whole run will have to be called. We will review recruitment as we grow in order to try to minimize this chance by having standby's but we do not want to grow too large.
  
• We will be able to give personal attention to guildmates who need some help. Example: You really need a drop in instance X to get your hit rating capped. We will put this instance on farm and work with you to ensure you get the drop. (With the blessing of /random)
  

Recruitment is restricted to Officers and Raid Leaders. We will only be recruiting classes that we need to fill raid spots. Alts are allowed and can have their EP awarded to a main if this is specifically requested at the time the alt is brought into the guild.

1. If the item is BOE and you can not use it, then click greed. Donating the item to guild bank is appreciated but not required.
   
2. If the item is BOP and you can not use it, and there are no disenchanters available, click greed.
   
3. If the item is BOP and you can not use it, and there ARE disenchanters available, let the disenchanter pick it up, disenchant it, and everyone /roll for the mats.
   
4. If the item is BOE or BOP and you NEED it, click need, if more than one person clicks need, it will sort itself out in a fair roll between needers.
5. Since we are not an alt heavy guild, needing for alts is not allowed on guild runs. This can be bypassed in 5 mans/Heroics if the whole party is agreeable.
   

Since you are a member of Fearless, there are certain rules of etiquette that must be followed.

• We will tolerate no racism of any type and it is grounds for guild removal.
  
• You are wearing our guild tag and will be expected to behave yourself in trade chat, world chat, and PUG's.
  
• Belittlement or harassment of fellow guildies is not an attractive trait and we will deal with each situation after having heard both sides of the story.
  

The Fearless guild bank is a central repository of items and money that will be utilized to help guild progression. As much as we would like to trust everyone with full access to the bank, the forums are full of posts about "The Guild Bank Ninja". It is a sad indicator of the times that we live in. On a brighter note, trust can and will be earned and hard working dedicated contributing guildies will have no problems accessing what they need from the guild bank.

Guild Bank currently has 3 tabs access to the tabs is as follows.

• Any rank may deposit to the first tab and deposit money as well. Items deposited to tab 1 will NOT count towards EP.
  
• All deposits to any other tab must be mailed to Deathoknight so he can award EP based on the contribution.
  
• Members will have the ability to withdraw 5 stacks from the first tab of the bank only.
  
• For items from any other tab of the bank, request a withdrawal from an officer and we will get you the appropriate item either through in game mail or a face to face meeting.
  
• Officers have full access to all tabs.
  

If you are on an alt, or just need an item to create potions, elixirs, or any craftable item in order to recieve EP for crafting them and you do not have rights to withdraw an item from the bank, please inform an officer. Tell them the item you need, the reason you need it, and what tab it is on. All reasonable requests will be honored.

We have a small ventrilo server, this is for guild use only. Officers and the Guild master are allowed to give this address out to PUGS at their discretion. If you are not of this status and need to give out vent information, please ask an officer for permission first. This is not due to us being power hungry, or control freaks, it is due to the fact that our vent server has only 35 slots available at this time.

Vent is for Raids / Instances first, chat second. This means that there is to be no unnecessary talk going on during boss fights. Please be respectful and try not to talk over top of people who are talking, especially guild officers who are relaying information about the encounter.

PUSH TO TALK BUTTON IS REQUIRED, NO OPEN MICS.

EP will be NOT be awarded to guildies who help other guildies farm instances, or craft items for them, etc. in order to get them prepared to raid. It is assumed that everyone wants to better the guild as a whole so that everyone will benefit from the progression of each player. This means that I will have no problem helping farm an instance that I don't need in order for a fellow guildie to get a drop that will benefit the rest of the guild as a whole. Remember, the breaking point in any chain is the weakest link, so the stronger each individual member of a raid is, the better our chances of success as a guild.

**In order to provide an incentive for our main raiders to give up their raid spot to a lower geared member (in order to get a strong group 2 going.) we will award the person who stepped out full EP for any part of the instance that they were available for. Available means either online or reachable by phone/instant message, etc.

Please understand that by filing a grievance you have read and understood the Fearless Guild Policy. Abuse of the grievance system will result in a loss of EP.

A grievance is defined as a "cause for complaint, especially for unjust treatment." Common sense should be used before making a formal grievance to a Guild Officer. The fact that you did not get in a raid in itself or were passed on for loot by itself is not a grievance, there has to be the element of unjust treatment relating to the particular event. Grievances can also include being harassed by members in the guild or other non raid related things. We will try our best to resolve them but we will need a description of the problem in reasonable detail so that we can pursue the problem.

Send a PM via in game mail to the Guild Leader or another Guild Officer about the issue stating the sequence of events which happened and your reason as to why you were treated unfairly. You will be contacted in game while online as a first option, if you are not online, you will be contacted via in game mail. Give the officer a couple days before inquiring about the incident as they may have not yet had the opportunity to read and review your complaint. If the complaint is about an Officer, send a PM with the details of the incident to the Guild Leader and he will handle the case.

Our guild is moving quickly and we will need everyone's cooperation in looking at the bigger picture. Loot should not be the driving force but maturing into a solid raiding guild is. It becomes apparent who is making sacrifices for the betterment of the guild and who is there to cause problems. Let's all strive to help the guild because without teamwork, we will not be able to face tougher challenges.

While the decision of the Grievance Officer is not final, cases will usually be reviewed with other officers. If you are unsatisfied with the decision of the grievance officer whom you approach, the guild leader will handle any appeals.
