Our Philosophy

Tags: English

"As you will read in our History page, we stopped raiding in April 2011. So for now, we raid only with friends and enjoy the game in a casual way. Therefore, we rarely accept any new members and stay as it is, till we decide to start again. This whole page, reflects our philosophy in the game and through this page, you will understand how we see the game, and expect how we will behave if we ever find the motivation to start again -> On April 2012, we started again, reformed on Twlight's Hammer and prepare ourselves for Pandaria. In this new era, we are focusing to maintain 2 10-man raiding groups, equally killing bosses each week, and with this process, be able to test people so we can reach 25-man raids again. We have a specific master-plan that we follow it, read more below".

Samurai is established on an unconventional foundation from the majority of guilds out there. We didn’t build and maintain the guild to simply exist but because we have a certain image/approach of the game, our vision and how we pursue it. Let’s analyze this in a reverse way :

Things we don’t appreciate :

1. We don’t like people who claim that Greeks can’t form and operate a successful guild!
2. We don’t like the type of players who baptize their toons randomly as if they were drunk.
3. We don’t like guilds that function in a chaotic manner, bypassing rules and regulations or actions by guild members that contradict them.
4. We don’t like a Guild with a democratic cover but in reality loot is distributed in unorthodox ways. The logic we operate the guild is crystal clear and based on rules and regulations that everyone read and comprehended upon applying.
5. We don’t like Officers who act based on personal preferences, favoring their friends.
6. We don’t like Guild Masters that are inactive and rarely appear in the game.
7. We don’t like to maintain a poorly designed site that lacks content and its not practical to serve the purposes of the guild. We do believe that our Site is the reflection of our Guild.
8. We don’t want our Core Raiders to neglect their raiding responsibilities and being inactive (i.e. showing up once weekly when they ought to raid 2 times per week). Our Core Raiders (Kuge) actively participate in raids and in the event of being unable to log in they notify their respective officers. You can’t have everything going your way when you can’t meet Guild’s raiding criteria.
9. We don’t like the statement : “Do you have a microphone? We only want you to listen and execute; you don’t talk back”. Above all we are a group of friends and not robots.
10. We don’t like Guilds who operate in an unorganized manner. That you are granted admission via a simple /ginvite and the guild sails without any guidance or vision. There is good planning in our guild but if you simply want to join for fun you are still welcome. You will attain the respective “casual” rank and we will see you in our next meetings!
11. We don’t like the lack of structure. We consider necessities our Site, proper Officers/Coordinators, Teamspeak, RL meetings, GM to work as a maestro for all this. If any of these strikes you as odd seek elsewhere for a Guild.
12. We don’t like the sentence : “I have read/studied/was told/saw in my dream the following tactic to defeat this Boss” during our raids. If you have a suggestion or plan about an encounter you can discuss it with the raid leader before the raid commences. If he thinks that is worthwhile we will adopt it. If not, we wont. In any case the sole responsible to take raiding decision is by definition the raid leader. He knows how to pull the strings. Our aim is not to simply slay the boss but to do it right.
13. We don’t like people that don’t have a microphone. Microphone is a necessary tool, a mean of communication, that we want our guild members to use.
14. We don’t like guild members that refuse to improve their gameplay and fix their errors. Listen to your coordinators, they are are more experienced. If you want to express your disagreement do so, by presenting your arguments; as humans we are all prone to mistakes.
15. We don’t like slackers in our raiding core. We want every single raider to maximize its toon’s potential and produce quality work. We do monitor closely our players’ performance and take appropriate action if stats reveal that someone is not pushing it to the limit. We hate the type of players that like and are used to being carried by others.
16. We don’t like players that clearly stated that they want to follow the Casual road but expect to be treated equally as Hardcore Raiders on the loots department. You make your choices, you have to accept the consequences. You either fight with us on the front line or casually having fun. These two cant exist simultaneously.
17. We grow tired of players that lack the genitals to openly voice their opinion/disagreement/argument on our forums that by definition it’s the place to discuss everything that revolve around the guild, but instead they decide to /gquit like cowards after receiving an avalanche of loots. If problems arise we like to hear and be offered a table of solutions.
18. We don’t like homo-Alliance. We are Horde and proud : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW_Lv0r-l4c
