Hello, Iron Edge!
Character: Gorat
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Gorat/advanced
Class/Spec: Priest (Healer)
Member Type: pvp
Personal Info:
My name is Tobie, the full name being Tobie Immi Leroy Cheng Richardsson. I'm 20 years of age since February 5 and I am currently studying my last year of what would be, through the swedish school system, roughly translated as collage. I live in Stockholm, Sweden, but I study in a town roughly 200miles away which leaves me with an average of 6-7hours of commuting each day. Happy-go-fun-times!
I'm a friendly guy and although I have some shy tendencies when I'm around new people it usually doesn't take too long for me to get used to a new social group and I am not hesitant to voice my opinion.
Class/Spec:
I've always enjoyed playing the role of a healer and although I've always played around with every class and spec, the 4set Chakra and 2set Holy Spark changes seen in Pandaria finally gave the Holy Priest its spot in PvP as a low-cast high-output healer.
Alts:
I tend to max out every available class each expansion but for this perticular expansion I've played my Affliction Warlock(season 14) and Unholy Death Knight(season 13) above 2000 in RBG's. I have ocasionally played 2s and 3s as Restoration Druid, Holy Paladin and Holy Priest but I haven't actually played any serious arena above 2k since TBC.
(Jaenelle, Caeluria, Isdathorns, Endumen, Feelmypewpew, Dreanox, Douwn, Rhyann, Shaobu, Rukzhar)
Professions:
On my priest (Gorat) I currently do not have any professions since I haven't played the character competetively yet. Maxing prof's becomes quite the hazzard when you already have each prof' maxed.
If I had to max something it'd probably be LW/Enchanting because of the easy acquirable core stat benefits that comes with them, I much prefer passives over on-use abilities.
PvP Experience:
As mentioned before I haven't played any competetive(2k+) arena since TBC but back then I went 2.5k+ as an Elemental Shaman in 3s and 5s. As of experience in RBG's I started out as a Fire Mage/Feral Druid/Holy Paladin at 1800 my first season in Cata. (We were really just playing for fun inbetween Heroic Firelands and Heroic Dragon Soul) Also as mentioned in the "Alt's" section I went 2k+ in both season 13 and 14 as Unholy and Affliction respectively with Pumped PvP. I have a hard time evaluating my own performance so if you are further interested feel free to contact my former guild master Aniar of Pumped PvP for additional information.
Previous Guilds:
I started out as a PvE'r in Vanilla raiding MC/BWL/ZG/World Bosses on my Mage getting close to some server firsts on Frostmane. From there on not much happened, I stayed guildless in TBC on Stormscale and didnt do more than some casual arenas until the last two seasons (Vengeful and Brutal) where I managed to find a serious team for 3s and 5s as mentioned above. In WotLK I found my way back to Agamaggan and the guild "Tavern of the Lazy Peons". Here I finally found soil to put down roots and I stayed with the guild doing everything from server first Heroic progression to RBGs till the beginning of MoP when the guild had a fall out and pretty much got abandoned. This is when I found my way to Pumped PvP(which you probably know the story behind with various members applying) which I have stayed with since, although as of late I haven't been very active because of various reasons.
Availability:
With a solid schedule I can make myself available at the advertised 20:00 @ Tuesdays. Further availability will vary depending on schedule but nothing is impossible. As long as there's a heads up I will probably be available.
Communication:
English is my secondary languish and one that I enjoy. TS3 has been our main means of communication, I'm a good listener and I have a microphone available.
System / Connection:
I have a decent computer that works fine with most games. I rarely if at all disconnect and my standard FPS is around 60 and my MS around 24.
As of last week my FPS has dropped significantly due to unknown reasons, the internet providor has had some issues but those should be resolved by now.

Why Iron Edge?
I'm looking for a guild with prospects for WoD be it PvE or PvP I enjoy both aspects of the game. As the current character is not properly geared yet (not full Grievous) a social spot to get a feel of the guild would be more then enough. Getting the last few pieces wont take long though.
What I can offer Iron Edge:
A well-rounded, steady and reliable player with experience in both PvP and PvE. Although obviously it's hard to contribute to a playerbase that are Multi-glads in the sense of knowledge. :)
Where I heard about Iron Edge:
Friends, guildies.
Last Words:
Will there be more cat pictures? :D

Very nice application! I'm a little worried about your character not having a lot of stats to back up the claims you make in your application. Could you link the armory profiles of some of your formerly high-rated characters?
Also am I reading correctly that you got up to 2500 rating in The Burning Crusade?
-
Think this was a very well written application, nevertheless :)
Last Words:
Will there be more cat pictures? :D
Yes, loads and loads!
-
Of course! and yes that is from TBC and is hardly relevant, I would not rank myself at 2500 current rating.
This is my character for season 14:

This is a very good application! Your experience in RBG's are good as well :)
If you're ready to do RBG's, I don't see why you would have a social spot instead.

+ 1 to what Vanessa said , totally support this kind of ppl - friendly and putting effort . Hope to see you on board and active as well :)
Regards , Tets.

An effort? An effort would be HALF of what he wrote xD
-
I'm a little confused as to why you don't have the 1550 achi in 3's on either character, nor armory statistics. Then again I may be missing something it's early. Also isn't 2500 pretty much rank 1 in tbc?
-
As stated in the application I haven't been doing much arena since back in TBC and the ranking was very far from rank 1 since there wasn't any cap on rating, back then the top teams went up to and above 3k :)!
-
Uh I think you're mistaken, there was a cap on rating at 3k until season 5, first team to go over 3k was in 2010. Also I think saying "not played any serious 3v3(2k+) recently" is kinda misleading as you haven't played anything in 3s above 1550 for like 5 years and currently have no proof of ratings, got any screenshots or titles from tbc?
-
Even if he had 2500 or 1000 rating in TBC it's not relevant at all. Im gonna focus on his latest experience from the last few seasons and they seem good, at least in RBG's. This application is by far one of the better ones also!
Are you working on that gear though? It's not too good atm.

Yeah but making it up is relevant surely?

Ofc lying in your application is not acceptable..
But his experience back in TBC was on another account he says, so there is no way he can prove it and there is no way you or anyone else can prove it either, you have no right to claim he's lying.

Appart from the fact that 2500 was glad or rank 1 in tbc. I know you all get excited over an app over 30 words but I don't think you should brush aside 0 proof and a general misunderstand of rating caps at that time etc

To prove it, or not to prove it - it's not relavant
If he claimed to have glad last season and couldn't prove it, i'd be bothered

I agree its not relevant i just don't like bullshitters, now it may be that he's got his facts wrong but its not just me that thinks its a wierd claim, rash actually brought it up with me, super, pirtu etc. I've also asked haxan and holtz and they both agreed that 2500 was rank 1 kinda rating in tbc and no single team went above 3k - this is from 2 guys who actually played at 2500 in tbc.
-
So it was rank 1? Who are you to say that what he claims he had is bullshit? You know people who had 2500 rating in TBC, it's not impossible. Don't think you should say it's bullshit when you don't actually know - just because it sounds highly unlikely dosen't mean it's pure bullshit.
-
I didn't say it was bullshit, i just said i dont like bullshitters, i'm still waiting for him to reply, i'm sure he can defend himself, but right now he has 6/7 people all thinking its not right.
Also, i know he was playing ele but 2500 as a 13 year old seems even more unlikely.

I agree it does sound unlikely. I hope he have something good to say to all this as well.
-
As stated in-game and here it's really an irrelevant topic with the immense changes to pvp from then and now. Thinking that a 13 year old can't play the game properly is simply fooling yourself, there is potential everywhere. We had a top player last season who was a 13year old from Denmark that definately belonged at 2.2k+. Unfortunately there is no proof of this 8 year old gameplay because the rating has never held any meaning to me, the players that I play with does though. This kind of synical and frankly unpolite behaviour is not something that I look for in fellow guild members and I would like to withdraw my application.
Kind regards.
-
I'd like to apologize for what Doomslay was saying. His personal feelings do not reflect what the rest of the guild, and especially the guild management, thinks.
As mentioned before, the ratings people acquired in TBC don't really matter any more, since it was a completely different game. However, confidently stating inaccuracies is something that I've seen for a long time when I was in charge of PvP recruitment. So that could explain why all this spiraled a little out of control.
Based on the information you have provided, I think it's likely that you are confusing WotLK with TBC, since all of the arguments you've made line up pretty well with a WotLK-type situation.
So now that all that is out of the way -
You've applied with a priest that you hardly have any experience on, and all of the characters you've linked are undergeared, except for your warlock. So your warlock is clearly the character I'm more interested in.
Based on your decent application, and the fact that you seem like a really nice guy, I'm willing to give you an invite to the guild. I would like you to reconsider withdrawing your application. Whatever Doomslay has said in this thread are just the thoughts of a single individual, one that currently has hardly anything to do with the Iron Edge PvP team.
Hope that clears this situation up. If you have any more questions you can talk to me or Anarawen personally in WoW. I'll be online most of the day. :)

At least it will be one more hopefully active person to play WoW and not HS or whatever other game , and we are in need of those . :)
