-Racism, sexism, bigotry or promotion of real-life violence towards another person. This includes using slurs based on race, color, creed, sex, or sexual identity.

-Harassment of fellow players, whether in guild or not. It is up to you to be the bigger person and remember this is just a game. If another person is harassing you, use the appropriate channels (ignore them, report them to an officer, report them to a GM). Striking back usually just results in you getting banned, not them.

-Openly arguing policies and decisions made by the leadership. We encourage open communication and value the opinions of all of our members. However, sometimes hard decisions must be made by the officers for the good of the majority of the guild. If you do not agree with the decisions, use proper channels (posting on forums or speaking to officers after the raid) to voice you opinion.

-Unethical playing. Those caught using exploits, hacking, ninja-ing, intentionally wiping a group or otherwise playing unethically will be removed.

-Spamming. Whether in general chat, guild chat, yells, ventrilo, wherever, spamming is annoying. Don't do it.

-An officer will investigate the issue.

-If you are found to be the source of the drama, you will be warned and/or removed from the guild (depending on the severity or repetition), regardless of the legitimacy of the reason the drama started. Keep this in mind. You must keep yourself in check... it doesn't matter if you're "right" or "wrong’.

-Depending upon the severity of the issue, all participants may face guild repercussions, be it a temporary suspension of guild participation privileges, loss of guild rank, or removal from the guild.
An excellent rule of thumb to follow is if you think your next comment might start drama, you should probably keep it to yourself (see a pattern here?).

-Violating the Guild Rules. It may take repeated minor infractions or you may go for broke with one big whopper of insolence. If there's a problem, we will solve it as quickly as possible and that may mean removing a player on the spot.

-Threatening to leave the guild if you do not get your way will result in you not having the option to /gquit as you will be removed from the guild on the spot.

-Applying to another guild. We want you here. We aren't gearing you up for bigger and better things; we're gearing you up so that we can do the bigger and better things together. If you have issues that are keeping you from enjoying your time gaming with us, we invite you to discus these with the leadership to see if we can resolve them.

-You're annoying. Our GM’s goal is to have as little drama to deal with as possible. Part of that is making sure that everyone gets along or can at least stand one another. If he constantly get complaints about you and your behavior, that puts a buzzing in his ear, and he doesn’t like his ear to buzz.

-Having an alt in another active guild. You can’t serve two masters; just ask any succubus. She will probably tell you that you are naughty and that she is not touching you.

-Talk to one of the guild officers in game. If we have talked to you about resolving the issues to no avail or if you just feel in your heart that this guild is not a good fit for you, we will wish you the best of luck and see you on your way. We would expect you to de-guild during your normal play times and let the guild know you are moving on.

-We aren't a revolving door so keep this in mind when you leave. If you have the Dorothy complex after you leave (There is no place like home...) and you wish to come back to Psychosis, you will need to reapply to the guild. Remember all applications are reviewed on a case by case basis and there is no guarantee that you will be re-invited to the guild.

a) Player Alts
-Alts of main players are allowed in the guild after the player has graduated from the initiate phase and been added to the guild as a causal or raiding player. We do not guild alts of initiates because we have found it becomes difficult to get to know the new folks when they hop from character to character. Once alts are guilded they are bound by the policies of the guild, same as the alts main character.

b) Raiding Alts (and spec changes)
-For those who have raiding mains, we understand that players sometimes find that another class is more inline with their style of playing. Realize that our goal is balancing the raiding team and your swapping characters may not play a part in furthering that goal.

-If you do feel strongly about switching your raiding main or drastically changing your spec, then please speak to the GL to understand the implications. If there is a need for the class/spec you would like to make your main, we may be able to put you in right away as a raiding player. If you are moving into an already overpopulated class/role, there may not be availability for that role. Please let us know if you are still willing to raid on your former main until there is a spot available for your new main. If not, you will be considered a non-raiding member of the guild and will only be considered as an alternate.

-Our primary raids are Tuesday/Wednesday/Monday from 7:30-11 PM and optionally Sunday from 7-11 PM. All times are server time.

-Your scheduled bathroom break is 30 minutes before raid time, not 5 minutes after.

-All raid participants are expected to log on 30 minutes prior to the scheduled raid time. If your class role is filled in the raid prior to your logging on, your raid slot is forfeit unless you have made arrangements ahead of time with the raid leader. We know that some people are running home from work and may get on a few minutes prior to raid time (your illustrious GM is one of them). Please have your characters in the zone we are raiding with all required materials and repairs made.

-Notice is required if you signed up to raid that night but can not be available. The preferred method of notification is by posting on the "Missing a Raid?" forum.

-Preference for raid spots is given in the order that people signed up for the raid. Additionally, exceptions can be made for required classes, raid member status, and who is online when groups start forming.

-From time to time our raiders will need to craft items that will not be a part of their normal gear, but are intended for specific boss fights. These items (usually resist sets) require a significant amount of very expensive materials. Since these items are for the benefit of the progression of the guild as a whole, we will ask for contributions. Effort put into contributing these items will be considered when people are chosen to fill raid spots.

-Some nights there are more people than it is possible to fit in the limited raid sizing available.  For these nights we have a waitlist that any raid member who meets all relevant requirements for an encounter will be placed on.  If someone needs to leave through the night their spot is filled from the waitlist.  If you are on the waitlist for the entire night you are guarenteed a spot the following night on the same content.

-Flasks and Elixirs are expected for any boss not on farm. Alchemists within the guild can make the most commonly used flasks so you can just buy or trade for the mats. (Keep in mind that all flasks need to be made in the Alchemy Lab in Shat, so don’t ask for one at the raid entrance.) For Gruul’s Lair, flasks can be purchased using easily farmed Apexis Shards.

-Food buffs stack with flasks and are not terribly difficult to farm or buy. They can be great for a little extra oomph on trash prior to breaking out the flasks as well. Food buffs should always be used for boss attempts.

-Several scrolls stack with other buffs as well and can be a useful addition. These are not as easily farmed so are not expected.

-Potions are expected for all participants. Healers and Casters should carry a minimum of 15 mana potions (over 20 is recommended) walking into a raid that is not on farm. Tanks (except for bears) should have a similar number of health pots. Melee DPS should have at least 10 health pots. You say you never need potions? Great! Then you don’t have to keep replenishing those stacks of pots that you are going to bring anyway.

-Beer can be an excellent liquid buff when used properly. Whiskey is also acceptable.

-All non-healing classes must have 375 first aid and carry a stack of heavy netherweave bandages. Healing classes should work on this too, but it is not as essential.

-Reagents for group buffs get used up quickly. If you are sharing the buffing responsibilities with one other person, bring about 60 of the required reagents for 25-man raids. If you are the only one, bring at least 120 reagents for group buffs. Not expected to buff because you don’t have the points in “improved” whatever? Still bring a stack of reagents in case the designated buffer runs low.

-If you have read this far and you are an filling out an application, the correct answer to "Have you read the Expectations and Guidelines and DKP sections?" is: guinness for strength! Please answer the remainder of the questions as requested in the application.

-Show up. On time even.

-Bring the appropriate consumables for your class and role.

-Do your research. It isn’t always gear that allows big differences in individual performance. There is a wealth of information out there on how to get the most out of your class. Use our class forums to ask questions and to share the resources you have found. Use this to figure out what your class brings to each boss fight.

-Follow directions. The raid leaders need everyone to work together in order to successfully beat encounters. This means raiders need to do what is asked of them and follow directions. If a strategy does not work after a few tries, generally a raid leader(s) will ask for some input on ways to fix the problems. This is your chance to give ideas and advice you may have.

-Use an appropriate talent specialization. This will be judged based on your performance in raids. If you are not sure what you should be using, ask around and someone will assist you.

• Omen: This is a threat meter that is more accurate than KTM, but does work with KTM data. Every member must have an up-to-date Omen or KTM.

• BigWigs Boss Mod: This add-on provides critical warnings and timers for raid bosses. This is only required for raiding.

• CT Raid Assist or an equivalent alternative: This add-on provides information to assist the raid leader. This is only required for raiding.

6.)  Raiding Ranks and how they are determined:

1. Good Raid Attendance: Probably about a 70-80% attendance rate or higher.
2. Preparation: 
   1. Equipment for raid is repaired, gemmed, enchanted.   
   2. Strats are read for new encounters BEFORE we attempt a new boss.  
   3. Consumables/Reagents are on that person when raid time begins.  
   4. Summary: This person is in the zone/ready for summon when the raid is scheduled to begin (usually before.)
3. Technical Ability:  Plays class well.  
   1. Correctly Specced (PVE vrs PVP etc.)
   2. Summary: This person gets his/her job done effectively
4. Overall Attitude:
   
   1. No Drama, this is guild policy and carries over into raids.
5. Teamwork: 
   1. Able to look at each persons importance in a raid and NOT be a diva. 1 person does not make a team, regardless of skill.
   2. Able to effectively look past how he/she feels about a certain player personally and still work with that person to get their job done.
   3. Overall positive attitude towards raiding and the guild. Doesn't bring down morale of the raid by whining, finger pointing, or outright mocking a person/situation.  This is especially important when things don't go his/her way.
   4. Summary:  This one is kinda difficult.  This person is an asset to the raid.  They keep things fun, while maintaining good, focused performance.  They are able to encourage better raid performance in themselves and other people, without bringing the whole raid down.  Most of all they are able to function in a team setting WITHOUT bringing a big basket of drama to the table.  They are able to take both our wins AND losses as a learning experience and use them to contribute to future successes.

Psychosis is using the in-game bank feature and has five tabs with varying designations.

• Tab 1: General Usage - This tab is for general guild usage. All members are able to deposit and withdraw from it and use contents for personal use. This does not include personal profit.

• Tab 2: Raider Use - This tab contain materials for those of the Raider rank or above to be used specifically for 25-man raiding.
  

• Tab 3: Crafting Mats - This tab contains herbs, shards, leather, ore and whatever else may be useful for crafting uses. This tab is not here to fund your leveling, but to make items intended for raid use.

• Tab 4: The Nice Stuff Tab (Deposit Only) - This tab is for collection of Resist Gear materials, Epic Quality gems, BoE Epic drops from raids etc.  If you want something from it please let an officer know.
  

There are a few expectations governing bank deposits and withdrawals now that there is increased access to the items in the bank.

• All withdrawals are intended for the use designated by the tab they are filed under. Please do not use Raider Use items for alts or distribute them to members who do not meet the rank qualifications. We intend the items under the Raider Use tabs to be used to support the 25-man progression of the guild.

• Any member found profiting from bank withdrawals should see section B4 of the FAQ.

• All bank donations are voluntary and no member should expect any favors in return for donations.

• Gold donations are not and are never intended to be used for repairs. Gold may be used to fund respec costs incurred specifically for the benefit of the raid or for purchasing the last bank tab (should it become necessary). If you have respecced at the request of the Raid Leader for the benefit of 25-man progression, please let an Officer know the estimated cost of doing so, including any required gear changes (tailoring specialty, gem replacements, etc.). These requests will be reviewed by the Officers who will then issue reimbursement for accepted expenses.
