Guest28 August 2022 at 00:59Post count: 187Dear (probably because of being very misunderstood) violent Circus people,
Welcome to my application. Again.
I hope you’re well. Again!I did sent out my application 7 months ago (https://www.violentcircus.com/topic/holy-disc-priest/). Back then you didn’t have a slot left, but Fluffly mentioned that we should stay in contact until there’s a slot left. I was lucky that Fluffy asked me 2-3 months later if my application was still active. Unfortunately I’ve found a home at that time already.
Now I’m back! And I’ve updated my former application. Added some parts, rewrote some, shortened others for easier readability. So let’s go :)
Like you wrote in your WoWProgress text: “If you want a place to call home again, after years of wandering around the world (of Warcraft) […] look no more.” This is what I deeply desire to find. I have felt so seen, reading your vast WoWProgress text. So let me take this chance to introduce myself.

2009: 3.0 content farm & 3.1 PTR Progression (WotLK)
2021: 8/10 CN & 10/10 SoD
2022: 11/11 SFOHistory of Previous Guilds:
#100 Utopie-Blackrock (3.0 & 3.1 PTR)
— BREAK —
#5194 Simulacrum-Blackmoore (9.0) -> Guild died
#2496 LastStand-Blackrock (9.0)
#2618 Globa-Thrall (9.1) -> Guild almost died (noticed “almost” too late)
#3443 Lifeboat-ArgentDawn (9.1) -> Guild died
#2331 Wiped-Nozdormu (9.1.5)
#1001 Zero Gravity-Alleria (9.1.5)
#479 Sodium-Ravencrest (9.2)
#1090 Influenza-Outland(9.2.5)Why did you leave them?:
#100 Utopie-Blackrock (3.0 & 3.1 PTR): Got accepted to a World Top 100 Guild during Naxx farm & Ulduar PTR. Loved the dedication the players and leaders showed. I however left after 1 month for 2 reaswons: One, the raid leader was a toxic and choleric asshole, but I think many raid leaders back then were like that. Second, I couldn’t accept the 6 days/week raid schedule. So I had to leave and since I didn’t want to go back to low-level-raiding, I stopped playing altogether.— BREAK —
#5194 Simulacrum-Blackmoore (9.0): They took me as a returning player with 0 logs. I learned that raiding is insanely fun now and that I still love Holy Priest. Also tested out Discipline for the first time. Like in 2008, I learned that this guild’s ambitions are too casual for me. Also, raids were cancelled and the raid was disbanded anyway.
#2496 LastStand-Blackrock (9.0): Got accepted as Holy Priest for now, but they wanted me to play Discipline, latest by 9.1. As I was overwhelmed by Disc at that time, I decided to leave the guild when 9.1 arrives and do a little WoW break to reflect: Do I want to stick to Priest, but learn to main & master the difficult Disc spec – or do I switch to Resto Shaman which is also fun, but I don’t feel the class/race fantasy too much?
#2618 Globa-Thrall (9.1): Decided to return as a Holy Priest main and was happy to find a new home. Unfortunately, there were 3 raids cancelled in 2 weeks in September and it felt like the raid was dying like I experienced with Simulacrum. And I was afraid to repeat history. So, as I was super hungry for experience and raiding fun, I decided to find a new home that is actively raiding.
#3443 Lifeboat-ArgentDawn (9.1): I used this opportunity to finally try out an RP server, as I’ve only made wonderful experiences on RP servers with twinks and characters on Classic servers. Very fun guild that was socially super active, which I LOVED. Raiding, M+, other fun games outside of WoW. But unfortunately this raiding guild sooner or later died out and I had to move on.
#2331 Wiped-Nozdormu (9.1.5): I greatly appreciate that they let me start learning some more Discipline Priest on progress, a safe space and a good learning environment. Even though they were an active raiding guild, outside of raids there wasn’t much happening. No active community like I’ve seen it in previous guilds for just hanging out and playing together. Also, their progress was slower than I wanted it to be.
#1001 Zero Gravity – Alleria (9.1.5): Enjoyed their raiding tempo lots which lead me to my first CE, which made me very happy. Left with the end of my trial period as only 2 raid days with 7 regular healers was not looking like I would get the playing time & experience that I wanted at that time.
9.2: 11/11M.
#479 Sodium – Ravencrest (9.2): I had two goals this tier.
1) Stay all tier long with a guild even if it doesn’t fit. I wanted to check: Am I the problem or were the reasons leaving my former guilds legit?
-> Stayed for the tier, goal achieved. I learned that it just took time to learn what personal raiding times are good for me during & outside of covid-lockdowns and also what level of motivation in gameplay I was looking for. It’s all a process and I feel like I got it now. :)
2) Finishing this tier as disc.
-> Goal partially achieved. Disc started being viable at Halondrous, but we were inmidst of the boss nerf waves and I had to constantly switch back to Holy in order to not hinder guild progress, which made me not getting any disc kill during prog. Progressed Jailer 250 pulls in, unfortunately, he was killed right during my summer vacation.I quit because..
1) Raid was Sundays & I learned that I want to be able to party on Sundays. Clubs were closed (Covid) at beginning of 9.2 but opened during progress. I finished progress with this guild but missed some very fun clubbing days bc of that.
2) I wanted to learn how to disc properly!#1090 Influenza – Outland (9.2.5): Joined purely for learning disc & needed a slower progressing guild for this. Progressed last 2 bosses as disc & finally got my CE.
Obviously can’t return to Sodium due to Sunday raids, so looking for a nice home now. Hopefully with you! :)How did you find out about Violent Circus?:
I found you via WoWProgress, while I was scouting for successful and likeable RP progress guilds. I was veeeery happy to read your vast WoWProgress description! I do own a little liquor company with friends and I’m the guy that also takes care of sales, administration and finance stuff. Spreadsheets help me out LOTS in my work – I love them. So I also started creating a big spreadsheet for my quest of finding my WoW home. And you landed on it with the very important “RP” tag, being a world top <1000 guild, and a comment in column J stating “They make a big effort! I like them”. That made me finally take the time to apply.Why do you think this guild is fit for you and what are your expectations from us?:
– High performing + Communicative
I am looking for a very well performing guild that has come that far because they are good in communication. A guild where people talk to each other in raids to improve progress strategy and spotting errors quickly, and also a guild that is good in communication outside of raids so that I easily can find peers to play M+ or do other shenanigans with in WoW. Looking at how you present yourself on WoWProgress – the depth and professionality of your text – plus listening to your comms in certain kill videos – I have a feeling that you folks are what I am looking for.
– Playing with friends
Also, like I wrote in the introduction, I am looking for a HOME. Not just a raiding spot. I would love to wander around the World of Warcraft with friends. And when WoW’s content is in too much of a draught, I would love to have friends from this guild to play other (mini)games with!What can you bring to the team?:
A highly motivated healer that has a big passion for WoW Mythic Raiding. I’m very open to talking about mistakes and points of improvements within raids – not shy with my mic at all. I’m also open to learn something new, as I’ve proven by my latest discipline priest journey. Right now, I’m learning how to Resto Druid and it’s lots of fun. Even though I love raiding and playing a lot, I understand that a boss may require a certain composition which leads to benching. In that regard, I’m open to join the healer ranks with both my Priest and my Druid. I also love to get to know my guildies and do things with them together: So with me, you will have a guildie that contributes to a living guild atmosphere.Availability(How often are you available, etc.):
I’m available for all days during the week, and spontaneously for weekend shenanigans. Exceptions are when I do have holidays. Which are 2-3 weeks during summer and 1-2 weeks during winter. Except for my vacation during Jailer progress, I never missed a raid day so far and obviously I would notice vacation plans way ahead of time so we can all plan accordingly.Anything else you would like to add?:
Would love to talk to you some more about your guild via coms. I’m curious to find out about how your guild is socially structured. Do people hangout after/outside of raids? Do people play M+? And many more :)Would love hearing back from ya!
Thanks for your time,
Simon | QyriellHello Simon,
Thank you for a long and well written application.
We would like to have a chat with you. Could you please add/DM Xethi#7709 on discord?Qyriell | Simon
Guest29 August 2022 at 00:55Post count: 187Hi Biffen,
awesome. Yes, sure. Just sent out a request :)
Hi Simon,
Thanks for taking the time out to have a chat with us yesterday and your very well written application.
At this time we have decided to decline your application. This is based on a mixture the class fit, your understandable inability to commit to sundays, and your recent experience being a little less than what we are looking for.
We wish you the best of luck in search of your next home in World of Warcraft.
