Guild Rules & Code of Conduct

Our rules exist to protect the community. Read them, understand them, follow them.

A Word from the Guild Master

Tatta United was founded on the principle that you can be competitive AND have fun. We're semi-hardcore — we push content seriously during raid hours, but we're also a community of friends. These rules aren't here to be authoritarian; they're here to ensure everyone has a great time. If you have questions, my DMs are always open.

— Rathe, Guild Master & Mass Tatta

Respect & Maturity

We are a community first. Treat everyone with respect.

  • No racism, sexism, homophobia, or any form of discrimination — zero tolerance.
  • No targeted harassment or bullying of any guild member, pug, or player.
  • Keep guild chat and voice comms friendly. Banter is fine, toxicity is not.
  • Personal disagreements should be resolved in private or with officer mediation.
  • Remember: behind every character is a real person.

Raid Attendance

Semi-hardcore means commitment. We rely on each other.

  • Maintain a minimum of 75% raid attendance per month (2 out of 3 raids).
  • Sign up on the raid calendar at least 24 hours before raid time.
  • If you cannot make a raid, post in #absences on Discord BEFORE the raid.
  • Consecutive no-shows without notice may result in demotion to Member rank.
  • We understand real life comes first — just communicate with us.

Raid Preparedness

Come prepared. Respect the time of 24 other raiders.

  • Bring all required consumables: flasks, food buffs, potions (health/mana AND damage/healing), elixirs if not using flask.
  • Have all gear enchanted and gemmed with appropriate (not cheap) enchants/gems.
  • Know the boss fights. Read our Guides section or watch videos before progression fights.
  • Be online and at the instance entrance 15 minutes before raid invites.
  • Repair your gear before the raid. No "I forgot" excuses.

Communication

Discord is our primary communication platform.

  • All raiders MUST be on Discord during raids with a working microphone.
  • Keep voice comms clear during boss encounters — call only mechanics.
  • Read #announcements and #raid-info channels regularly.
  • Use the appropriate channels for discussions (no spam in #general).
  • Officers will communicate in English; other channels can be multilingual.

Loot Council Rules

Loot is distributed fairly by the officer team.

  • We use a Loot Council system. Officers decide based on: attendance, performance, current gear, and raid benefit.
  • Whisper the Loot Master if you want an item. State if it's BIS or a sidegrade.
  • Do NOT complain about loot decisions in raid chat or voice comms. If you disagree, DM an officer after the raid.
  • Trials have lower loot priority unless no one else needs the item.
  • Legendary items (Hand of A'dal, etc.) are decided by a guild-wide officer vote with attendance and contribution as factors.

Guild Bank & Resources

The guild bank serves the guild, not individuals.

  • Deposits into the guild bank are appreciated but not mandatory (flasks, primals, recipes).
  • Withdrawals for progression raiding consumables are approved by officers.
  • Do not abuse guild bank access. Taking items to sell on AH is grounds for removal.
  • Enchanting materials are provided free for raid-relevant enchants via our Guild Enchanter (Plague).
  • Crafting materials for resistance gear during progression will be provided from the bank.

Prohibited Behavior

The following will result in immediate action.

  • Cheating, hacking, exploiting bugs, or using third-party automation tools.
  • Ninja-looting in any guild or pug run while wearing our guild tag.
  • Sharing guild strategies, WeakAuras, or internal drama with other guilds.
  • Griefing or intentionally wiping the raid.
  • Real-money trading (RMT) or gold buying.

Disciplinary Process

Fair but firm. We believe in second chances, not third.

  • First offense (minor): Private warning from an officer.
  • Second offense: Written warning logged in officer notes. Player is put on notice.
  • Third offense: Demotion or temporary raid bench (1-2 weeks).
  • Severe offense: Immediate /gkick. This includes any form of discrimination, exploit use, or ninja-looting.
  • Appeals can be made to the Guild Master (Rathe) directly.
