About the guild BAFFO is a PvE progress oriented guild on the European realm The Maelstrom (PvP), alliance side. The guild was originally formed on Magtheridon in the start of May 2007, but in late September the call was made to transfer over to our current server. It's no secret to anyone on the server that we've had our good and bad times as a guild, but through recruitment and loyalty from our members we have managed to always come out of it stronger. With swift progress we have completed all top-level content currently in the game, and are now spending our time preparing for the next tiers of raiding. Our guild atmosphere is relaxed, but with high expectations to the performance of our members. It is important for us to have fun while playing. As our aim is for PvE progress we try to value quality heavily over quantity. While progressing we generally raid 5 days a week (Sunday to Thursday) from 1900-2400 server time. Fridays and Saturdays are raid-free days, but our members often organize 10man runs on these days. On "farm-status" we generally spend around 2 raids each week to complete the content. Our members are expected to keep up a raid attendance of at least 75%, and to be skilled players who don't need to be taught basic gameplay techniques. Loot system We do not use a regular DKP loot system like many other guilds. Our system employs the use of a loot council (consisting of the officers) which decides who gets every single item that drops. This is based on factors like activity, how big an upgrade the item is, how long since last loot received and performance. It is very important for us that the system remains as fair as possible and that no one is being favoured unfairly, including the officers who make the decisions. If an officer wants an item he is therefore not allowed to vote. Items that are wanted only for offspec or PvP are distributed with /roll. The reasoning behind using this system is to avoid the vast drama potential that typically follows with any DKP system. It is also designed to allow us to evenly spread out the loot among the people who deserve it the most, and to avoid people hoarding points and saving them for an item that may or may not drop in the near future - all while passing on other items that are upgrades for them. It also allows new recruits to become eligible for loot without having to spend months catching up with older members. Officers Here is a list of the current officers.
