6. You will need lots of consumables to keep up with the pace during progression raids. Do you have the will and time to put in enough effort to keep an adequate amount.Absolutely. I always come fully prepared for each and every raid night.
7. Will you come to a progression raid having already read any available information relevant to encounters? Of course. I heavily research every new encounter, as well as test them on the PTR if it is available.
8. What do you think about beginning raids early and staying beyond the required raid times to down new content? Starting early and ending late is perfectly acceptable during progression.
9. Post a WWS report / Wow Meter Online of a few recent raids in your guild. If your guild does not run these, post a screenshot(s) of your recount for some boss encounters. (DO NOT LEAVE THIS OUT) http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-lvst47glum98qbca/
10. Post a screenshot of your UI while in a raid environment (in combat). (Give a list of any relevant addons not shown.)http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u193/ungul/WoWScrnShot_070311_180140.jpg?t=1311053866

2. If you have a gathering profession, what is stopping you from dropping it for a profession that benefits your stats more? N/A
F. Other Questions
1. What guild are you currently in? Who is/was the GM? Include their website HardcoreCasuals - Satat - http://www.hccguild.com/
2. Why are you leaving your current guild?
I am looking to leave my current guild for multiple reasons. Attendance has been getting worse and worse over the recent weeks, and it has slowed progression to a standstill. Those who can no longer make raids have been replaced with recruits who are well below average, and are only there to fill empty spots. As of right now, the guild is in the process of transferring to Korgath, but there are 3-5 members who will not be going. The raid team which is already incomplete would be far worse off than it currently is, and I want to be a part of a guild that is progressing, not regressing.
3. Do you play actively outside of raiding? Typically, yes I do. It depends on my work/college schedule of course, but I am usually online for varying lengths of time outside of raids.
4. Are you able to take and improve upon harsh criticism? I tend to be my biggest critic, but I am able to take and improve upon any criticism one may have for me.
5. There will be bench time. Everyone will have to sit at one point in time or another. Are you okay with this? Though I am seeking a full time position, I don't have a problem with sitting when necessary.
6. Why are you interested in joining Acquired Taste? do you currently know anyone in Acquired Taste? While progression is important, and is something I seek in any guild I apply to, I am looking for a guild that is stable and will not fall apart. This guild has the stability that I am looking for, as well as progression. Being able to fit in well with the rest of the members is also something I look for when applying to a guild.
7. What are the other guilds you applied to? any particular reason why you are shopping for multiple guilds? I have not applied to any other guilds.
8. How can we contact you outside of the game?
