Where in the world is

Magesage?

Eye in the Sky was created to serve players that enjoy working together to solve the challenges that WOW has to offer.  The name was inspired by two amazing creations:

• The first being the E-8C Joint STARS aircraft... this aircraft looks down from high above and views the ground with an omniscient eye.  The capability seems somewhat magical, much like the rush of an AOE blizzard from a mage or a hunter's ability to track targets that others cannot see.

 

• The second inspiration was that of the famous song by the same name.  There is something awe inspiring about the lyrics.  They describe how you are basically going to pwn your opponent as you begin a battle to the death.  (Here is a link to a cheesy video on U-Tube with The Alan Parsons Project singing Eye in the Sky)

Goals -

The Number One goal of the Eye in the Sky Guild is to HAVE FUN. 

In the pursuit of fun, we run instances together, help one another achieve quest objectives and generally provide helpful information when someone asks a question.  Sometimes we even provide each other with items that help us in our adventures.  And yes, we sometimes give each other a good natured hard time so don't be surprised if you see two guildies ripping into each other on guild chat one minute and then running an instance as Tank and DPS the next. 

Sure, one day we may change our goals to include buying Dalaran from Tiny Baby, but at this point, many of our members have not even been to Dalaran!!!  So until then, let's have some fun!

Rules -

The only rule we have is the Golden Rule: do unto others...

Think about it.  If you needed to loot the last boss in an instance and your tank said "g2g" right before the last room, would you be a happy camper?  If you put something into the bank with the expectation that another guildie would use it to their advantage only to find out that they took it and sold it on the AH so they could add to their personal bank... would you be happy?  (Oh yeah... no pirate talk, at least till after 10pm.  My kids play this game too)

One more thing... DON'T LET THE DRUID DIE!!!  Who else is going to rez you :)

Expectations -

Guild Bank - We have a lot of stuff in the guild bank.  If you need it, take it.  But, at some point down the road please put something back! (That includes Repair Gold... that stuff doesn't just magically appear.)

Instances - It's all about managing expectations...

• If you know you can't stay on for the entire length of the instance, let the group know AHEAD OF TIME.  This will give them an opportunity to decide if they want to chance it or if they want to let someone else run that can stay the whole time. 
• Need vs. Greed... If you play with me specifically (Magesage), everyone Greed rolls.  This makes it totally fair since it is a random number generator (except for the fact that I rarely win a greed roll for some odd reason).  There is ONE EXCEPTION... if you say ahead of time that the whole reason you are going is in case something specific drops then you can roll Need.  Actually, if you let everyone know ahead of time they will most likely select Pass and then you are guaranteed to get your item.  In the heat of battle it is too easy to read something wrong and select Need (I did it for a blue ring drop that I thought had spell power.  Turned out it was a tank ring with attack power and even though I asked, the tank was still really annoyed.  I was so focused on targeting the next boss I just totally misread the pop-up).  Keep in mind, you are free to set your own rules when you lead the group, but remember that people make mistakes and some hurt feelings and annoyed toons could be the result!

Our Ranks -

• Aviator- Guild Leader
• Flight Instructor - Officer
• First Flight - Member in Great Standing
• In Training - Member in Good Standing
• Hangar Queen - Alt Toons that serve as a bank or members that haven't logged on in over a month

How do you get promoted?  Well, it is all based on your reputation within the Guild.  You should be immediately promoted to "In Training" so you will have access to the Bank.  Beyond that, the Officers have to agree that your contribution and reputation warrant a promotion to First Flight.  We will talk about it and give promotions once per week.  Running Instances, helping others quest, providing answers to questions and not acting like an idiot are the basic requirements.  Oh yeah, depositing useful items (including gold) into the Guild Bank helps too!!!
