On a scale of 1-10, how old is too old to join?
WOTOP!!! Weāre a bunch of cool guys looking for other cool guys who wanna hang out in our guild!
Dudes in good gear encouraged, if youāre weak you should be able to find humor in the little things.
Since joining wotop my life has improved 10x! Being a warrior in wotop is the greatest. You too should be a warrior hereā¦

Hi Boltthrower!
Please contact Stinkymoo or any other officer in-game
We still stand for justiceā¦ promiseā¦
TL;DR: If you are competitive or want to be, you should talk to us and find out if we might be a fit for you.
wotop is rather unique in its approach to the game among previous competitive guilds Iāve played with, where normally thereās one of two basic ways itās going to go: the guild is run like a corporation and exacting standards of performance and decorum are expected at all times, or anything goes as long as youāre good, no matter how little you play outside of raid or how toxic you are. I actually avoided wotop when I first hit 60 because I thought they were one of those two types of hardcore guilds based on the wording of the recruitment post at the time, and I was not interested in being a super sweaty tryhard every week for Molten Core, a raid Iāve probably done a hundred times. I really wish I would have reached out to talk to someone about the guild then, because then I would have learned how different they really are.
wotopās raiders are all sweaty, but itās ultimately rooted in respect for everyoneās time. We run split raids, so weāre intentionally bringing less players than we should into a raid, and that requires everyone to show up prepared and ready to raid on hard mode. As a result, this may mean our parses may not be fantastic, but it also means we only need to flask as long as it takes to get the content on farm with 24 players per group. It also means we donāt have an āAā team and a āBā team where one roster is stacked; players can shift between groups week over week just based on whoās up for what loot. It also means we donāt have to tell members that they didnāt make the roster, because weāre intentionally bringing less than 40 raiders per group, so members are welcome (and encouraged!) to fill out the groups, help with the clear speed, and pick up loot. If we regularly had more than 80 players interested in going, we could always open up a third split and run 27/27/27. It also means we get ~50% more loot, although apparently that doesnāt include TF bindings. No matter how much someone might say theyāre not motivated by loot, it sure is easier to head off any drama at the pass when thereās simply more stuff to hand out.
wotop is really committed to encouraging a sense of community among its players. New members who trial for a raider tag are told that their trial is 50% raid performance and 50% social, and they mean it. wotop is quick to invite, but also quick to encourage folks to move on if itās just not a culture fit, and itās good to discover that early on rather than run into drama in the future. I almost failed the social part of my trial by assuming the guild was toxic sweaty hardcore and that I needed to prove I had the credentials, and I was just an obnoxious jerk about it. This is not that āsecondā type of guild at all, be excellent to each other and party on.
All those factors create a culture that facilitates extremely active and engaged members. If you want to sweat with us, we encourage you to join and trial to be a woticorn, it is rewarding. If you like the idea of raiding at a high level with a locked in group of players but may not have the time to dedicate to serious raid requirements, join as a wotlet and chill out, go as hard as you want to. If you want to engage in meaningful world PvP over control of territory and world bosses, we want to talk to you, too. I donāt consider myself a serious PvPer because I donāt have engineering and Iām not a ranker, but if war is declared, itās ride or die time and Iām going to hold that W key and represent our colors on the battlefield. Your friends are welcome too, even if they donāt raid or PvP, we still need more volunteers to sing on guild karaoke night.
This culture is so unique to me that, like Riesling, the only reason I would see myself leaving wotop is because Iām done playing classic.

A few weeks ago people starting telling me āNothingness, you look taller, more handsome - your bones are less pale - even your spiky hear isā¦ spikier!ā Everyone wanted to know my secret but I refused to tell.
Today I share it with you all - a few weeks ago I joined wotop. Since then Iāve added 90 lbs to my bench press, 30 inches to my vertical leap, learned to play the violin and mastered the French language.
wotop is recruiting and if you are interested in similar personal growth reach out to one of the officers today! Plus - we were recently endorsed by Jesus Christ himself (see Cameo)!

Iāve been in the guild since day one as a raider. If thereās one thing I can say, itās probably the most fair loot distribution Iāve dealt with any guild in any expansion. Regardless of personal connections, the loot goes first to those who are doing the most for the guild ā firstly with raiding, but also through being a community participant. I havenāt run into a single instance where a leader role gives gear to their friends before other guild members, especially since I personally know one of the raid leaders through work. And if farming materials or making gold isnāt your speed, thereās a āraider liteā rank that has lesser requirements for āraid ready consumablesā at the cost of first dibs on loot.
Overall, thereās a little something for everyone in the guild, even if that means you want to role play. Thereās even small communities for other games outside the Blizzard ecosystem. Multiple times there have been guild events for things like Jackbox TV and shooters like PUBG. And if there isnāt a community for something youāre interested in, you can talk to the Discord admins to start up a new one (granted thereās enough interest).
Reach out to someone in wotop if youāre interested. Theyāll get you in touch with the right people to start the application process.

I joined wotop two months ago and itās already put a plate on my deadlift! Thanks, wotop!
wotop good
Been a member of wotop since October 2019. Hands down the best guild Iāve been apart of; I donāt see a scenario where Iād leave.
Finally found my home. I love these peeps. Hard-workinā, fun-lovinā, badass group of gamers.
I had the absolute fortune of stumbling across this guild in December. Joining was the best move I could have made when it comes to enjoying my time playing video games. Itās more than just a WoW Classic guild, this is a community of awesome nerds that care about one another like family. They offer something for everyone, which is so nice considering most people enjoy different and multiple aspects of the game (and quite often play games outside of classic).
You want to do progression raiding? check. World bosses? check. PvP? check. Pick flowers all day? check. Sit at the little pond in TB and RP? check. Have drunken karaoke nights? double check.
TL;DRā¦ wotop is an amazing community, come spend 5 minutes in discord with us and youāll understand too.
Home to Queen Stinkymoo.

Before wotop, I wasnāt the most try hard player in the world. I raided in a non winterās chill deep frost farming spec with no consumes or world buffs. At some point, I decided it was time for me to find a loot council guild that fit my schedule.
Talking to the officers about how the guild operates inspired me to drastically step my game up and run with the wolves. The mage class lead whipped me in to tip top shape with 1,000 pushups, 1,000 sit-ups and 50 mile runs without speed enchant to boots or water breaks while showing me random graphs and spreadsheets. Now my frost bolts apply 5 stacks of sunder armor and all warlock curses ESPECIALLY AGONY cause thatās the only one that matters really.
The environment is amazing, the people are amazing, and Iāve definitely learned a lot since joining. Itās a side to the game/community that I didnāt realize I was missing out on and Iām glad I chose wotop.
Wotop is more than good, itās great!.. jk wotop bad
