Who are you?
My name is Ben Mckerr.
Where are you from?
Northern Ireland (British)
How old are you?
Im 19 years old.
What kind of work do you do?
I am a caterer for my family's business, im extremely flexible so i can work anytime I like, I also have a computer repair business.
What's your situation at home like?
Great family, live with my parents, siblings are a pain but arent they all ? :P
What kind of internet connection do you have?
My net is with BT total/unlimited Im on the exchange which gives me around 24-40 mb.
What are the core specs of your computer?
Intel(R) Core(TM)2Duo CPU - Windows XP 4gb RAM custom built with over average specs and graph cards ect.
How long have you been playing computer games and what kind?
Ive been playing them as far back as I can remember, it would be a variety throughout the years, ive played roleplays, mmorpgs, 2ds, flash, for example, Conquer online, mine craft, shaiya, runescape maybe switch to a few shooters aswell like CoD or BF - strategies WH, TW. It all varies.
What kind of raiding experience do you have?
Ill be totally honest, im new to raiding ive done a few HoTs on my warlock but im not fond of casters, a lock was my first ever class and my first 85 it took me a few months to get there as i kept to myself and had no help. I ended up creating my dk about 2 weeks after i finished my lock and worked from there, im currently gearing but you will see in my armoury link. I have raided a few times in BH on my DK and lock alike. Also a few 70 raids. I played a few pservers in my time aswell when i couldnt afford wow last year (short fall) And raided BoT and BwD on there with my healer druid.
What other guilds have you been in and why did you decide or were forced to move on?
The only guild I have been in is Aztéch, they were a great guild i wont lie, i made quite alot of friends there, they helped me when i was on my warlock. The reason I have moved on from there is because I am looking to raid, they have opened doors for me and helped me move on aswell, they had 2 RG's and both were full and queued for next spots so I could not really stay. I PvPed for them aswell as a leader but there wasnt much interest due to it mainly being a raiding guild.
Do you actively play any alts that we could find you in in case we need to contact you?
I would only switch between my warlock and myself which would be VøøÃøø.
If you are a cross-server applicant, name someone from your home server that can vouch for you.
No i am not a cross server applicant
What are your plans for the game?
My plans for the game ? I guess its like any other guys/gals plan, i hope to move on with my gear, get full on into raiding and move on up and get better, meet new people who could probably be friends on there for years to come, be respected as a fellow player aswell tbh.
In what way would you like others to know you?
I would like to be respected, a good friend, someone the could come to for advice or a sub for AH or to help them out with whatever i can do at the best of my ability.
Tell us about your personality, and why you enjoy the game.
Im a really out going guy, i get on with everyone, im never tempered, im pretty humourous i would laugh at alot of things or if something goes bad i would look on the bright side of things. I enjoy the game because not only does it let people enjoy a complete new experiance for gaming than other games. It lets people meet others, play along people they never thought they would meet, become a respected person, a leader or a teammate i enjoy the game for those reasons solely the entertainment, the friends, the experiance.
Name one thing you don't like about WoW in its current state.
To be real honest , i dont think i have anything against wow at this time, maybe its because im still learning most things about the game itself, i guess we all learn something new everyday!
But..priest bubbles
Your character
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/aszune/Adderz/simple
My character is a blood DK, and as you can see im still gearing, maybe im faulty on some gems or enchants ect but of course im still learning aswell, any and all advice/help will be taken with a serious thought.
Just in case my DK does not qualify i would like to link this for my alt

Please link to your armory profile.
If your armory does not show your intended spec then please make a template of it and link it.
Why did you decide to play this class?
I decided to play this class because its a strong melee class, its a fun class to play with a variety of skills, i enjoy tanking, it feels like im leading the team, i have a responsibility.
What do you think your class' role is in raid content?
Comment on your build. Why did you choose it? What do you think of other builds of your class? Why didn't you choose one of those? (important question)
As i said, i choose blood because it gives me responsibility, i feel like im leading a team through thick and thin, keeping them safe along side the healer. I did not choose frost or unholy because to be honest, frost was far too OP when i played, alot of people criticised me before it was nerfed that they were faceroll, which they were I switched to blood (which we all know sometimes can be the same) because i thought it had a wider range of skills to use and the survival skills to stay alive. Unholy, i never tried tbh, it was the one class that did not appeal to me.
This guild
What do you look for in a guild?
I look for 'respect' in a guild, as i have noted that i want to be as well above, i look in a guild to see a community of players who help eachother, have a laugh along the way, lvl/raid/pvp together, i hope to see a guild that do not have a disregard for other players.
''Dead Men Raiding'' - What comes to mind when you see that guild name?
Im not going to lie, first thing that comes into my head when i see it ? 'Its time to raid' Kinda makes me feel pumped.. lol. 'I want to be apart of it'. Was the second.
There are other guilds on the server, why did you apply to us?
I applied to you guys because ive seen you around before, ive heard good stories about you tbh, your helpful, you guys CAN have a laugh while gaming ect, also the recruitment trade chat i found was over average it was a proper recruitment call, fair enough it was for an ele sham but it also had the equality in it for others too apply too.
Who do you know in Dead Men Raiding? How do you know them?
Stories, recommendations - Trade chat :P
Have you read our 'what we look for' and 'philosophy' posts? What do you think of them?
Yes I have, they are extremely detailed which is good, it tells people what is to be expected it tells them(players) from the beginning who you are, what you guys do and why. It states how you also come about things, it doesnt cut corners to try and recruit people left right and centre. - Its honest.
Annoying questions
A guildie says something you find offensive, what do you do?
As i said earlier, i dont get tempered especially in wow. I would ignore him if its offensive deliberately, if it wasnt i would state to him in whisper it was offensive it it was accidental. If it was through the GC i would ask him to whisper it and the reason why they thought it and if it carried on i would report it to an officer or the GM his/herself.
Cake or Pie?
Pie <3
Cool app :-)
Thanks Buddy :)
Goodluck with the APP Ben :)
Cheers pal, appreciate it ^^
hey, thanks for the application, please give us some time to discuss it.
Ill be honest and say what I think and thats that your current Ilvl is to low to jump in a raidteam straight away, since both are busy with progress.
Dreaman
Forgot to end it with this in my app pal, i understand that, what i was hoping you guys would decide would be to let me social it until i proove im good enough (if theres a spot at that time of course) and to move up the ranks with you guys, by then i hope ill know everyone, and i can be given advice on what route to take with gear ect or it would be better to go dps, things like that, thanks for the consideration btw. - Ben
True, but it takes but a few days to reach silly ilevels these days, so with lucj whilst the app is being discussed we can see an improvement in the ilevel.
(Y) Cheers.
Of course, i dont mean this to be rude, but im also looking to try put forward my lock, his ilevel is stronger and is also linked with armour in the app. And its still going up by the hour ><. Thanks again for the consideration. - Ben
Nice app.
Cheers bud.
Got my ilevel from 312-349 today, 3 more to start HoT and then hopefully itll boost even quicker.
Tbh we dont need a tank for RGw or RGT,sorry. For RGW a warlock would be usefull....are you available for a chat on TS some time 2moro?
Yeah buddy, thats unfortunate about my DK tbh...And not really working on my warlock in the long run, my dps fails on it, i cant get it past 10-14k. Not going to lie. Secondly, i dont know if i can pay my subscription for two weeks which runs out on sunday night. Being honest lol. But yeah, i guess if you like you can keep an eye out on my ilevel or something..once again thanks for the consideration..sorry i aint up to scratch..Ya'll take care, Ben.
Or if possible i will learn to be a frost dps DK instead if you need a dps..
i disagree switch, rgw needs a 3rd tank, no doubt about it. last week show how vulnerable we are if treach or myself is away, rotating is just good for us
<3 Would love it tbh but js i need to earn some cash to get my subc up again, it ran out today and my next paycheck is in two weeks but ill try get back on sooner. - Ben
