Conviction community history
Indecent created the community roughly four years ago starting with LoTRO. They have proceeded to enjoy successful ventures in other games such as EQ2, Warhammer, WoW, and League of Legends.
Currently the community is focusing on three major efforts: FFXIV, Rift, and LoL. There are also side projects for FFXI, EQ2, and Minecraft.
Conviction strives for high-quality play and pushes for world/server firsts in all games when applicable. It is an adult guild so it may not be the place for the easily offended. This leads to a group of dedicated players with a great sense of humor to pass the time.
Conviction FFXIV history
Conviction has been going strong since beta. When HNMs were released, we were the first to kill Uraeus on Trabia. Conviction was also the first NA linkshell to kill all HNMs on this server. We enjoyed farming HNMs with zero competition for weeks. At our peak, we fielded two parties of 15 players each to concurrently farm HNMs.
Conviction FFXIV today
Despite not having any new content for over 7 months, we are still pushing HNMs, crafting HQ gear, and playing the game to its limits.
Recruitment
www.congaming.com/recruitment
We do not believe in 'recruitment en masse' to build a stable group. We would rather have the right people in the linkshell. New applications will be reviewed and discussed - if the preliminary discussions go well we can extend a 30-day recruitment period.
At this time we are only accepting applications from players with at least one rank 50 battle class as well as a focus in either crafting or gathering.
Ventrilo
It will be required to at least listen on vent during certain content. It's not necessary to speak up but it helps getting to know people, build friendships, and pass the time during things like leves.
Event Times
The majority of the linkshell's members are in North America. As such, most events are scheduled for either 7PM or 9:30PM EST.
Loot Policy
Gear is distributed by council decision, rewarding participation and contribution. We do not use a DKP system but at the same time we don't easily forget things.
There is no expectation for players to give up materials to help someone pushing a craft, or create items for guildies for free. However, these actions are appreciated and do not go unnoticed. We have many players casually ranking a craft and it helps push the linkshell when you contribute mats you don't need.
