What are the 10-man 'strict' rankings?
The 10-man strict rankings show the achievements of pure 10-man raiding guilds. A 'pure' 10-man raiding guild is one that does not participate in 25m progression content. We recognize that 25-man guilds or guilds that regularly participate in 25m pug runs often have a distinct advantage since they can gear up at accelerated rates and move faster through 10-man content. Consequently, our 10-man strict rankings exclude guilds which access any 25-man content that offers higher ilvl gear than what the current 10-man normal content provides. If you are a 10m guild that has members which want to run 25 man pugs then the 'strict' classification is not for you.
What is the 10-man 'strict' criteria?
Guilds will be excluded when they earn any Icecrown Citadel (ICC) 25 normal kills or any TotGC 25 hard-mode kills. Guilds must also have their 10M Progress World Rank be better than (lower than) their 25M Progress World Rank.
We have added a special trigger for the ICC 25 normal kills that will exclude a guild from strict rankings when 8 players achieve it over time. For example, if your guild pugs ICC 25 normal then you will be excluded from the strict rankings when a total of 8 players in your guild participate in the Lord Marrowgar 25 normal kill. Please ensure you discourage your guild members from participating in any ICC 25 normal and TotGC 25 hard-mode runs if you wish to remain on the strict rankings. Also be sure minimize the recruitment of players that have previously achieved these kills since they will contribute to the guild total, regardless of when they achieved it. VoA 25 and Onyxia 25 are exempt from the criteria and can be run without risking your 10m strict rankings.
Special tip: If you wish to remain on the 10-man strict list over the long term then be sure to have your guild stay within the criteria - we are unable to remove earned achievements once they are in the GuildOx database. Also note that the criteria will change as new content is released. The best approach to future-proof your strict ranking is to advise your guild members not to run any 25-man content that features higher iLevel gear when compared to the current 10-man normal content. We reserve the right to tighten the criteria at any time if we judge that guilds are 'gaming' the strict rankings.
Strict Legion is currently made up of a few alts from First Legion, but we are looking to recruit a few more people that will actually be interested in staying within the boundaries of the 10 Man Strict criteria. The purpose behind this is doing 10 mans on the level they are meant to be done on and not making them a simple walk in the park by using 25 man Raiding Gear.
We are currently looking for Tanks, DPS, and Heals. We will be keeping the roster fairly small; only around 20 people.
We will be using EPGP for our loot system when we do begin attacking ICC and ToGC. We will also push Ulduar 10 a bit to get people Reins of the Rusted Proto-Drake (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45802).
Raid nights will be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Time has yet to be decided.
You CANNOT have ToGC 25 or ICC 25 kills on your character.
You can use Badge, Bind on Equip, and Crafted gear that has the same ilevel as the 25 man Raids. Just like you can use the 245 ilevel Tier 9 and the 264 ilevel Tier 10 pieces; since you can receive both from 10 Man Hard Modes.
If you are Alliance and this interests you get a hold of me on Heidenreich or Azzeron, Akuje on Ninerva or Xinjiang OR you can get a hold of Lisbet on any of her various alts.
If you are Horde and this interests you, I advise power leveling an Alliance toon with Bind on Account gear OR Faction Transfer a character you have interest in doing this with.
If you are interested and will be using a "fresh" or "under geared" 80, we will happily help you gear up and run instances with you on our Strict Legion or Main Characters for the gear and badges.
Also feel free to PM me here or on the First Legion site if you have any questions or comments.
*I'll update this post a bit more when I log in to game and look at my actual roster to see what Classes and Specs we really need.
