5. None of the above, please explain:

2/5, Hang out with my buddy and kill some stuff, I have done the Mythic progression thing and find it fun but at the end of the day I dont have the time for 4-5 days a week of raid anymore.

Please link your armory profile:
Old toon (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/m ... Zxq/simple) 6/7 Mythic HM and 2/10 mythic BRF when that was in the top 1000 world.

Int and mastery or haste food if i have 2/4 set.

Haste is best with 2/4 set so i am starting to stack that now(2 set has has a haste point where mastery is better again), without it mastery is better but i feel like 2/4 set should happen as some point soon.

Are there any ways that we can improve the application process?
I would ask for a photo of peoples UI. Tons of info from that IMO.

I've know James for several years and raided with him in various guilds over that time period. As his ret pally parses show he's one of the highest skilled wow players I've ever met. I know his Mage is a bit green but given a bit of gear Im sure he'll become a big asset to forged alliance.

thanks for the suggestion, this is a good point and something we probably should have added a long time ago.

anywho, track someone down online and we can get you an invite.
