Become a Wind Trader

The Wind Traders are a proud and exclusive group of individuals keen on sharing ideas. Due to the sensitive nature of the information contained within the private forum, membership is limited to 1 per server. As always, exceptional applications will be consideration regardless of spot vacancy on said server. See the member list.

In the grand scheme of things, we look for 3 qualities within a Wind Trader (in order of importance):

• Personable: enjoyable and friendly personalities are a big plus.
• Knowledgeable: your knowledge of WoW economics must be above-par .
• Active: you must maintain some sort of activity on the forums and make regular contributions. We don't expect anything outrageous, but make sure to check in every few days.

Think you would fit in? Read on!

Guidelines, Tips & Requirements:

1. Be comprehensive. We've received amazing applications in the past - the bar is set high. Take your time, and put together something worth reading!
2. Be specific. What have you recently flipped? What is on your snatch list? How do you make use of your professions? These are just a few questions that your application should answer. We understand the basic concepts of making gold - we'd like to hear about your specific methods.
3. Make good use of the English language. Use proper formatting and show some sense of humor!
4. The Consortium is strongly opposed to hacking, botting, and scamming. Applicants are advised to avoid such topics.
5. We take kindly to users that show early promise. Being active in the forums, even without Wind Trader status, is a huge plus. If you have not been active since registering, your application will most likely be rejected.

As of September 22/11, it is a requirement for applicants to have at least 30 quality posts OR 5 rep on the forums before applying.

The Application Process:

The entire application process will take approximately 2-3 weeks. During this time, the current Wind Traders and Staff members will review your application. We take into account things such as your forum posts, any discussions you have started, any contributions made, your general attitude, etc.

Some of us will use the application thread which applicants creates to ask follow up questions. We do so to try get more insight about the applicant, or to see how they respond to scenarios that we create. We make the process more personal so we can get to know each other. If you apply, it's in your best interest to check that thread preferably on a daily basis to answer any questions we might have and improve your chances of being accepted.

In the event that we stop asking questions in your application thread, does not mean we are not discussing things privately. Please don't feel alarmed or too anxious, and you are welcome to keep adding any extra information you might have or notifying us of any new threads that you create - however it is not a necessity.

Remember, within the applications forum, you can only see your own thread and discussions!
