Hello WintairShade.
We are still active on TI, and still recruiting. (Just hit clan level 4.)
We don't have a gear requirement, or level requirement. We just ask members to be nice, have fun, and be active as much as they can. (Especially for the clan bonus buffs on activity.)
We have no requirement as to what class you can/can't play, so if you'd like to play your SpS or SE you're more than welcome to. (We also have 2 clans we can put alts in, which have the exp passive, and get log in rewards normally.)
We are an English based language guild. Though that being said, we also have members from all over the world. Some speak English fluently, and some don't so they use translators. (Some want to learn more English.) They are also willing to teach other languages as well. (I am slowly learning Portuguese from a few of our members. I may fail at it, but we all still have fun lol.)
We do not stand for botting/exploiting/cheating/ect... So I am glad you're looking for a clan who doesn't accept that type of playing. For us as a community, we do not mind playing catch up to those who do such, because it makes beating them in the end much more satisfying in any game we play.
Everything you stated about formerly working for NCSoft/NCWest is something I personally find neat. I look forward to meeting you in game/voice comms. Also, Tenacious has a website/forums, and we use Mumble for VOIP, along with discord for text chats. We do not have a VOIP discord due to the limitations discord has currently. We have lagged discord out, and everything while testing to see if it could hold enough members, on at the same time for community events that Tenacious hosts. (We as a community have real life meet ups, and also gamer nights, as well as events to raise money for charitable causes.)
You're more than welcome to PM me in game (Or any officer.) if you have any questions about the clan/community. (You can also post here, or on Tenacious forums.)
