Heroic Madness on 7 hours a week -- the shape of guilds to come?

My guild is pretty similar, though they aren't as hardcore during raid time: most of the raiders have been with the guild since BC (I joined mid-wrath), but because of that our progression isn't great. To be blunt we have a 2-3 weak players per 10 man run, but it's worth it to me since the schedule (very similar to Oatz') works so well for me and everyone is friendly and helpful.

If that wasn't the case for my guild, I would be applying today and (hopefully) preparing for a realm transfer to join you guys!

Yeah, don't undervalue the friendliness part. No guild is worth it if the guild is full of pricks or elitists.

Absolutely, I feel lucky to have found them, and the slower progression (we dinged 7/7 DS 2 weeks ago) is definitely worth the fun, friendliness, and schedule fit.

Further to only raiding twice a week, I often only raid ONCE a week (busy RL), and they are willing to rotate me in and out on the night that I'm able to be there, and it's great to have that support without feeling like there is resentment out there!

Incidentally, Blizzard's move to "on demand" play style (i.e. LFD/LFR) is perfect for me, since I can gear up to raid at my own convenience without holding back the guild. I take pride in remaining at or near the top for DPS while maintaining a viable tank OS on one night of raiding, and that would be impossible without those changes.
