I think with 6 weeks until the expansion it's a rather interesting time. The only way you're going to be able to "have your cake and eat it too" is to be completely open an honest with your guild members. If you guys are really that good of friends, it shouldn't matter all that much.

Up until recently, my guild had most of Kara on farm for two groups, and was working through ZA. With declining interest, we've dropped back to a simple "run what you want when you want" type of organization. Yes, for those who are over geared it sucks (me included in that), but it helps some of the lower geared players and it lets us play with people we normally didn't get to play with.

All that being said, we had a few members, including an officer, switch their mains to another guild to see some more advanced content. Their alts are still with us, we still run things with them on a regular basis (being brewfest and 5-mans right now). When the expansion hits, they're planning on coming back to us, no hard feelings.
