Wow, I wish there were more guilds like this elsewhere! I used to raid heroic/hard modes in Wrath (especially Ulduar, ToC, and ICC), but I was in a 25 man guild that raided a lot. It was fine at the time, but now I'm working on a Masters degree, I'm married, and my husband and I train for marathons, so I just don't have time for that anymore. So, I'm currently in a casual raiding guild that raids two nights a week for 3-4 hours. But we are casual, so we don't do a lot of heroic modes. That's okay, but I do miss the challenge of the more difficult fights. I also put up with a lot of the "adult humour" (which really isn't that humorous) simply because I haven't been able to find a guild without it!
I guess I'll have to go digging around in the guild recruitment forums and see if there are more guilds like this one out there - hopefully ones that need a shadow or disc priest!

Same situation I was in. There are definitely guilds out there that you'd be a good fit for. It's a game--don't settle for stuff that isnt enjoyable. You can also just post a thread with what you're looking for and a lot of guilds will respond.

Oatz, I think maybe you don't understand how rarely good the situation you have is. Now I'm not saying you take it for granted - far from it, you stated it took a year's worth of work to get it there. But while a lot of guilds might respond to a post like Caylynn's, is it going to be any better than her current guild?
I actually remember the post Oatz referred to about the "casually hardcore" guild that down heroic lich king. I did a little digging around about that guild, and found that they are not quite the totally adult guild that one would think they are.
Caylynn seems like she might be a fit for your guild, but not for many others, if she is looking to not have to put up with foul language and fart jokes. I've heard and seen a lot of guilds make this claim, but once you get in there, it's all drunken sailor, all the time.
There was one guild I was in where there was a relative level of normalcy and a minimum of gay-bashing and foul language; I absolutely loved that guild and the people in it, unfortunately when cataclysm rolled around it was a situation where I had to move on from them, but that was by far the best guild I was ever in, despite not being as progressed with raiding as I would have liked.
You said this above in response to legs:
"Yeah, don't undervalue the friendliness part. No guild is worth it if the guild is full of pricks or elitists."
I put a thumbs up on that because it's really true. If there is a guild that can match both the friendliness and the high-level progression skill, that's the golden standard right there - and there aren't a lot of guilds out there that are that high-quality.
