Good stuff there Sita. A guild is a community of a certain type of player. The hard part is deciding what type of community that is. Not everyone wants to raid. Some do. Trying to recruit raiders to fill out the ranks to get to 25 man content and you may end up with some jerks. If you want to raid do you alienate long time guild members? If you recruit the wrong type of raider, will you alienate everyone? If you don't raid, will you lose some people?
The leadership of the guild needs to decide what the guild is, and allow those to move on who don't want that. Its a hard decision, but a guild can't be all things to all people.
You can be a friendly community guild that raids without being a "hardcore" raiding guild. Just don't expect to be server first on Naxx. I'm not.
