Oh, my God. The guild level bonuses must be amazing, because I keep getting spammed non-stop from people inviting me to play in their guild, even though they have no idea who I am. As far as they know, I could be a noob 10-year old playing for the first time.

They don't get too much experience from questing lowbies, but there is a guild perk that whenever you pickup gold it generates an additional 5% and dumps that in the guild bank. A later perk ups that to 10%. They could be after that.

Also if you run a 5-man with at least 3 guild members, the guild bank gets 250 gold on completion (for a maximum of 7 runs per week).

10 person raids at normal difficulty are challenging enough to engage the general playerbase. People who were doing Naxx-40 will likely not have too much issues with the relatively low gear checks and coordination required in normal mode and will complete normal and move on to the heroic versions within a few weeks of a new instance being released. These are more in line with the AQ40 to Sunwell raids back in the day.

Rosters are a big challenge in 10 man raiding at high progression levels. Getting the raid buffs requires diversity, but certain mechanics favor certain classes or specs for fights. Also, some fights are best done 2T / 3H and others 1T / 2H... this leads to needing more than 10 people and doing some swapping of people around for different fights.

25 mans are often less extreme in this regard, but of course you still see some class stacking in people pushing for first kills in the top 100. In general, it's a lot better than the pretty retarded amount of class stacking that was happening in TBC, though.
