He hit the nail on the head there.
If your under 46 in a raiding guild, you can come sit with them for naggy and vox, but thats about it. if your a wizard or a druid, you can help with mobilization, but unless your a good friend of someones, why risk it or take the hassle?
You would be extremely surprised how well you can get to know people in a raid situation of 40+. In a raiding guild, good players can watch other players and tell pretty immediately if they are good, bad, or in between. People also talk on raids, and its part of what keeps it fun. If you sit there and are shy the whole time, you won't make any friends and you will sit there raiding monotonously. You have no idea how many friends I've made on raids just saying something stupid or funny and chatting about it for awhile.

I think you missed the point of the OPs message. He wants to join the guild at a lower level so he can get to know people and group up and level with their alts etc. If they are only willing to accept you at the highest levels there isn't really much time to establish a relationship or anything. Sure he wouldn't be able to assist on Planes raids or Vox or Naggy kills but during downtime, which I am sure there is a lot of since raid targets are killed as they spawn, he would like to be able to group with their alts.
I had a somewhat similar situation happen to me. I leveled to 46ish and wanted to get to know some raid guilds. I didn't want to apply anywhere when I was lower level because I am pretty particular about guilds I join and I like to stick it out with the guild I join. I sent some tells to some guild recruiters and wanted to get in on a couple raids with them to get to know them. Some of the smaller raid guilds had no problem taking me on a raid or two to get to know me and some others said I had to apply before they would "get to know me".
I ended up getting a temp tag by one of the guilds I raided with for communication purposes and someone from another guild acted like I just betrayed him. Apparently, raiding with multiple guilds to see which is the best fit isn't how I am supposed to conduct myself. I am sorry, if your guild requires me to apply just so I can get to know you I am going to look elsewhere, at least at first.
I was going to start popping into forums to try and get in on some groups with these guilds so I could get to know people but I think at 50 there isn't much grouping going on and it would is mainly pharming or leveling alts.
I probably should have just joined a guild when I was lower level and grew with that guild. I didn't expect drama over this.
