Hey Chesster.
Great haiku, I'm a bit jealous of your retirement.
Anyhow, friends of guildies are always welcome. Just check out our code of conduct (pinned in this forum).
You mentioned being interested in raiding. I assume you would be wanting to raid with Skiz. So hit up Tandarin (who is the raid leader for his team) and you guys can discuss further if you're a good match for the team.
Although it should be noted that raiding is not a requirement to be in the guild either. So you're welcome to join either way.
