Hi Claudio,
I love your application, and your answers!
Hmmm....can I think of anything to ask you????
OK....if the guild has arranged a board game night, a raid, mythic plus runs and a transmog run in an old dungeon, and you only had time to do one....which one would you choose to do and why?
In your previous raiding experience, what is the best way to deal with a "wipe night"?
Our guild tries to allow raiding for all palyers no matter their skill level. It means we are slower in progressing, but we keep the community feels as everyone gets to take part and experience raids. If you noticed one particular raider was really holding the guild progression back, causing numerous wipes and generally being under-prepared for raids in general, how do you think we should handle that?
Some tough questions for you (sorry about that!).
Best of luck with your application!

Good morning Carrie!
Your first question is too hard, I surrender!!! I would go for the raid, I love guild raids and is the most hard activity to set up for the number of players involved (same way, I don't want to let down all the raiding team).
I would postpone the transmog run if it's possible and about the board game night, if we have more guild member from UK like Manuel I would propose a real life board game weekend! (maybe bringing laptop for a real life old achievs run also?! 
)
About "wipe night"... In Vanilla it was an achieve for us to kill a boss! I never remember "wipe night" feelings during raids. It took us weeks (months?) to kill Onyxia the first time. I just remember the huge sensation of victory for killing her, can't remember bad feelings for the hundreds of wipes!
During TBC and WotLK I had the luck to being a member of a mature and easy going guild (main tank: female warrior gnome called Chocochips with pink pony tails!).
The guild chat was always active, people chatting while fishing and logging in just to say hello. A lot of heroic runs. Being all "friends" get us the chance to never going mad during raids I suppose (also here, how many wipes in Gruul's Lair!). Strange thing: we never used voice chat, everything was done in WoW chats!
Now days I would say that you I would raid for fun and achievements, I don't mind so much about loots. To be honest, who cares if we wipe or not sometime. I just want to finish the expansion being able to do my best with a bunch of nice and funny people! For easy kills and purple loot you have LFR tool.
About let casuals to raid... Well I'm a casual now days so you are doing good!
I think the best thing is just speak, explain tactics, remember to read guides (also providing links), just in case bring extra flasks and food.
In Vanilla we used to have a private channel for every class if the guild (5 mins blessing needed a lot of macro spam to remember 6 pallies to bless 40 people each 5 mins!).
I was used to use the channel to give positive feedback about Recount stats for healing. We used improvement feedback mainly in whispers.
Paladin class leader was a Spanish guy called Redemptor. He used to spend some time with me in Winterspring, he was going for elite mobs and I was going to heal him, to improve my skills.
I think that friendly attitude and active training are the best things to do 
Going to work, will read other posts this evening!
