How to get into a raid guild

For entertainment value, here is how you get into Ad Nauseam, a raiding guild on Runetotem (Euro), Horde side. They recently recruited with the following ad:

Due to some people leaving the game entirely for getting too busy in their real lives, Ad Nauseum is now recruiting following classes:

2 Priests (no, we do not need the shadow-variety but thanks for asking)
1 Druid (Innervate is purrty, consider having it!)
1 Warlock
1 Hunter
1 Shaman (please do have atleast NS)
1 Rogue

Applicants should come well-geared (blue gear, Dire Maul items/Tier 0 set might work), they should have decent Fire Resist (atleast 100 unbuffed, preferably more and this does not mean rogues in Volcanic crap sets). Those who have taken time to farm Nature Resist pieces from Maraudon will be appreciated too.

Our raid schedule is fairly heavy and we do not take lack of attendance kindly. Hence, you should be around atleast 5 nights / week on average. Naturally RL circumstances may prevent this at times, but still high attendance is a requirement, not a bonus.

Interested? Well, the recruitement is already closed again. But they did have an example for what kind of application would have gotten you into the guild:

I'm a true WoW addict who wishes to participate in the endgame PvE content preferably several times a week. I am interested in learning how to play my class to it's full effectiveness and I wish to find new friends among your guild. Some of them I have met over time on Battlegrounds and some 5man instances, yet I can't name one over the others for reference. I have a sense of humour, yet I lack much content in my life, thus I can attend extremely often and will not spend my days whining over whatever little things people tend to whine about.
