It worked out fine for me, they all understood that i wanted to raid and let me do it. Just tell them about it so they don't make assumptions. And you'll probably be invited if it doesn't work out with a raid/pvp guild for you. If you have an alt, you could join the guild with that one and not lose so much contact.

The only way I say switching guilds is mean is if the guild did a lot for you and you haven't payed them back yet. For example.
Let's say it is your first guild, they ran you through Kara till you got all the upgrades you could use from there and the guild doesn't progress further. They ask you to go on raids to help gear up other people and you leave the guild because lack of progression. This is a jerk move.
If the guild has not done this for you then go ahead and go to a guild that suits your needs.

I had similar experience with my first 2 guilds...with every guild actually. I just progress faster than them. I like them, they are really cool guys and girls, we've been through a whole bunch of crap together, but at some point they just fall behind.
The first guild I was in, and stayed in it until 70 was Remnants of Legend. Cool, but they were barely organizing themselves for Kara. So one night I was PuG'd for Kara by an old WoW friend of mine - we were practically leveling together since 10. So I joined his guild's raid, all was smooth, got 2 items, and joined his guild the next day. Of course, talked to my old friends and guildmaster in RoL, and they were fine with it - I still join their raids and heroics when I can, and when I am needed.
After a while in Dominus Mortis, as my new guild was called, I had to leave again - to join a little better guild, but full of old friends. Plus, DM had stopped raiding due to lack of new people. So again, I talked to the guildmaster and the buddies, they understood my needs, and the fact that it's normal to go play with the friends. And so I left again. But I still help both RoL and DM with raids and such when they need me.
Guilds are about friends and co-work, not about...ties and chains. I could've been guildless and still go raid with those 3 guilds.
So after this long story, the bottom line is - go wherever you feel most comfortable in. Keep your old friends, the fact that you've left their guild doesn't mean they are your enemies or rivals. If it bothers you, think of it like you are changing the school class you are in, or the very school.

it is only a jerk move if they are trying to move forward, and need your help and they have helped you in the past. if their aims are just not your aims sometimes it is best to move on.
example: i was in a cool guild with friendly people, but they become more inactive and never planned to raid, so i had to move on, they were cool about it, but sad.
i agree with putting an alt in your old guild if you really like them, that is probably the best course of action here.

I can feel for you.I am the only 70 in our guild and I have been the leader ever since the founder bailed.I bought all three tabs and have helped the members to level but no 60'sor70's want to join so I can't do the 70 things I need to do with my guild.I made the next person in the chain the new leader,So that when I can I will be able to leave.I feel bad but I am the one who has spent all the time(and cash)for the guild.They just can't help me

Leaving a guild on good terms is often a great way to network and meet new people. It can easily benefit
both
guilds.
My old guild was mostly people in their 60s pushing to 70; the few 70s in the guild left for the chance to raid. Then, once the guild had enough to finally do heroics and to start Kara, we had buddies in progressed guilds who could come back, fill in raid spots, and generally help us out. Some of the 70s that left even came back to the guild!

If they have a forum then make a post on there detailing why your leaving and why. If you owe any money then pay it back. Also, if they've helped you level etc, tell them if they need any help (and your willing to of course) just to whisper you in game.
If they're jerks with you after doing this then they don't deserve you tbh
