	: AIE is not ''strictly'' a raiding guild. Raiding is not AIE's focus, but many of our members enjoy it and we do encourage the formation of raid groups.

What makes AIE different from a raiding guild is that guild leadership will not form any official guild raid groups and members engaged in raiding enjoy no special privileges aside from the satisfaction of standing over the cooling corpse of a downed boss.		: AIE is not ''strictly'' a raiding guild.
