Your level or equipments doesn't matter at all, as long as you're not at the endgame. Pure raiding guild usually want nothing to do with low level players, other guilds will have a variety of people to play with. Of course if your friends play more they will out level you and you won't be able to play with them, but there's plenty of low level people/alts around.

The time you get to play is only a factor if you want to raid, as most raiding guilds use a point system to determine who get loot when. Let's say every hour you raid get you one point. It's going to take you a long time to get loot, if you get 3 points a week and the average raider get 15 a week, there were lots of people that complained about that in my old guild.

But it's not so bad as it look, once they get the items on their wishlist there's going to be items no one want. For example my friend had a warlock, and on his first raid he got 2 items, because all our warlocks had all their set. We had an excess of rogue loot too.

Edit: The rest system. It stop once you have one level worth of double xp saved up, so you can't leave your character a month and have double xp for the next 5 levels, but it's nice, especially if you have multiple characters, let one rest while you level the other one.
