If you wanted your epic, you joined a raiding guild. You didn't join the only guild that could raid your epic loots, you joined A raiding guild. because most of the raiders could handle it.

Yes, that's also how I remember it.
We had not only rotations but public raids.
Or semi public when a smaller guild hosted a raid and accepted people from outside.
Actually all raids I did in Fear were public.
I got my epic necro piece on CT in a public raid because .... I simply won the roll.
Nagafen, Vox, Trak, VS, Sky - I experienced these fights also on public raids.
We had a very strong Japanese guild on live but they would not try even in dream to prevent, leapfrog or disrupt public raids because they'd simply get banned.
They basically raided harder things in VP and took their turn on easier targets.
There is no significant difference in equipment between a casual 60 and a hardcore raider 60 - everybody can get correct resist gear and with a minimum of disciplin and a good raid leader, almost all content can be raided with a public 55-60 raid.
It's beyond me how some individuals here can talk about pre Velious raiding like if it was some rocket science reserved only for the happy few.
Sympathetic and friendly family guilds like Knights who say Ni or Supremacy are as able to raid most targets with a semi public 55-60 raid as any self appointed "elite" raiding guild.
Would these raids sometimes horribly fail ?
Sure like they did on live and so what ?
