Why does that matter?
Why is raiding the only fucking thing you guys think is important?
Hello there are 12k other people on the server enjoying things other than raiding.

Reasons why raiding is important:
1) It's the core of the endgame, i.e. what you do once you hit 60
2) It's the point of the game with the highest level of competition
3) Raiding generates loot that has the highest value of anything in the game (I mean in terms of rarity, power, etc. In b4 RMT trolls).
4) It's the hardest part of the game, requiring the best coordination of large numbers of players.
5) It takes a substantial investment on the part of the player (leveling a character, learning your shit, gearing yourself, getting in a guild, etc.)
I think a far better question is: why are you, Rogean, so surprised that the raiding guilds care primarily about raiding?
I spent a great deal of time on this server caring about things other than raiding. I leveled a character to 60. I made money. I worked my way through a grueling epic quest (16 pieces, no MQ). I made friends. I spent time helping people get their gear/epics/plat.
So what's wrong with me focusing on raiding? It's the big thing to do in this game that I never got to do on live. I've spent tons of hours and effort getting to the point where I get to participate, and now you're just going to up and change the rules?
Where were you in 2011? 2012? 2013?
I mean, sure, it's your sandbox. You can do what you want. Chances are, I'm already done. I've already lost the will to login after the Sirken ban lift/ nevermind debacle. But you should know that taking this sudden turnaround after years of silence is going to make people confused and angry. It's also very hard to get involved in these kinds of discussions without showing a bias... and, if anything, a bias on your part will be what kills the server.
