-pvping for zone control and zone denial
-good players guiding weaker/new players
-controlling specific zones that are important for your guild
-teamwork and passing gear down rather than just selling/trading it
-people hoarding dkp/passing on rot upgrades because they want x prestige item.
-forum quest Public Relations. aka Smedy Spielberg productions
-funneling gear is harder for important classes that you need aka clerics, tanks, and pvp characters.
You can't expect to show up at raids and just clock in to be a body while others are doing the listed above tasks. Whoever does the above tasks will become your "core" players, and raid attendance is only a small percentage of what someone does for a guild.
Velious will change that in that specific classes like clerics, warriors, bards, skilled pullers, support characters, and pvp characters will need to be geared out faster than damage roles that will just need the best weapon and haste they can get for many fights. Guilds will also have a hard time retaining these classes as the most important raiding classes are high burnout classes and assuming multiple raiding guilds on server, the more likely they are to be poached by enemy guilds for pixel packages.
