That depends on how many people in the guild are more casual players. If it's only a few then you are probably right. However, what we know about human nature says that random reinforcement is more effective at getting people to invest more time and effort, so if you have a high enough percentage of more casual players then you are more likely to get higher participation in events if more casual players have at least a non-zero chance of getting something great.

And thereafter you have an ever-changing cast of quasi-motivated randoms who have no real interest in learning/improving strategy & tactics and who also have no real commitment to making the guild better. Meanwhile the players who did want to do something requiring more personal investment than queuing up for a dungeon run with other randoms have all left for guilds that reward players who put effort into to making the guild better. Congratulations, you get to /ran armor drops in the planes once in a while when you happen to find them unoccupied and your guild never kills any dragon/god again because the motivated guilds have cleared all targets before you got around to bringing a force to engage.
BTW, and despite the mildly negative tone of my comment, I knew of guilds on live that were happy to play that way. So if it works for you go for it.
