What I've always loved about raiding is the atmosphere of it. You have a raid leader working as a General of sorts, and a group of people with whom you carry out strategic approaches to given situations. After a while, you form a bond with the other members of your guild, and eventually you learn how everyone else plays and can function as a well oiled machine; sometimes without any actual communication. You know the clerics already have a CH chain going, you know the enchanters have the adds locked down, you know the tank is keeping the target's attention and has it pointing away from the main raid group, and you know that the dps are going to burn it, push it, ect when they need to. It's a nice feeling of mutual trust and accomplishment that really makes raiding what it is (in my opinion). It isn't so much about the loot as it is the spirit of the thing itself. The loot is pretty nice, too, though.
