Honestly, I would recommend you enjoying the journey (as you probably have been doing), and when you get to 60 then try raiding. Do your research, and then join a raid guild, try it for yourself.

I personally find leveling a character to 60 more fun, and I also generally find the behavior of raid guild members typically unappealing, so structured raiding has turned out to not be my thing.

I now log in, do what I want, and I have zero pressure of having to meet raid requirements. I also have more control over who I associate with in the game. I am not forced to have to coexist with members of a raid guild which many of whom I don't share a likeness of mentality with.

To each their own though. You might like raiding here. I do not.
I appreciate all opinions, whatever side you may fall on, so thank you for your perspective. You describe pretty much how I play. Doing what I want - when I want. I'll add though that my time is usually very limited and I'm quite sure if I bailed out of raid X because of RL responsibilities - I'd lose some points or whatever they use for their scoring.

Actually, I do have 1 character close to 60 but I don't foresee myself running to the nearest raid guild when that finally happens. One of my focuses was to see if things had changed from when I first started here.

If anyone else reading this has other views, please share your side to this as this could lead to a good book one day.
