Longer term members of a guild can put in enough time being peons for raids time and again that after a certain threshold, they don't even have to show up for loot. The noobs of the guild will funnel it to them. With a pyramid scheme like this going on, the guild should rebrand to Mary Kay.

This is exactly what I seen with my eyes firsthand in a "casual" raid guild and that is exactly what made me quit it and to never set foot in another raid guild.
That being said, another option is joining a guild that actually does pure /ran rolls for anyone that attends the raid who can use the loot. I believe some guilds do this on p99? Had you been in one of these guilds, being the only bard there you would automatically have gotten the scale if I understand their rule sets correctly.
There are a few different options regarding how guilds hand loot out from raids. As mentioned above, don't assume things run fairly in a guild regarding loots just because you read how much people love the guild and how it's "casual" and the second coming of Christ regarding guilds on P99. You will be sorely disappointed if you expect fair loot distribution in many of the p99 guilds.
Over time I went from pushing toons to 50+ joining guilds and wanting to "advance" my characters with better loots via a guild and raiding to understanding that to do this you have to play a certain way and fit into a certain style of play often losing your autonomy in the process.
I readjusted my thinking, stopped joining guilds, and I just do what part of p99 I like, and that is leveling up solo or in groups and not worrying about top tier pixels and the drama you have to deal with in a guild. For some, it's fun. For some they are willing to deal with dramas and guild bullshit for dragon pixels. For others, it's simply not worth it and for those people we don't join raid guilds.
TL;DR
The game is great! However, what you find is even on p99 especially the higher you go the people turn out to be just as shitty as they are on other games, especially as you start seeing high worth items dropping on raids. You really see the greediness.
Some guilds do /ran rolls on equippable loots for those who attend raids. Look into joining one of these guilds.
Do not join a loot council neckbeard shithole guild OR a shithole pyramid scheme loot guild which uses it's new members as slaves to funnel all the loots to their longtime neckbeards that are more interested in gearing their 6th alt than to help new guild members who are trying to gear their main that just joined the guild recently.
