That's all fair, and I can respect all that. It's quite different from the perspective that a lot of AM members flaunt of "AM is the be-all and end-all, and if you're not dominating the server, you're shit." Particularly when they're tagging along with a raid that's done the same target dozens or hundreds of times already, but still acting like they were the ones that invented the strategy and put in the work for it. Sounds like a nice community, not unlike the dozens of others, but in terms of the EQ gameplay, it seems a bit dull for my tastes.

Sounds a bit dull?
You say Aftermath sets the bar low. Is that a bad thing? It's a time locked server, on an mmorpg that requires pressing two keystrokes to top a DPS meter. We can teach anyone who is green to raid at a top level. It's not rocket appliances. We had a mage who has played EverQuest for literally 1 month total in a critical position to pull vulak two weeks ago.
On the flipside of that, we also harbor the most skilled, helpful players on the server. That mage was in the right position and knew what to do because he had received tremendous amount of help from the other mages in our guild learning the roles. You think we're not constantly evolving strats for raid targets? Check out Rogean's post from last week. Why do you think he had to post that?
I come from a smaller guild. I loved the people in that guild. FoH. But what was dull was sitting around for 1-2 hours, wiping 3-5 times, and not getting any drops. In AM, a mob pops, I log in, 10 minutes later i log out. The competition (when not banned) is a lot of fun, and adrenaline pumping at times.
And sure, we have elitist douchers in AM. But there are plenty of elitist douchers NOT in AM as well. I.E, you.
