Not a ding, people just hadn't really developed the raiding paradigm. We were killing dragons with crap gear in the upper 40s.
Since I didn't start playing until Velious (and didn't start raiding until Luclin) I can't really speak to before then, so that's entirely possible. What I do know is by the time I understood raiding, Club Fu most definitely was serious about it, and I say this having been in the same room with many of them when they raided.

However, I 100% agree that people on Bristlebane weren't all assholes to each other. For instance there was a Club Fu Warrior named Meriadoc (I think he was an officer?) who would not only occasionally help AO, but also smaller guilds like Southern Lights, not to mention complete strangers. And he did it constantly.

Now, try imagining (say) a member of Aftermath both fighting with and giving tactical advice to Tempest (or Tempest even letting an Aftermath member join them on a raid) for even a single raid mob, let alone a whole bunch of them.
