I raided on this server for several years. I am assuming you play on Blue, that being the case most raid targets go to AzureGuard/Freedom and Riot. All 3 guilds have retarded raid attendance requirements and have raiders with gigatons of DKP to always get the best items. If you play a Knight class or a Ranger you can get really good gear for super cheap, but it still requires a lot of time.

This simply is not true with the exception of those BIG BiS drops (basically vulak items, some doze tears, the juicy weapons, etc).
Riot's recruitment / application process certainly looks at attendance...but there is no hard line RA% requirement. Its more about the quality of your play and what you can contribute when you can make the raids / track / other logistics around your schedule.
I'm a pretty good example of a casual player that has received some fantastic items over my time spent raiding.
- FT7 enchanter with some other high hp / AC drops and useful little toys that has turned Toxigen into a pretty beastmode char.
- Monk alt with tons of goodies...don't even remember half the stuff I got for him its been a while.
- 56 warrior with ToV 1 handers, a dain axe, statue BP, AoW helm, KT gloves + boots, etc
- Scooping up some budget drops for rogue / shaman / druid / necro alts in their 50s that I'm still leveling super casually.
My attendance for reference:

Sure, I'm probably never going to get Toxigen a Vulak robe. My available time to put into raiding simply won't allow it...nor do I want to save for years. For me, its fun to scoop up a bunch of
really good items that just happen to not be BiS. As a casual you have to just be happy with what you can get...I know I am.
To each their own, but for OP's sake I was just trying to explain that you can do the raid scene without doing insane things. This is nothing against the folks that do a lot of the heavy lifting with tracking / logistics / etc...they're the ones that shall be rewarded with BiS chars and they deserve it.
Just remember its important for anyone, no matter how casual, to be a team player when you are available. I happily hop on cleric bots when we've got enough enchanters. Its what I can do to help out the most.
