Casual guilds like kittens/castle/whatever sometimes spend more time just assembling at the zone in and discussing what to kill than Vanqriot spend on an entire log in, coth, pull, kill, port out.
That's how modern WoW had gotten before I quit raiding. People always assumed that because I played WoW and was a successful raider that I must be playing 12+ hours a day. In actuality my guild usually cleared all content in 3 hours, and then spent the rest of the week with nothing to do. I was actually upset with this, it felt like you could only play WoW at the most... 5 hours a week because Arena teams were also static back then, so once you did your weekly cap (1-2 hours tops), you were further incentivized to stop playing to secure your rating.

I don't feel this is the case with EverQuest though. Someone who is comfortably in a raid position may feel this way, but a newer player looking to join up is probably looking at a lot of no lifering to get that point, no?
