lots of players on this emulator attach to a guild like a leech and wind up getting all their gear through sitting semi AFK on raids for hundreds of hours. it winds up being like the same 12 people for each raid doing all the work because everyone else just got recruited to the same guild and all they have to do is show up to earn dkp
I can't disagree with this more ... and I say this as a Shaman who solo-farmed his own fungi, Torpor, and epic.

When you're not in a raid guild, raid guilds seem big and scary, and you're willing to waste A LOT of time to be "self-sufficient" and avoid them ... or at least I was. But do you know what you're going to do once you get 60/epic/Torpor? That's right: join a guild and raid.

Once you do, you realize they're not so big and scary, and you can still solo as much as you want. But you also realize that instead of wasting months grinding Drooga (or wherever) to save up enough plat for a tear, you could simply help ten guildmates with fights for their epic, and then get a tear "for free".

Depending on the guild, you can also likely get Torpor more easily than farming 100kp, and if you want to farm a fungi or JBB yourself, you're more likely to find folks to do Seb with (on a non-raid night) than you are with strangers.

Again, I was 100% solo for my first few years with Loramin ... but once I actually gave a guild a chance, I found the game was a whole lot more fun, and I felt stupid for wasting all that time solo farming (especially for my epic).
