No one is forced to do anything. We are welcome to present and returning players or anyone interested in the game of Everquest, who do have an interest in raid content.
It is for sure a significant aspect to our guild culture, as it's what most of us find entertaining and fun about this version of the game and Project 1999.
If you wanted to focus on leveling up your own character until they were able to meaningfully contribute (varies for classes, but in this instant, a cleric over 52 or 55 and a druid at level 60), that is totally normal and several new members are all doing this and leveling together. When raiding, it is important to try and bring something that will help us win and succeed, and occasionally that might mean playing something suited for the fight - or swapping to help port a guild mate - or logging on a buff class to help a friend.
Luckily, you seem to be playing a cleric, which are needed at nearly all raids. Another way to look at the idea of 'bots' - in whatever guild choice you make - is that engages happen quickly, and to run your cleric from Karnor's Castle to Icewell Keep for an engage just isn't a realistic thing due to the competitive nature of the game. So you should look at bot programs for all the guilds as the best solution and tool to be able to participate until you have more of your own toons.
