Casual guilds want a chance at the content now that it's been a decade; can't the hardcore people just let them have it so long as they don't lose out on loot for it? How could a token system possibly be a bad thing?

The 'hardcore' mindset isn't merely interested in getting pixels; it's interested in preventing anyone else from having those same pixels. Folks of that mindset will resist any change that will result in people who aren't them getting said pixels. If it were up to me I'd ignore those folks and implement a system that spread things around (take your pick, any of a number of proposals could work), but it ain't up to me. Good for me that I have no particular interest in raiding on P1999.
Instancing would of course fix most of the problems associated with raiding here (save for the folks who measure their success in terms of what other folks don't have). Threads such as this one continually illustrate why newer games tend to use liberal amounts of instancing. EQ's an old game and it has its flaws.
