Where's the fun in raiding?

This.

I played another EQEmu server that had custom content, 14 tiers of raiding (100+ targets) and a maximum raid force of 18 people with fights that strategically were far beyond tank and spank.

From start to finish if not using twinks, a guild could expect up to a year's worth of weekly raids while climbing through tiers to gear everyone and be able to move on.

Life exists beyond EQ!

Of course it does. Once you hit 60, you have your epic and best gear in game then what do you do? Everything that was once difficult is a breeze now that you're in nearly BiS everything and zerging through it. I suppose I'd rather play in a guild that's more about skill and calculations than the "Let us throw 100 warm bodies at this boss mob and see if we make it!" . I just don't find the point of that, okay so you've made any sort of challenge extinct, and somebody else pointed out that it's to have fun with friends. Do you really know all 100 of those people? Are you all chatting in vent keeping a conversation going? I highly doubt it especially considering how tyrannical most raid leaders in vent are. You may as well do something challenging with the 10-20 people that you actually DO know, and have known for more than just 2-8 groups in the past. Just my take on it though, if people like bashing their heads against the wall and not testing themselves then it's a pretty moot point.
