Is the raid scene really that bad?

So, I only just started a few weeks ago, but from what I hear TMO pretty much kills everything every time it's up. If you want your epics, you pay TMO for the pieces from the raid mobs that they kill.

Is that really how it is? If you aren't in TMO, is it really that rare to be able to kill any of the raid mobs or are people over exaggerating?

I don't have any problem with competition, I enjoyed raiding in EQ all the way up to Planes of Power and was part of top guilds on the server I played on. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but I thought even then we set up rotations so it wasn't just one guild getting to do everything?

I'm enjoying my time playing again so far, but it seems like it would be pretty dull if at the end of it all it was just TMO farming all the raid mobs and nobody else getting to do much of anything.

Doing what we do best! Up and coming guilds have attempted to destroy what big daddy zeelot has created. I'm not telling you that other guilds have not managed to snag mobs here and there. I think FE got Trak like a month ago, and on repop days guilds like Taken, Divinity, BDA, have stepped up and have claimed raid mobs for them selfs. There are other guilds out there that raid Plane of fear, Plane of hate, Sky. But right now and the foresable future TMO is top dog....... Oo yah and IB , Winter is coming blah blah blah.
