not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

You down to be on a Batphone alert 24/7? Otherwise, quit bitching and level up. Plenty to be raided in casual guilds, and if you're willing to put the time in andget good at your class, TMO and FE always accepts talented members. Poopsock or not, their guilds are full of people who know what they're doing.
