Casual raiding (is there such a thing?)

[wagorf]

I don't even know if the term "casual raiding guild" exists on blue. Raid attendance is not required, even for the top guild.

Objectively speaking, key difference between guilds is (1) ability to raid (target kill volume, time efficiency, etc) and (2) number of members.

Assume the following.

Guild A (super hardcore raiding): Calls for raid 80 times a week.
Guild B (minor raiding): Call for raid 10 times a week.

When raid attendance is not mandatory, guild A offers more chance for you to attend, along with very high chance for a successful kill.

The last thing you want, is to spend a lot of time preparing for a target, but another guild gets the kill. I can be in guild A and remain super casual by logging in once a week. But every time I play, there are opportunities to raid, and the chance of having a successful kill is high. This applies to epic completion, as you can choose only to attend the ones that drop your epic piece.
