What kept me playing

Because in any MMO, really the main way you see progression is either via levels or gear. And for gear, if I choose not to raid, then I can still progress it, but it will involve spending exorbitant amounts of plat for the best possible tradeable pieces for those slots. Or I guess attempting to camp those pieces myself, which I hate the idea of even more than farming plat. At least with plat farming you are doing something dynamic and can change your location on a whim when you get sick of a particular place. Camping high-ticket items you are literally just staring at a wall for hours-days on end

So I'm left with two options to progress my only character: 1.) Beat your head against the wall of raiding or 2.) Beat your head against the wall of plat-farming

I chose to attempt option 1 while also doing option 2 as a backup. Alternating between both has thus far kept me from burning out. The more attention I focus on either, the quicker I burn out

I think his point was more why don’t you join an Uber guild if you want to raid but are sick of missing out on targets
