You mention that raids are pretty repetitive...wasn't sky, sea, dynamis, etc. pretty much the same? Need X jobs for this that and the other, kite this, kill that, earn points for loot claim...it all pretty much the same scenario if you ask me...so either way, I think people would be board to tears doing XI style raids or XIV style raids...I sure as heck couldn't pull myself to dedicate years of my life to doing what many did in XI for all that rare/ex drops...no way in hell.
They were, but farming triggers was usually more of a social event than a raid. You weren't always focused on rushing through a dungeon or pure tactics. You could just chill out and talk about stuff while you tried to spawn things. Same with HNM camping. some people really like the laidback kind of thing while others just want to go straight for the action.
