Now before anyone starts gunning me down i will say that i used to have same mentality when i was teen and started raiding in WoW, but after countless BiS sets i got along 4years of my WoW career i saw the light and stopped caring about loot. Now i do it to challenge myself while having a blast doing it with awesome peoples around me, and that itself is best reward raiding can give you not the shinies.
The gear is a means to an end.

What point is there in killing bosses with gear you've had for six years?

You get the gear to kill the boss that drops the better stuff so you can kill the harder boss.

or is this too hard a thought process for you?
