One solution to the problem is, of course, story mode. At least you get to see the content.

My own opinion: Folks who are into raiding in an MMO need to recruit actively from those who have not yet completed the requirements seen in many Party Finder announcements. If one does not actively encourage folks to raid by providing them a chance to do so with someone who has experience, there is no way in heck I can seriously support the call "we need more raids".

(Yeah, I know. I've only done Turn 1 on the First Coil as my only 'raid' so far in game. I'm not personally interested in raiding myself, but if I see an active community being supportive of new raiders I am all for more of the same. If it becomes a clique, meh.)
