It's one of those things that as we get on in life, the concept of raiding becomes a less accessible and attractive option. While there are a great many FC's that are immensely helpful and welcoming in this area of the game, I don't really have the time to dedicate to hardcore content that I did when I was in HS . Most MMO's provide alternate routes to gearing up with comparable gear, and incentivize raiding in other ways in addition to gear. Hopefully they take alternative approaches into consideration at some point.
