I have no motivation to raid as the gear will be replaced too quick for it to matter. I'm one of those so-called casual players though. Not to mention I don't have to stress about my skill being enough for such content.

SE made tome gear good enough for most stuff that raiding seems pointless unless you want the challenge or the vanity items to show off. In a way it's good for my life as I don't have to worry about losing progress if I don't log in all the time.
