The biggest problem with classic raiding is that there's limited content. There's really only enough for one or two dedicated raid guilds, and if more want to raid, it becomes contentious. You could say that it creates an interesting atmosphere and guild rivalries and so on, things that we all remember with varying degrees of fondness and nostalgia, and it did make the world more dynamic and meaningful. Nevertheless, it undeniably compromises the experience for anyone who isn't in one of the select few guilds that have control over the raid scene, and it is a serious issue for the rest of the playerbase as there essentially isn't any content beyond LGuk/SolB (or OS/Karnors, or Velks/Kael trash etc.)
