I'm not convinced it's about loot. People who don't do this think, wow, they get all the loot.
I am not sure what the people who actually do this, and who get the loot, are thinking. I am not sure they know. Also, down time on base you gotta fill those hours somehow. A merchant marine used to be a constant, until his ship would enter into the ocean. Which meant he would suddenly blip out, 5 days later, "Hey guys, can you get my corpse? I'm back in port."
It can be fun, you just have to have some skillset for managing some very stressed out events. Everyone is different.
Most guilds do take "stress breaks." That's another post.
