Looks like you don't get why it's done. Some people might raid just because of the gear, but other people just enjoy it all around. I'm having a blast raiding with TMO, even when I don't get gear, even when we don't have competition, even when we wipe, etc.

I guess that makes sense. If you're enjoying the experience, then I suppose you'd be foolish if you didn't do it.
I just don't care for the trouble and arguments generated by disputes over raids and looting raid-related stuff. It seems like some players take the game far too seriously. On the flip side, I suppose I don't take it seriously enough, considering I have a total /played of almost 19 days, yet I'm only about halfway through level 40.
I spend most of my time PLing lowbies and showing new players the ropes. I do a lot of ports (as a druid), but I spend prettymuch all of the income from my ports buying gear to give to a needy new player that I randomly encounter.
But you seem to have a better grasp on the raiding stuff, and the fact that you can enjoy the experience with your guild even when it goes horribly awry speaks to your sensible approach to the game.
Like I said, some people take the game far too seriously. On Live, I lost a corpse equipped with all of the best gear I could round up because I kept dying while trying to retrieve it. It was such a frustrating experience that it made me never want to venture into any place where I could not ready retrieve my corpse if I had to. And it also made me quit playing my Mage and switch to a Druid so I could easily get around the world to help other players and what not.
That's what makes EQ so great. You and I are playing the same game, but we play it in totally different ways, and still, we both enjoy the heck out of our time playing this game.
Oh, and send me a tell if ya ever need a port/bind/buff/Blade of Xalgoz.
