I understand your frustration. However, it's also demoralizing to get a piece of raid loot and not really feel much sense of accomplishment because it was essentially dispensed to you by a raid loot welfare system (instancing). Classic EQ is all about high highs and low lows. Might not be for everyone, but it's why I always come back to it and lose interest in every modern mmo.
And I'm not a hardcore raider. I can pull my weight in one of the mid-tier semi casual raiding guilds (those who get the scraps) but I've kind of just accepted the fact there is certain content I'll never see, and that's okay with me. It sort of preserves some of the original mystique of the game. 20 years and I've still never been to sleeper's, oh well. Maybe some day.

As someone who's always found it difficult to find inclusion in these games, I never saw instancing as an entirely bad thing. I really dislike confrontation and will typically move away from any area that has a player in it out of fear that they might say something.
Been in a couple guilds on this server, none of them were really willing to talk or help with anything.
I'd love to see more of this game, to find a good group of folks to enjoy it with. Would love to see Sleepers one day, but at the moment I struggle to see anything higher level than Unrest.
