I don't even know what a raid is yet. This thread has revealed to me how I've barely managed to scratch the surface of WoW. All I can say, is that I'll rarely play more than 2 or 3 hours at a time. I don't even care about having the best items in the game. I just want to have fun exploring the world and killing monsters. I know WoW isn't the optimal game for me, but I'm giving it a try. I think I'd like a more sandbox type of game. I just know little about the MMORPGs out there. WoW was the easy choice in terms of popularity and knowing people who are already playing.
You don't need to take advantage of all aspects of the game to enjoy it. At least, I don't. I'm sure I'll get bored with it eventually, but I'm giving it a 6-month run.
