Actually my goal is to occasionally raid, not to become sadder

Happyness is fleeting, one moment you’re happy and the next you’re not. In the end nothing really matters
Easy answer.
Find a guild that will be able to go with your situation. Not all guilds are hardcore. Also most raids in Vanilla don’t need a full roster to do. So having 1 person short every now and again should never be an issue.
I mean to be fair nearly every raid in vanilla/classic doesn’t require a full roster like it does in mythic retail. a guild can afford to be down 1 or 2 players.
I mean most times back in vanilla out of a 40 man group. 20 players would be dead by 90% of the bosses health and the other 20 would kill them.

Most adults have the same constraints on their time.
If you want to raid badly enough, find a raid guild that has a schedule that works for you. If you can’t commit to a schedule, maybe organized raiding isn’t for you, no matter how much you may want to do it.

Yep that’s pretty fair. Maybe once the 20 man raids come out I’ll be able to find a raiding schedule that can work for me.
Find a group of people you get along with. They will want you over a pug

My guild, we sign up for raids in advance. Many people with us have to travel for work, coach kids sports, work during raid nights, etc. There’s no issues with not being able to raid every night, just issue if fail to regularly be at raids you’ve signed up for. A lot of “casual” guilds are like that.
I say casual, but in wow terms that’s pretty much just anything not 100% balls to the wall min/max.

There are definitely casual guilds, but the raids may be more like pugs. I’ve definitely been in guilds where the person could come some of the time, but not always. Search on your server forums or on global channels for a casual raiding guild and talk to the leadership, you may find something. I would advise joining a DKP guild, because loot council wont give you loot if you can’t come so often.
I told you. It was like that before. It would be like that again in Classic.
That’s why I prefer Retail. Becoz I can raid even without a guild in Retail. I will raid when I want to raid. I only need Dungeon Finder. Dont tell me that PuGs cant do highend raids. Those in Dungeon Finder asking for high Raider io scores and saying “We kick underperformers”, those are the group that could do highend raids. Believe me when I tell you I beat Mythic Emerald Nightmare in Legion all on Dungeon Finder. BFA is just like Legion 2.
Many would tell Classic is Casual friendly. Where is that Casual friendly when you cant raid if you have casual playing time? I know Retail is Casual Friendly and it’s way way more Casual friendly than Classic.
If you have 20 full-time raiders and 40 part-time raiders, you can have a full raid of 40 players every week. But you’ll be splitting the loot amongst 60 players rather than 40, making it harder to gear up.
There are also roles in a raid where you really want players to become familiar with one another so they can more effectively function as a team. When you have a constantly rotating raid composition, this is hard.
And, frankly, if someone is ‘too busy’ to be raiding once/week, they’re probably too busy to be in a raiding guild. A 3-4 hour commitment at the same time every week is not really all that onerous even for people with family and professional commitments.
1.Find a guild that works with your schedule.
2.Divorce.
3.make the time consistantly. It’s not hard to schedule 3 hours a week right now. Later on it might be an issue but speaking from a former officers POV i’d rather people skip farm night than progression night.
Nah. It’s like work. Show up when you want to. It’s easy to plan around 40 people.
So raiding is not your priority but you still want to benefit from raiding when there are people who make raiding a priority? Is that close?
I just make friends with people in guilds, help them when they are doing solo stuff like quests etc, and sometimes if they find themselves running a person short in a raid, maybe i can fill in, if my toon is capable.
Other than that, to me it is not fair to the guild if i join but can not be there half the time, and most guilds understand that reason for declining to join and even thank me for being honest about that up front, cause they get people that do join and use up stuff from the guild but then can never be there when the guild needs them.
Except this is only a now thing. In a few years no one is going to give a **** because they will be running their 4th alt through mc and onyxia, and there 2 main toons are naxxed out.
People are tripping way too hard, and it’s understandable since it’s early but again, there is no new content being added to classic, so in a few years all classes will be raided, boomkins will be maxed out in nax gear. The op is a now issue, not a forever issue
Of course there are guilds like this, just look for a casual raiding guild. No everyone can be a no lifer.
