I’m curious to hear other peoples’ reasons for not raiding.
Me personally, it’s discord. Listening to meme speak for hours on end makes me want to gag. There is no carrot big enough to lure me back to that.
M+ is a lot more tolerable. People typically only say relevant information and move on.
I don’t raid as much as I used to because it serves no real purpose.
Get loot that is worse than M+ loot, or work harder than I would in M+. Get tier from any endgame content now. Story is available with cutscenes before the raid is even released.
Every reason I had to raid previously has been removed. No need to even raid for the xmog now.
Ever since M+ became a thing, I haven’t had any real interest in raiding. Being able to smash a key in 30 mins instead of spending 4 hours in an instance with 20 people all talking over each other and receiving comparable rewards for doing so is kind of a no brainer for me.
I don’t have the time to commit. Simple as that. 
I do lfrs , did all of sanctum heroic and got aotc and SotFO to Anduin but to be honest not sure if I’ll be doing past normal any more . THe arthritis makes it a little hard on spending to much time pressing buttons (keyboard and mouse)
Well i dont raid cuz i rather not wipe 20 times on one boss for a small chance at loot, set schedule 3-4 hours… i havent raided this patch at all and im 270
Yea that too i thot i was the only one lol
I can climb mountains, but I don’t jump through hoops. Plus I’m allergic to hamster wheels.
Same here, LFR is fine for me.
This is a big one too. It’s such a large commitment.
I don’t think SOFO is very interesting, I play on a surface with integrated graphics, I cannot commit to a raid team, and I refuse to pug. Also LFR is useless
I am not partial to success or failure reliant on 24 other people.
I have trust issues with relying solely on 1-4 people (tank and healz). Healer…my life is in your hands. Not a thing I relish
Not saying I am all that myself. quite average really. But I fail or succeed on my merits. and I will own my screw ups. so more solo stuff is liked. I messed it up. Just me…
PVp its not so bad so my preferred activitity. match goes to crap I still get honor. and if say wintergrasp defence goes to crap offence is walls/doors down in under 5 minutes. match over…hope next one is better. 5 minute fail is nice for that. its the 14 minute plus crap show runs you hate more really.
And I don’t get 500 gold repair bills in 10 minutes or less lol.
I had to take a break from progression raiding, but Normal/Heroic just doesn’t work for me, so I just opted not to raid at all.
I admit, I play a lot. But I’m not consistent. Raiding requires consistency. I cannot do that.
Mostly it’s class design and where we fit into the Raid which has become increasingly difficult over time. Personally I enjoy Tank and spank Raids which have become less and less in the DBM era.
Most fun I ever had Raiding was doing 30 Tank Heroic Raids in BFA where we all used TD and SotW essences buffing us up to insane HP. Then we just rolled over the Raid with hilarious TD procs raining down upon our enemies smiting all the Old Gods.
So with that said, I’d like more options in Raiding, class design and how the Raids can be completed. I just find traditional raiding extremely boring and time consuming for little reward. It isn’t fun!!!
However it would be fun if we can do silly 30 Tank Heroic Raid again dominating it with gear build and strats.
Don’t care anymore.
I definitely agree with this. I would love for a good “patchwork” fight.
bad past experiences. too stressful.
For me it’s, I did my run for raiding between Vanilla to MoP(previous account). After all that time I just got burnt out on it honestly.
I had a good run and enjoyed while it lasted but those days are behind me now.
Now I just do other stuff at my own pace.
