My problem with raiding for gear is that it always gets replaced eventually no matter what, and you don't need it to do heroics or soloing. You only need it if you're actually doing the raids.
and standing around looking pretty at the bank!
I'm fortunate in that I went from raiding in a nice raiding guild to multiboxing in a nice raiding guild so I still get the social thing even when I'm being a no-mates on my toons.
I'm behind the levelling curve as they have Naxx farmed to death while I'm still at 78. There's an understandable resistance to one person taking more than one character to raids (we have a solid full raiding team) but I dare say there will be options to do random Naxx runs with their alts once I'm at 80.
So, in summary, nice to have options. I personally wouldn't JOIN a guild now on the understanding that I would raid with them whether with one of my toons or five. Those days are well and truly over I'm happy to say.
