I don't need the top tier of loot, and I don't like to raid.

What I do need is progression, which is what I'm paying Blizzard for.
I'm confused. You want to do progression type things...but dont like raiding? Thats 90% of the game. Make lvl cap, gear through heroics, then do raids for story, gear, and achievements. Progression=Raids. 5-mans may give you some story and progression, but only so much. Most will and does come out of raids. I'm willing to go as far and say that youve wasted your time (and money) if you dont like doing what the game is built around.
Hold on there, maybe 10% of the game is raid based. There is a TON of story and lore, a whole world to interact with outside of boss dancing, dps racing, and moving out of the fire. The game isn't built around raiding. Raiding is just the thing people inevitably end up doing at cap (that or PvP). Many players find themselves exploring and questing just to see what's out there, only to have so many story lines inevitably end at a door that says "No casual's allowed". Just because some people have tunnel vision and all they can see is how fast they can get to 80 and how fast they can get purples doesn't mean the rest of the game doesn't exist.
