Even with the gear being easier to get in general, the amount of time you need to put in is still a lot compared to most games.
Hmm. Maybe my experiences were different from yours. I remember in DAoC doing Tuscaren Glacier raids that took 2 hours. And some ML raids would go for 90 minutes, intermission, then another 90 minutes. The only raid I remember going on that was quick was the DF Prince raids. Ah, for the days of playing an MMO without arbitrary limits on attendees. If you wanted to 8-man a dragon, you could and have a much better chance at getting loot. Or if you were casual, you could tag along on the 80-man raids and usually end up with some seals or something about once a week.

I'm not sure which I like better, as DAoC felt like a much more social game and much less "exclusive" for high-end content. I actually got to see all of the raid content in DAoC except for ML8-10 as a pure casual.
