This is probably going to be too true and sad.
The problem is that the game is go go go and has been for a long time. People aren't going to revert to 14 years prior when most of the people A- never played or B- have been playing and don't have the time to mess around.
I'm going to just be flexible and enjoy the leveling and dungeon content. No need to speed through anything when it probably won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
As for the OP, just play what you want and if you and have dedication to your class, I believe you'll be able to find a raid spot.
