Raiding seriously is very time consuming. I basically schedule the rest of my life around it, which is easy for me since my family responsibilities keep me at home with quite a bit of free time. If I had today the very full life I had 20 years ago, there is no way that I would even think of playing WoW, let alone raiding. WoW fills the time, and fills it very pleasantly.
If you have a yen to see the end game content, raiding is the only way to get there. I like to see what lies ahead. That is the strongest appeal for me in gaming. There was never any question in my mind that a lot of things like movies, some reading, etc. would go on the back burner, so I could achieve that end. But it's always things related to self-entertainment that go on that back burner. RL comes first and when it needs me, I'm there.
There are so many people who want to raid. There's always someone who would be happy to take your spot in the event you can't make it on a particular night.
