So. I am not a fan of guilds. I've done my wow raiding time, did my random assorted fps clans, but I do this game for solo fun. I really appreciate the inclusion of ingame content. I really appreciate the new communications this will allow. However, my personal preference should not dictate others not having theirs. I'm just asking to continue the grind without reliance on a guild for raiding.
I do not appreciate the raiding aspect of gearing. That is not to say that I don't thing raising deserves gear. But I dislike that raiding is thus far the only listed location for this gear. I'd personally prefer it to be something akin to challenges, where gear can be gotten en masse, but only if one wants to complete the challenge.
And double my distaste if the gear rewards are based off of competitive raiding. That is probably the fastest way to turn off a lot of moderate spenders very quickly. Yes, this can build community through competition, but it can very easily alienate a large portion of the player base if rewards get too skewed.
I'm not saying I don't want guilds. I'm not saying raiding shouldn't give rewards. I am saying that if appreciate ways to get that gear outside of raiding.

Don't expect easy gear drops
I'm guessing maybe 1 per day
Your forgot the someone has to randomly go and the alternate outside has gone afk without telling anyone.
Raiding is technically solo
It'll be exactly like Ls/Ds node. Only the enemies will deal same amount of damage but have 100x more health. The boss will be at end of node, being something with 1000X more health than the average character
You will take turns battling with your guild, and be rewarded based on a "take a number" system, and also rewarded for the damage you did
After you fight, the enemies do not regain health (and enemy healers cannot heal), and then the next person tries to fight. It's meant for you to lose the battle but progress through it slowly and cooperatively
By "take a number", you claim which item you want, and if that item drops when a battle ends, whoever is first in line gets it.
So, still it is solo play
If a dev wants to claim this raid feature is not copy paste from Heroes Charge, then I dare you to say it
I have not played any games with "raids" before, so I guess I just need clarification...
I haven't even seen force awakens yet. But I like this game for the most part, although that is true less and less
