Any MMOs Unlike WOW?

Are there any MMOs out there that DO NOT have raids, but instead have just the dungeons and all the other traditional MMO stuff? Seems like most MMOs follow in the foot steps of World of Warcraft by having Weapons and Armors sought after in Raids as end game content. This kind of end game content is what destroys MMOs...it's done all wrong.

I would love to see and MMO where top level Armor and Weapons are gained through professions, battlegrounds, quests, and serveral player dungeons....but not 25 to 40 man Raids. That's why I continue to play stand alone PC games more than anything because MMOs are not the bomb right now.

The Casual video game "Soiled Earth" (which is addicting) is more fun to play than World of Warcraft and it's much lighter on your pockets. Hell, even the freeware game "Legend of Zelda, Deja'Vu" beats "WOW."

I've played that MMO for years, and so many other players agreed with me and a lot of those players kissed "WOW" goodbye before I did. I went to "Age of Conan" thinking it would not kill the game with Raiding but it did. "Guild Wars" do not have raids but that MMO is not really like a true MMO...it's more like a stand alone game and it sucks. "PWI" did not have raids....just hard dungeons, but the Cash Shop destroys that game. The developers built "PWI" depended on the Cash Shop too much.
 
Idk about many MMO's, but the word "raid" makes me cringe. I was playing on 360 at a friend's house. He looked at the time, logged off, told me to play alone, and did like a 2 hour raid on WoW. I'll NEVER play that game because of the effects I see it having on people close to me and to others I know as well.
 
An old room mate of mine started playing WoW with his fiance'. They really stopped socializing much for months as they got pulled into the game.

I don't know if it is what you have in mind, but Torchlight is an RPG made by some of the original Diablo team. It seems to get back to the point of questing rather than just item collecting.
 
I think Dungeon fighter online fits the bill.... I hate MMO's like WoW as well.. actually I hate MMOs period but Dungeon fighter online is a lot of fun for me so i stuck with it
