You are missing the community aspects of running raids over time. Vs. grinding them in one or two weeks and then going back to TRing and complaining there is nothing to do. It's not your fault. You didn't start playing until after that era ended. As I recall you started playing until MoTU or later.
youre right. i started a month before update high road, and few months before EGH. so i never knew of a ddo before timers.
but timers didnt kill heroic shrouds, which were up many times a day, everyday, even on a low pop server like orien. people still did citw and fot every day, multiple times daily until around u19-20, when the loot became much worse and thunderholme raids released. and even when mod released people were still doing thunderholme, and could even get a fot, and citw frequently few times a week.
the raids were all played, on timers. it wasnt the bypasses that killed them because turbine would just largely invalidate all the loot within a year. all the gear from citw-doj was used and farmed for, until codex and loot revamp made that shit look like low epic level trash. turbine/ssg could have made timers free in the store and it wouldnt have shortened the life span of any raid before they themselves made the loot trash every 4th update.
those were good times for raids. to me the best time for raiding was before u19. i distinctly remember doing citw and fot 10x a day. buying timers from store and there were always people to fill.
