My 2 cents.
How does someone else getting sands -easier or not- cheapen your own accomplishments? Did someone tell you "NUB G0TZ D4T FUM #UN7Z Y34#!?" You're you and not player a, b, or c. If you're playing to get an self-esteem boost from owning rare or top tier loot then, you need to look inside because there's a quality better than that in you.
Not everyone is a raider, not everyone wants to, or for that matter can, put the time, resources, and effort into clearing that content. The people who will hunt to get their il110 gear get their satisfaction a different way from you. They aren't making you get your gear the same way or telling you to be a casual or non-raider.
Bickering over this seems a lot like gay marriage, it's not going to effect you personally so why are you so against someone getting their own version of happiness?
