I don't think I've actually seen many people "demanding" they need to have access to the same gear - merely happy that SE provided them with one. I have, however, seen a lot of raiders "Demanding" that the other people's i110 gear be taken away. It's like the toddler whose toy breaks, so he demands his brother's toy be broken, too.

I've been raiding for a long time, I've met a lot of different kinds of people. Generally, the only people who care about how "accessible" gear is are the ones who are only raiding for the purpose of appearing "teh best' and to stroke their epeen. The raiders who are actually doing it for their own sake and sense of progression usually don't give a shit, because that's all that matters to them - their own sense of progression.
