So, by that same logic, those who don't like to compete likely wouldn't be motivated to do so for a competition reward right? I mean, if that's the only means of getting it, but you don't want to compete, no big deal, right?

It's really not about getting it first, and many PvPers have chimed in on this, saying exactly that. You continue to miss where I said it's about earning a reward proportional to the effort put into it. . . Or are you saying it'd be perfectly okay to get raid level gear from sub-raid content? Hi, Diadem kinda did that, and with Gordias being the huge pain it was back then, it further crippled the raid scene. Or how about that time Hunts gave you EVERYTHING but Atma? It got so bad, they had to create a relic step designed to make people run instances again.

It's a common practice in MMO's.
You say my analogies are whack, yet come up with something like people having a fake trophy made? Sorry, but that's not what I asked. I said would it make sense to lose - that means NOT WIN the Super Bowl - but then obtain an equal award to the winners through Non-Super Bowl games?
