I am not going into every single Point you have mentioned.

1) Disagree because it is no "fair" question why Raiders are allowed to have the Best Gear or Highest Ilevel ingame. They work for it and some of them have to Training Alot and should be rewarded for it. To be honest, running Dungeon on Minimum Ilevel Gear required for it, is still easy so why should it be rewarded with Gear which is smililar to a 8 PPL Raid which required Skill and Class Knowledge?

2) I never said any word in my Post how huge the Gap between Raiders and Non-Raiders should be, but 10Ilevels should make the deal.

3) I never facepalm because i cannot speedrun anything, i never did in ARR and never did in HW. Aslong as they know how to Play their Job and know the Boss mechanics i am perfectly fine.

4) To argue that u cannot fill your static and they Need the Ilevel to be viable for the Raids is completly cheap. Look at those PF Groups which set the ilevels to numbers which arent necassary to those fights, and those "farm" Groups fail hard. Gear doesnt make a bad Player a better one. If you cannot understand mechanics, if you cannot Play your Job (take MCH as example with his 12 skills opener for max. DPS) then this Job or the Raid isnt for you. -And before you going to tell me i am such an elitst, i am not raiding in those Kind of games, i am helpful to newer Players and i am one of those who explains stuff to Players they dont understand the mechanics.

5) No Themepark MMO i have played has a real "Raid or Die" mentality, a "Raid or Die" Mentality would mean -> Level up, farm Dungeon Gear, get into Raid. so People they dont Raid just have Dungeon Gear and they are done with this Game. And about the Mounts and Glamour Stuff you mentioned, srsly cannot remember the release of HW with Alexander 1-4? Same Gear out of the Savage just with the Option to dye it? exclusive Glamour i guess lol.

So to argue that having no real gap i case of ilevel and Gear is a good Thing, is just one side of the medal.

Raiders ARE rewarded for their efforts. With cosmetics such as unique armor models, unique mounts and prestigious titles. With all that, coupled with a slight edge in ilvl, why do raiders need even more reward?

I have presented several benefits to how our minimal ilvl gap is GOOD for the game, and trying to handwave away those points a) doesn't work and b) doesn't support your position in any way. They are actual benefits to the game. Where a larger ivll gap between raiders and non-raiders does not, in any way, benefit the game as a whole.

Not one single person who advocates for raiders being put on a pedestal has put forth any benefits a larger ilvl gap would provide. Raiders are already rewarded enough. They don't need even more rewards on top of that which they already get. So if there's another "side" to this, please by all means elaborate. But don't just post how "raiders work so hard! of course they should get the best! And non-raiders shouldn't get anywhere near what raiders get!" because that isn't supporting your position. All that does is say raiders are entitled gits, which I know is generally not true.
