it's not the top tier players that are obsessed with who deserves what. if they're obsessed with anything it's fairness. want the same reward. do the same challenge. basic fairness.

its the lower end players who are obsessed with entitlement and deserve.. they want all the shiny things but they dont want to step up to the challenges, they feel entitled they feel they deserve. they feel they shouldnt have to earn it fairly..
Yeah...No. Not always. Again, cheap stereotyping helps nobody. The raiders who want equality are the reasoable ones who don't foam out of rage and hatred for the bad, bad "casuals" (which, of course, also consist of good and bad apples). WoW has shown more than once that (in terms of manners and behavior) bad raiders can cry and flood forums with tears just as good as bad casuals when their "effort" is undermined by for example gear resets with each xpansion ("muh raid gear is replaced with normal quest rewards") or they fear to lose their bragging rights. Again, not every raider but the dunderheads thinking that being mature is only related to cheese.

As for the topic at hand: While I'm sure this topic goes down into the same "raider vs non-raider" slugfest, I'm all for tools helping self-improvements.
In general, RNG groups can expect from me two things - 1) Doing mechanics as good as I manage them and 2) Using skills as it seems logical, i. e. AoE on mobs, not AoE on boss or < 3 enemies. What they can not expect: Me practicing any form of serious rotation/opener sequence. It reminds me of junior high memorizing and learing vocabulary. It's boring and would make me sleepy really fast. I read my tooltips and arrange the skills as I see it suitable (as a notoric clicker). In exchange, I guarantee that you'll never see me in extreme, savage or ultima content and - outside of roulettes - only in story dungeons pre-Trusts or story trials once.
