So, if you choose to blame it on 'social realities', confine that reality to your server, not mine.

Perhaps you both need a reality check.
You're on Stormrage, Mavfin - last I checked (which was several months ago, I'll admit), it was an extremely high-pop server. While your raid alliance may play a normal style, I'm willing to wager quite a bit that most of the other guilds on your server - both sides - play more towards the min-max style. Whether they do better or worse than you is somewhat irrelevant here, however; the reality that Hedon is referring to is present on EVERY server with raiders on it, including Stormrage (and Terenas, if you raid there.)
Likewise, not everyone plays to the Minimum-Maximum⢠tune, Hedon; I'm a diehard Protection Warrior specifically engineered for PvP. While I may be more effective as Arms (if I can manage to stay awake; MS spec is the very essence of tedium) or Fury, I thoroughly enjoy being able to take an unholy amount of damage and keep on staggering downfield with the flag, or to completely lay out anyone stupid enough to try and fight me in melee combat. It's not min-max, but it's where I find the increasingly limited amount of fun in the game :)
