Then your comment is somewhat irrelevant, considering that even those guys were done with dailies etc. probably before YOU were. Just from knowing people in Blood Legion, they were already doing dailies on their mains two or three days into the expansion, for the most part. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were doing those same dailies on 2 or 3 toons by the time raids actually released.
These guys will try for every advantage - so even if it's only a piece every other week, they'll gun for that, and on multiple characters.
Honestly, I couldn't imagine doing that amount of raiding on top of dailies across multiple toons. I probably do 1-2 hours of farm/dailies on 2, almost 3, toons right now with around 3 hours of raiding a night, and still have to take a break from dailies. Do I personally have sympathy for them? Not necessarily - I agree that raiding 6-7 days a week on top of dailies would be more than I could handle. Plus, the idea of asking for donations to transfer... that just makes me angry. :P
