Hell, I'm writing this from work at 5AM on a saturday morning while I monitor banking batch jobs overnight in Central London, the last thing I want is another job in WoW.
You forget that "being the best" is not a solo effort. There are probably dedicated and far more knowledgeable raiders than you or I out there at the moment idling in relatively average raiding guilds because you still need a track record/experience for other, more progressive guilds to even give you a shot in their roster. To be the "best" you need to be willing to put in a level of time and dedication that 99% of people who play this game just wouldn't even consider... Your comments seem to put these top-players on some sort of god-like pedestal, a level of skill that us mere mortals could only ever dream of imitating and that is simply not the case.
