They fail to realize that their guild comprises a very small portion of the player population as a whole and that, even though they're free to say whatever they want in their own guild chat, the rest of the game should (and does) adhere to different standards.

In many cultures insulting someone's mother is one of the worst possible offenses imaginable. I thought you were in the reserves. How did you get through basic training without getting your ass kicked?

Not that I plan on soloing MC, but someone who did would want the cape because it would reduce the time it took for them to solo their MC runs. MC is an extreme example, however. I'm sure there are people soloing ICC or Firelands. Ironically, they're doing it for the Legendaries, even though those legendaries may be laughably bad in comparison to even MoP green gear. Sometimes it's fun to set a goal and work towards it, even if the goal is easy to accomplish. That's actually the driving principle behind most MMOs: give players easy goals to meet in a persistent virtual world. The number of people who take that to an extreme and set difficult virtual goals is much lower than what these forums lead you to believe.

It holds the space that used to be occupied by heroic 5-mans. Remember the ICC and ToC 5-mans? Those were discarded in favor of LFR.

That's only because most people will only run with others in 540+ gear. I guarantee that if you ran Flex with 25 random players in 510 ilevel gear you would reconsider that statement.

When you "work hard" and "put your all" into a game it's hard to sympathize with the notion that everyone else should have to "work" as hard as you did at screwing around in a game in order to get something out of it. I guarantee that the sooner you step back and put in-game activities into perspective the happier you'll be in the long run.
