Some people like dungeon crawling and m+, others enjoy playing with bigger groups of people. That's okay, different kinds of content appeal to different kinds of people.
Some people like playing the AH and earning $$$, others consider gold to be worthless. That's okay, playing WoW as an economy simulator is a valid playstyle but so is ignoring that aspect of the game.
Some people like raiding LFR / Normal / Heroic because they like tackling challenges with a large group of people / getting epic rewards. Suddenly that's not okay because people who don't raid Mythic are "skr00bs".
What the hell is going on with this community? There's nothing inherently more prestigious about raiding Mythic than there is about other aspects of the game. People raid Mythic because they enjoy tackling the most challenging content this game has to offer and getting the best rewards (questionable as of lately) with an organized group of people. Just because someone for whatever reason doesn't enjoy Mythic doesn't mean that they are a "skr00b" or that their opinion regarding game design is invalid. You can be a skilled player and not enjoy Mythic for a variety of reasons.
Why do people insist on elevating Mythic raiding to some kind of a pedestal and belittling people who don't do it when it's just another aspect of a game that supports a wide variety of valid playstyles?
