1) Most people who are "well known" are known due to forum participation, which is totally separate from the game.
2) You do not have to be rich at all to be "well known" or respected. You only need to be intelligent and well-spoken.
3) Most top players do not spend their entire lives in the game, and you do not need to do so to have good gear and be a successful player.
This kind of condescending, hateful attitude towards people who work hard and take pride in accomplishing things is all too common and makes absolutely no sense. The only reason I have ever been able to work out for it, is jealousy and/or laziness.
"I have no drive or ambition to succeed so I will put down those who do so I feel better about my own mediocrity"
I find that attitude sad, whereas I have great respect for someone who is willing to spend time and effort to achieve something they want.
