As a person without mythic equipment, I am trying to at least be fair and see both sides of where people are coming from. Not only my perspective, but that of the other side as well. I am trying to find a way to stick up for mythic users, too. But it seems like all the mythic users want to do is bash and suppress those who don't have the same advantages as them, without acknowledging what the rest of us have to say. I find that mindset deplorable. People keep commenting that "mythics don't cost that much anymore" and that "you don't need a full mythic set to be competitive", but they're missing the point. It's about the principle.

If some people want to play until their minds go numb and their eyeballs fall out of their socket, that's fine. I and many others have a busy life out of this game. I don't have the time/willingness to be able to spend countless hours saving up/farming/merching for items I will hardly have the time to use. I'm fine with not having the latest and the greatest, especially since I'm a casual player and am not playing all too often. However, that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to enjoy PvP against people I stand a chance against.

I personally don't find satisfaction in beating opponents who aren't on equal footing with myself, and then stroking my ego about it. That would be akin to a grown man bragging about smoking 5-year-old child at a game of basketball. Like Vjerevica stated, it really does seem like elite PvPers are not looking for duels with equals.

To each their own, I suppose.
Please be aware that the supposed players that you think play for so long to earn these mythics honestly do not. Now, when I play, I usually try to stick to a few things so I do not waste time dilly-dallying. Heck, I'm a college student who spends a lot of his time doing other things. However, I typically get on at night and am still able to get done what I want to get done.

It took me maybe 2 weeks after I hit the L31 level cap to get a full mythic set back when it was worth 25M? If I want something that costs 10M+, if I can achieve it rather quickly.

My point was, if others are able to do it with their work lives, you can too! You're not the only with a life outside of this game. We all have our own responsibilities.

Have you heard of the phrase, "Work Hard, Play Hard"? It could be used relatively well here, IMO.
