Unless they are a personal friend or guildmate, or running around bragging, there is no real way to know if someone spends plat or earns gold to buy their items. Many many people get mythic and arcane items without spending real money.
I don't get the derogatory attitude some people have about plat people anyways. Remember these people are the ones who pay so you can play for free. If anything you should cheer when they win something, because it might encourage them to chip in for more development.
