What raiding means to me.

It is relevant because you can't compare a 226 to a 239 cloak.

I could be wrong but I think his point was more the fact that people pass up upgrades because they want to whore dkp for that 'big' item they want

The way I see it he's just mad at rng since loot he wanted didn't drop. He said one person rolled on a bad melee cloak compared to seven people rolling on BiS cloak. Can't compare a 226 cloak to a 239.
