I'll preface this by saying that I don't care about your preferred method of attaining gear that gets you to light level 30.
There are "earners" who claim that the only /real/ way to reach level 30 is by equipping full raid gear. I would like to know why you feel this way. If you could provide insight as to why using exotics or iron banner equipment is a lesser way to reach the highest level, I am curious to hear your reasons.
To those who would post to simply dismiss these people for their beliefs, please refrain from doing so. I'd like to get a well reasoned reply as to why they feel this way and reduce any banter arguing the point.

I think it's because they likely spent a lot of their time doing the raid several times a week to get their gear, and they feel cheated since now all you have to do is spend a few hours getting to reputation level 4
