"If you're in the arena, and raiding is so much easier, then go raid.
If you're a raider, and the arena is so much easier, then go do arenas.
You're not actually concerned that someone else is getting something easier than you, because you would go do it and wouldn't look back. You're either unable or unwilling to switch to what you perceive is the easier route, and want what you're invested in or willing to do made easier based on what you perceive matches the effort invested in the other.
It goes either way, posts pop up with both viewpoints. Arenas are so easy, you just sleep your way to epics, or raiding is so easy, you just sleep your way to epics. If it's all just so easy then why don't you take the easier route? The grass is always greener."
