The problem with the view here is you're taking "doing whatever it takes to win" and associating it with negative and immoral actions when that isn't always the case. There are rules in place to keep the playing field fair. If players operate within those rules, what makes it unjustifiable, immoral, or greedy?
Would you call the Olympian that works out for an hour more than the rest of the competition every day greedy or immoral? Of course not. You would commend him for his dedication and hard work in order to win the competition. He went the extra mile. He did what all those other Olympians weren't willing to do by sticking it out in the gym for that extra hour each day despite how tired he was.
One could argue that's what TMO or any top guild is doing. They are going that extra mile to achieve their goal. To beat their competition. They are willing to sit and track that spawn those 8 hours that none of the other guilds are. They are willing to sacrifice hours of play to have their character parked in the most strategical location to kill their target. What's immoral or greedy about that? They aren't violating any rules just like that Olympian who isn't violating any rules by working out an extra hour every day.
Not everyone gets the gold medal at the Olympics and I've never heard anyone call the winner a greedy, immoral person for all the sacrifices he makes in order to deprive the competition of that gold medal. You could argue it's the same for raid loot. Not everyone gets to have raid loot. So, why now all of sudden are those who make sacrifices to get the kill considered greedy and immoral? As long as they are operating within the rules, where is the injustice?

It's comical to me that you compare anyone here to an olympian.
