The people who do put in a ton of time are rewarded by attracting more members and being able to gather huge force to down the mobs they do track and FTE. They reward those member with DKP and items. Are they all playing at 100%? No, but that's irrelevant. They've become a cog in the loot machine and that's all they need to do.
Completely relevant.

We are told time and time again that if you don't put in (some neckbeard-defined ridiculous amount of "video game work") time/effort, you don't deserve loot.

Yet all of your self-admitted "cogs in the loot machine" are somehow deserving of loot, despite not putting in the aforementioned amount of time/effort. Again, they show up and push buttons.

One might easily show that the average player in a more casual guild actually puts more time/effort contributing to their guild's success than 50 or 60 of your cogs.

So the precept that "you put in the work, you deserve loot" fails at its most fundamental definition, and it becomes truly "i just get off on denying other people from pixels because i'm an e-bully."

Let's call it for what it is and stop trying to sugarcoat.
