I could name a few in CC alone who invalidate this statement
A "few" never invalidate a general statement...and there always a few. The question is; do the few ruin it for the many?
To the prior point look at the beginning phases of twinking. There were vastly more libramless heads slots than those with them. The same trend was evident with leg armor. Way more twinks in the early phases opted for clefthide over nethercleft. Call it lazy or whatever...less effort decisions are seen more often early on. Funny thing is these same players are often standing around in major cities talking about being bored.
Some also call trying to build rep in the bracket trolling forums instead of playing in the bracket lazy or the less effort method...
