Quoting this for outright stupidity. You realize being 2k or above automatically puts you in something like the 95 or 98 percentile right? Yea, clearly ANYONE can get that. Quite obviously most people never will because this is a fucking ELO system genius. It is DESIGNED such that very few people will reach 2k. Individual cases where a skilled druid and a skilled warrior can team up to faceroll to a good PR is one thing, but considering the system as a whole where 0.1% of the population will get s4 shoulders is just fucking reTARDED.

And further raiding gets harder at a much steeper slope than arena. The difference between killing Illidan and killing M'uru is like the difference between an 1800 player and a 2500 player. |
Except that when 7 out of 10 of your attempts against supremus have him running around 1 shotting everyone because he's point/rating selling to prince malchezzar, it might get just a little annoying. But even taking what you said, you're still wrong. Pretty much every 70 at this point will be able to kill prince if you want to consider that as maintaining a 1350-1400 team. The number of people capable of killing successive bosses compared to the number of people able to clear certain PR thresholds is vastly favored in side of pve. All the way up until early MH/BT it isn't very difficult to be able to have access to defeating the content but good luck saying that about being 1800-1900 in terms of number of people who are physically able (again, read: ELO) to break that threshold.
Finally, wiping on supremus 3 times because he's point selling doesn't mean you have to go back and fight morogrim 5-6 times to get your pve rating back up.
