Geared players in WOW

Gear for me is mostly a means to an end, especially tier gear; since BC I haven't liked the appearance of any single tier set, for any class. Blizzard went so over the top with the designs I would never wear those things if it was up to appearance alone. In the end I could never treat raid gear as a trophy anyway because I don't play MMOs to gape at better geared characters or to be frustrated with my inability to reach objectives; I play to have fun, to do things I find engaging and entertaining. To that end, I will mostly only do things in the game that I find enjoyable, and will treat the rewards such as WOW gold for anything else as if it simply didn't exist.
 
Given that I don't like feeling like the game is a second job, and I mostly refuse to schedule play time, I'm not the kind of player that can keep a spot in a raid, so I treat any reward above LFR as if it was never implemented in the game. A consequence of the above point of view is that I won't do content I dislike for any reason just to reach content I might enjoy. It does not matter, for example, how good the rewards for reaching exalted with a faction are, if I don't legitimately enjoy the rep grind - in other words, if I wouldn't do it anyway even without WOW gold and the rewards - then I won't even bother with it.
 
That is the same goes for raids and dungeons; I only go through them while I'm legitimately having fun, when I stop having fun I stop doing that content, and if that prevents me from progressing, so be it; I just unsubscribe until enough time passes for me to legitimately have fun with the content again, or until a way to bypass the content I don't want to play is added to the game. PvP gear progression is the main reason I'm not interested in the least in WoW's PvP. I play PvP almost exclusively in games that enforce a level field of play, given the fact that I strongly dislike both going against better geared players and going against worse geared players. I want my enemy to have a good chance of defeating me, and to have a good chance of defeating my enemy and earn some WOW gold, otherwise I simply can't have fun when playing PvP.
