IronMan

but players like me who are at an intermediate level and trying to rise are complaining about this situation.

This is all subjective: I wouldn't call you an intermediate level. You don't have a full purple set, but having most of your loadout being legendaries on even one class puts you above that.

At the base of this argument though is the simple fact that people aren't entitled to others' time. Nobody is entitled to others playing with them. If they happen to want to play what you want to play, then great. If they choose something else, then well...deal with it.

It's also not demonstrated that without Ironman, the same cohort of players would play on other servers. I've certainly seen some names that I haven't seen in a while and I know it's due to Ironman, meaning we know that not everyone on Ironman would play elsewhere without its existence.
