Over and Under-Powered Classes

The other day I was walking through Darnassus on Deotrixas when I saw two people arguing on General Chat. It was a feral druid arguing with a demo warlock because the warlock had won a duel or something like that; I didn't see the start of the argument but that's what I understood from what I saw. I don't really know what cause the argument, but it was something like the warlock claiming he was good and the druid saying that he wasn't, but that demo warlocks were very overpowered when it comes to duels (which I actually agree with). The warlock said that he won, and that's what mattered... it was a pointless fight, really, but it made me think about two things:

1) How people will claim other classes are overpowered but will never admit theirs is overpowered. I win because I'm good; he wins because he's overpowered (situational vs dispositional attributions).

2) Does it really matter if someone uses an overpowered class? The whole point of a duel is to try and win, right? So what does it matter what class/spec/whatever someone uses? Heck, someone could use fucking auto-attacks only that, if he wins by doing so, by all means do it. And if you know class is overpowered, why bother fighting it then?

In any case, the point of a game is to have fun. If you're going to be crying about which class is best and crying that your class sucks, then don't play. Why pay $15 a month to argue in General Chat about which class is better and which is worse? Why pay for a game you're not even going to enjoy? Join a forum instead and complain all you want on there, saving your money and, more importantly, others from your annoyance.
